Stun Removal at -50?

(1/2) > >>

eskla:
Is the penalty for being stunned (-50 or -75, mitigated by 3xSD) intended to be applied to Stun Removal maneuvers?  I'm playing using the FRP ruleset.

jdale:
Given that the Stun Removal skill explicitly lists modifiers for the number of stun rounds already, I would assume you are not supposed to also apply the maneuver penalty for being stunned. Also, the -50/-75 penalty for being stunned only applies to "movement and maneuvering", which I take as meaning actually moving around, not all "maneuvers" in the RM sense of skill checks. Most actions don't have a penalty because they are simply impossible while stunned; stun removal skill is of course an exception to that.

Majyk:
Confirmed that this was how we played it.
Stun Removal had no malus/mods against it due to stun effects.

Micael:
I would assume, that you need stunned maneuvring to decrease the -50 bonus to 0- otherwise it's to easy in my opinion to ignore stunning. In FRPG it's easy to get +50 in low levels especially with talent boni. Then a medium level char is effectively immune to stunning with this skill alone...the malus from stun removal is for more the one round of stun and is much less then -50. If you ignore the -50 you in fact make stun manoeuvring skill obsolete.

We have always applied the negative from being stunned to all maneuvers, including skill rolls, such as casting spells. We have never only limited it to movement.
