Mindblast/stun

[Joso500]

Hi, just wondering upon the effects of being stunned, is it possible to cure a stunned person? With anything, like the remove paralysis spell?

When we played yesterday, we didn't allow the remove paralysis remove the stun.

Cheers

When you're stunned it wears off rather quickly, often just a round, so generally the problem of "curing" stunning is not much of an issue.
But a Mind Blast lasts for 3d4 rounds, and Power Word Stun potentiall even more.

I don't think there's any "official" way of helping another recover from being stunned, but I'd allow Remove Paralysis to do the job, citing the "from paralysis or from related magic".
But others could (and will, certainly) judge otherwise.

Officially there isn't anyway but Heal to remove Stun from a creature.

Our group discussed a spell "Unstun" 2nd level cleric spell (because I'm a cleric) that removes stunn from 1 creature every 2 levels in a small area of effect.

My DM ruled that Dispel Magic would do the job, though that's a House Rule. Nothing Core can remove it.

news ...

just saw this about an hour ago ... Mind blast in for PC's against non-psion's is pretty strong for 9pp.

A suggested change was to make it only stun for 1d4 rounds against non-psionics, but leaving it so illithid/kin still did the 3d4 rounds. [on monte's boards: psionics]

how to recover from stun? ...a healing spell I think would work

The freedom spell removes stunning.

The freedom spell removes stunning.

Haha! Well spotted!

But doesn't it seem a little harsh if stunning can only be countered by a 9th level spell?
