[QUOTE="Karl Green, post: 1915278, member: 1467"] [b]Central City Mall, 1:48pm, Oct 30th, 2004[/b] (OCC [color=yellow]OK thinking about it lots, reading stuff over in M&M boards etc I [i]think[/i] that I am going to go with… (drum roll please ;)) 'lose your next action, you are unstunned on the initiative order that you were stunned on but you cannot act (speaking free action ok, cause their good for comics) until your action' So Psimon was stunned 'last' by Cyborg so he is unstunned on 13. I'm not 100% happy with this as it puts to much importance on Initiative again but it [I]seem[/I] to be the way the rules are suppose to be. BUT I also re-read HERO POINTS and Recover.

I am thinking that I might allow [I]anyone[/I] to spend a Hero Point at the beginning of the round or at any time they want to become 'unstunned'. As this will solve this problem I have with it. NOT going to do this yet, just thinking and planning. Also correct from last round… H4H, I forgot Arsenal’s surprise strike. That would have disabled Gizmo and then Risk’s punch would have put him to dying… so if you really want to shot him again you will probably kill him :o otherwise I assume you are helping rescue civilians as the roof starts to cave in.
