Kyshakk Koan Lattan Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I'm most of the way through the game and still have no idea what it does to you/your opponents. Can anybody explain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 A character or monster that's stunned in one round will have fewer action points in the following round. If it's stunned badly enough, it may even miss its next turn entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Also, stunning often persists for more than one round. Like all status effects, it will weaken with each passing round. However, it's cumulative, so the more heavy hits you take, the more stunning you will accrue.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Stunning comes in levels. When your next turn to act rolls around, you lose 1 AP and 1 level of stun until you aren't stunned anymore. If that's more than the AP you get in one round, the excess waits for your next turn. Or so I would imagine from Geneforge, anyway. In practice I've never been that stunned, and I'm pretty sure I've been stunned and not actually lost any AP. —Alorael, who may have imagined that part. Or maybe that was his fighters once they were able to get more than 8 AP and he just didn't notice that 9 - 1 = 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty easy to get stunned into immobility if you charge your fighter into a cave full of submission fungi. Even with (nominally) 100% stun resistance, you're likely to come out of that a few AP down every round; if you're wearing the Emerald Chestguard or other armour with poor stun resistance, whoever's getting hit will likely be useless most of the time.

Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 It's definitely possible to lose more than 1 AP per round, if you're heavily stunned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Yes, I've lost more than 1 AP. I think I've lost up to 4, and I always kill Submission Fungi with bows and Bolts of Fire from out of range. What I'm claiming is that I've never been stunned for more AP than the character had, which those fungi could do, and that I've been stunned for no noticeable change in AP. —Alorael, who was unable to replicate such a lack of AP loss. He'll chalk it up to skribbane and pretend he never claimed it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
