This isn't uncommon in 3e, especially at high levels. Being stunned for 3d4 rounds doesn't take the player out for half the combat. It takes the player out for the entire combat, and a considerable amount of real time.I agree with the posters who've made the distinction between conditions that take the character out of action, and those that take the player out of action.I disagree with posters who seem to be experiencing shadenfreude at the imminent death of tabletop rpg because it is becoming too much like a video game. This is pure supposition based on no facts. We've heard about the imminent death of tabletop rpg with each new gaming format. First it was video games, then computer rpgs, then collectible card games, and now games like WoW. It wasn't true then. It isn't true now. And there is no evidence that it will be true in the future.</blockquote>
