[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 4899810, member: 53980"] I think that could work, but I'm not certain. Per RAW, the pacifist [i]could[/i] spend 1/4 of the fight stunned (fine while the enemies are above bloodied, then stunned every other round as he attacks bloodied enemies). Since fights aren't really that simplistic odds are he won't, but it still limits the cleric's options for about half the fight (restricting the cleric to attacks against non-bloodied targets or using non-damaging attacks like Astral Seal and Aid Another). I'm not sure how often the feat is meant inconvenience the cleric. A careful and smart cleric using the RAW feat could potentially avoid stunning completely by limiting his actions to those that won't trigger the stun. If the cleric's party can trigger it, odds are the cleric will spend at least some time stunned in most combats (since he has to make a save each time an enemy is killed). The above could give the pacifist a healthy hatred of controllers and minions. Though it is a pretty fitting idea (cleric is stunned by his companions' bloodthirst) it would probably be more enjoyable to leave whether to risk being stunned or not up to the cleric. On the other hand, there's nothing to say he has to take the feat, so there's that too... [/QUOTE]
