Hey, looking through my copy of Char Law (RMC) I come across a note on p.138 last paragraph which says"Note: Use the Self Discipline stat bonus to reduce the penalty of maneuvers when Stunned (which have standard penalties ranging from -30 to -70, see Table 10-02."
What does this mean? Do SD reduces the penalties from SM or does it work like an innate Stun Removal skills as RMSS style? I cant see any mentioning of "stunned" on Table 10-02..

There is a typo in that note. It should actually be Table 10-04 -- referring to the "Serious Wound" section and includes the rows Stunned and Down from that section.
It is NOT any sort of Stun Removal. It is simply saying that a good Self Discipline can reduce the penalties from being stunned. The character would still count as stunned, and no rounds would be removed from their stun.
This is in the same line as Strength offsetting encumbrance penalties....
In other words, not everybody is stunned equally -- those with exceptionally high stats/bonuses can function better while stunned than others with average or low stat/bonus.
Conversely, those with a negative SD bonus would have higher penalties (i.e. elves with their innate -20 SD).

Ah, now it makes sense. Thanks :)
So on the topic, are there an Stun Removal(ish) skill in RMC?

Nope, and there likely will not be either. Not in RMC (although there was such a skill in RM2's RoCoII).

Alrighty, thanks for the (quick) reply;)

Wow, dangerous. I encourage all my players to buy Stunned Manuever, though they all don't.

Is it possible in this way to reduce the penalty to 0?

Conceivably, yes, it would be possible.
