Actually, unless a
stun is involved, Do Nothing is not as punishing as you think. You can
still take any Active Defense if someone attacks you.
To be physically stunned two things generally need to happen:
1. A “major wound” of a
single injury of greater than 1/2 your HP occurs.
2. You fail your HT roll when 1 occurs.
For a mental stun either Total or Partial Surprise needs to occurs.
