[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 1849936, member: 114"] Very kind of you to say so, but I love house-ruling things to make sense from my perspective, so I'd always recommend checking things out in the books to be really sure ;) Seravin, I think although you are right in saying "Re-reading the PW Stun spell, it says the duration lasts for x rounds, not that the victim is stunned for x rounds.", the effect is the same. wiz casts stun in init 18 in round 1. at init 18 in round 2 it has been going for 1 round at init 18 in round 3 it has been going for 2 rounds and thus ceases (technically at init 19 in rd 3 to be precise IIRC) so PC is stunned before he acts in round 1, thus losing his round 1 action. In round 2 the stun is still continuing and so he is still stunned. The stun expires in rd 3 before he acts so he acts normally at his init in rd 3. Thus he lost two actions (in rd 1 and in rd 2) and had the "stunned" condition from rd 1 init 18 through to rd 3 init 19. The clearest related rules cite I can come up with is in the text of the stunning fist feat. I've emboldened the relevant sentence, which describes how long stunning for 1 round lasts. Cheers [/QUOTE]
