There is a major problem with Stun. It's much too powerful. Looking over some very old discussion on it, I see that several people proposed changing the duration of Stun from "end of your next turn" to "beginning of your next turn". Why? Simple, those units are dead if, while Stunned, they are hit with any spell or SAI that requires them to roll a result or die. At least if they are killed, and they have to save against burial, they can do that. (All spells and effects expire when a unit is placed in the DUA).

In any case, it appears that despite this discussion overwhelmingly being in favor of changing the duration, Will was against it, so it didn't change. I propose changing it now.

Okay with me to change its duration.

How many more rules are under consideration for changing? It seems you keep throwing more monkey wrenches into my project all the time.

In response to:

Perhaps leave the duration.....but add a die becomes unstunned when targeted.

In that case, you are really changing Stun to be more like Blue Dragon breath. Blue Dragon breath doesn't allow an army to roll anything except saves. If you mean remove the effect of Stun as soon as it has to roll, then you completely kill the SAI. Remember, Stun is a melee attack SAI. So the first thing that will happen is that the army with stunned units will have to roll saves vs. melee damage.

stun proposal:
leave the duration.....but add a unit becomes unstunned when targeted
ONLY WHEN TARGETED (you could even target your own unit to unstun it)
not during avoidance rolls....like melee,save rolls ect...

at first this may seem ridiculous....
but a stunned cantrip magician would not be able to help cast spells to unstun

another concept for the stun duration:

the duration of stun could be assigned to the beginning of the stunned units turn

[Netherworlder]

How about to the end of the current player's turn? If you making it depend on the start or end of the acting or affected player's turn then it still seems overpowered. Let's say I am player 2 in a 4-player game. I stun one of player 1's units, until the start of my next turn. That unit has to survive player 3 and player 4's turn, pretty unlikely, especially against a blue magic army who would immediately cast a Lightning Bolt on it since it would have no chance of saving.

Dropping Stun at the end of the acting player's turn removes this possibility. If I Stun you, I should reap the benefits, no one else.

the duration of stun could be assigned to the beginning of the stunned units turn
yes in a multiplayer game...the stunned die would be at risk
but if the preceding player stuns your unit ...
the unit becomes unstunned quickly...
so with this concept it allows strategy,for long and short stuns
