Thus, Kiai is best for team actions (so someone can exploit the -4 penalty to defense from stunning).
You do realize that even if they roll to recover from the stun on their very next turn, they still have the -4 until the start of the turn after, so you yourself can still hit them without needing extra attack at -4
