Nega-traits and standing up?

[axiom]

Over the weekend another player was using Chaos Pact. We couldn't work out when you roll for a nega-trait when you're standing up.

Do you:

a) Stand up, declare action, roll nega-trait (player stands up but if fails roll, stands around doing nothing)

or

b) declare action, roll nega-trait, stand up if passed / remain on ground if failed?

Thanks for your help

b

(so yes you have now used you blitz action)

Something that really sucks when playing with trees. Taking Root AND failing to get up!

Great - thanks for the clarification guys!
