Unless it was the šedu that killed him with a glyph.

Yes, that's right, just sleep. Believe what you are told.

Re: [Martial Arts] Getting the Wind Knocked Out of You
That's an interesting effect, particularly for gaming (and makes for a great justification for an instant dim mak), but the heart is a pretty unique organ - it's even got its own class of muscle - so I'd be pretty reluctant to expand that effect to any other muscle. In particular, with the diaphragm being consciously controllable, knocking involuntary use out of rhythm would in theory just require the target to attempt to breathe to get it back on track.

Re: [Martial Arts] Getting the Wind Knocked Out of You
I landed on my chest. So I still wonder what, in Gurps terms, happened to child me.
I'm clumsy, so have fallen many many times in my life, but I've never again had the wind knocked out or whatever occurred on that day.

Stunned is a logical result from a critical failure involving a fall.

Sitting still was a conscious choice, not a physical necessity other than that whole inability to breathe part. I'm not being fully serious in this question as I get that it would be a hassle to actually play and/or roll for. I was just curious if it could more than very loosely fit anything official.
