|---|
I noticed that SMs deal more damage than normal when triggering stun. But is stun a result from high damage dealt or is stunning the cause of the high damage?
If it's the latter, how frequent is stun then? |
"Stun:
After every attack, the creature has a chance to stun the target so that it would not retaliate and would lose all its accumulated initiative. Stun doesn't affect mechanical creatures. " |
| Yes I can read that myself. Can I get a more elaborate answer? |
| nope. lol |
Well taking the definition of a 'turn' as an interval in which the creature accumulates initiave...
The creatures needs X amount of initiative to get a turn (action this time), and gets Y initiative every turn. So the stun gets no retaliation, and destroys all initiative gained in how every many turns.
so the creature has to start over gathering initiative. So all the turns getting Y initiative are destroyed, and the creature starts over, gathering to reach X. So the closer to the stacks next turn the stun hits, the more effective it is. |
i guess what irreps wants to know is something like each hit has a XY% chance of trigering a stun. and if or not XY is influenced by dammage done...
i would like to know this too... |
Thank you, Zarebrant, for understanding me, hehe.
So does anybody know? |
| I think it was just a coinsidence |
| Stun isn't triggered by high damage, nor does it trigger high damage. I believe it is a strict percent, and I don't know what it is and I doubt it will ever be revealed if it is not already. |
