[QUOTE="Tersival, post: 7153211, member: 6792135"] I was surprised to read this. I don't know anyone who's been tasered but I know police who've been trained in taser and they're told that recovery can often be near instantaneous, especially when the subject is violent. When properly deployed tasers deliver electricity through the subjects muscles between the taser's probes causing "electro-muscular disruption (EMD)" as the effected muscles painfully spasm, overriding conscious commands BUT as soon as the current stops. Muscular function returns, and a pissed off subject can immediately resume fighting. Check out: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avAH49NY_iY[/url] to see a cop pushing through being tasered to keep fighting (even though the other cops tasered fell over). From [url]http://copquotes.blogspot.com.au/2010/10/do-people-go-unconscious-when-hit-with.html[/url], "Once the cycle completes the sensation immediately stops. The only sensation that I had after being hit with the Taser is similar to a weight lifting work out. All of the large muscle groups feel pumped up ... In my experience of deploying a Taser against someone, most do not want a second round. Those who choose to continue in the aggressive behavior and get a second dose rarely need a third." Its the pain that stops most people. That doesn't sound like the "Stunned" D&D condition to me, although the youtube clip does look movement was at least halved! [/QUOTE]
