Besides I also think change of pace makes those sweet moments sweeter. But that's just me, and only one way of looking at things.Fine, if your Stunned and your fellow players can blasely deal with the situation, I can imagine that is boring.I can remember one occaision where the castle my players were trapped in was under invasion by a massive horde of barbarians. The door they were walking past suddenly burst open, Surprising them. Only two barbarians could get at them through the door but they were massively hard hitting Brutes. One of them had a Stun Encounter power  with an EoNT effect. So, there was the poor little bow ranger stuck next to these monsters as they wailed away on her and hope of getting out of there before dying looked slim. But her allies thought fast on their feet and got coordinated. The Drow Sorceror dropped her Cloud of Darkness and Deep Shroud as the Paladin picked up the Stunned and nearly dead Ranger and hauled her over her shoulder. The Cloud stayed there confusing the Barbarians as the entire party stealthed away under the cover of Deep Shroud and hid til the barbarian incursion washed past them to another area of the castle. It wasn't boring. A surprise round and 2 normal rounds and everyone was on the edge of their seats. Anyway, I don't think this is a 'This needs to be errated' type issue. More of a House Rule discussion what's going on at the moment.</blockquote>
