Stun next round or this round?

[shnar]

One ruling I 've never been able to figure out with Arms Law is when stun applies. A crit happens and you're stunned for 1 round. Does that start the round the crit happens, and then end at the end of the next round? This only matters during initiative order. If a player is hit and stunned before his initiative turn, is he effectively stunned 2 rounds?

I always called it more by action. If he is stunned for 1 round before he gets to act, then he doesn't get his action this round. If he is stunned after he acts, then he doesn't his action next round.

That's the way I have always played it.

Stuns - If the target receives the stun before they have accomplished 50% of their activity for the round, then they are considered stunned for the rest of the round, losing whatever activity that they have been attempting to accomplish and the current round counts as one stun round. If the stun occurs after 50% of their activity for the round has been expended, then the character is able to finish his action with a -25 modifier and this round does NOT count as one of their stunned rounds.

This same methodology can also be applied to RMFRP as well since it also uses a system that has activity percentages.

I totally missed that part. Thanks
