RE: [DL] Vigor Roll Question

["Joe Frankovitch" <slvrdrgn@larp.com>]

As I understand it (and the way I do it in my campaign).

The intitial stun roll TN is based on the wound you just took.  If you
become stunned, the roll to become unstunned is based on your highest
wound.  And yes, wound penalties apply to all rolls, even vigor rolls.

So, in your example, the TN to avoid stun on the first 1 wound is 5.
The TN to avoid stun on the second 1 wound is also 5, with a -1 penalty
because of the previous wound.  However, should the second wound stun
him, the TN to get un-stunned is a 7 (2 wounds in a location).

I'm not sure if that is how it was officially intended, but it works for
us.

On a side note, my posse found early on that the biggest hindrance to
combat speed was making stun checks, so we modified the system thus: You
only need to make a stun roll when a hit puts you at 3 or greater wounds
in an area.  Except the head.  Any hit to the head still rattles ya as
normal.

A semi-related question, if the second TN is 5, is it at -1 penalty for
the 
existing wound? (net of TN of 6  )
And if Rusty fails the check and is stunned, the TN is 7 (for highest
wound 
level).  Is that at -2 wound penalry (net TN of 9)
