When a non-lethal attack deals stun damage, do you say “you take X stun damage” and mark it separately from normal damage, or do you say “you suffered a non-lethal attack, you’re stunned”…or something else entirely?

  1. “The pugilist clocks you in the jaw, you reel back stunned for a moment. He’s winding up for the knockout, what do you do?”

    If the character does anything, they need to defy danger.

    As written a PC doesn’t take physical damage, and until it makes narrative sense (i.e. a minute or so has passed, someone throws cold water on you, you get some smelling salts, etc.) the PC is stunned and must defy danger to act.

  2. As a GM, you can just state it. Instead of saying “Roll Last Breath” You just say “You’re unconscious” or “Take the Stunned debility”

    K.O.

    When you Attempt to knock someone out roll +Str. *On a 10+, they’re out cold. *On a 7-9, Choose 1. *On a miss, the GM chooses 1:

    -You did more harm than you intended

    -You drew unwanted attention

    -They’re only dazed…
