Subject: Stun Issue & Interview with Geoffrey Zatkin
Sorry, can't agree with you on the stun issue either. Doesn't make ANY
sense to me, much less total as it does to you. If you have been given the
ability by the gods to put a "divine" shield around yourself and make
yourself invulnerable from being hit, then you shouldn't be able to be
stunned because the critter MUST hit you to stun you. Quite simply, you
can't get stunned if you can't get hit. Now, if they would've said Divine
Aura is strictly a spell to prevent you from taking any DAMAGE from a hit
but not to prevent you from BEING hit, then that is different.
But in my opinion, if we have the ability to cloak ourselves from damage,
it should include ALL damage, including stuns. Because stun to me IS a form
of damage even though it does not reduce your hps. It renders you incapable
of moving, which to me, is STILL a type of damage. Just like the blinding
light spell.....its effects, aka damage, aren't reflected in loss of hps but
it DOES damage to you by rendering you incapable of seeing.
