I can see how a blow might disable a limb for a time (funny bone, for ex.) but that doesn't strike me as beeing like a 'stun' in effect, where you'd lose control of your entire body for a period. Having limbs disabled by damage is already covered by the rules, without needing a separate 'stun' effect, I should think.<BR>
<BR>
Now, I'm just a willowy wimp in real life, so I'm just posing the question for you real fighters out there to answer. If you guys say that a blow to the leg would cause me to be 'stunned' (ie. unable to react - not just in that limb but the entire body), then I'll take your word for it. But I want to make sure we're talking about the same thing here.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers!<BR>

Thanks, Phil.<BR> <BR>Hmm - good case for extending that 'stun' rule to the chest and abdomen then. How about arms and legs?<BR> <BR>> Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 16:00:47 +0100<BR>> From: snarks@gmail.com<BR>> To: runequest@rpgreview.net<BR>> Subject: Re: [Runequest] Three different topics.<BR>> <BR>> Chris:<BR>> > ...
