Take Cover action

[mlenser]

Should we add a Take Cover action? See https://2e.aonprd.com/Actions.aspx?ID=90

Take Cover Requirements You are benefiting from cover, are near a feature that allows you to take cover, or are prone. You press yourself against a wall or duck behind an obstacle to take better advantage of cover. If you would have standard cover, you instead gain greater cover, which provides a +4 circumstance bonus to AC; to Reflex saves against area effects; and to Stealth checks to Hide, Sneak, or otherwise avoid detection. Otherwise, you gain the benefits of standard cover (a +2 circumstance bonus instead). This lasts until you move from your current space, use an attack action, become unconscious, or end this effect as a free action.

Usually Dodge covers all "take a defensive stance" situations.

Dodge is 1 action to avoid 1 attack. Take Cover could be used to increase defense/reflex/stealth for a longer period. It would be useful in combat as it applies for the whole turn or outside of combat to be more stealthy.

This action basically increases half cover to 3/4-cover then? I think it's fine, but it should make you immobile or something, otherwise everyone will do it out of combat.
