To be good at combat, you must be able to survive an encounter with anything; Nuclear Operatives, Wizards, Assistants and such. While some may say that the best defense is a robust offense (which can be true in some cases), knowing how to protect yourself is a vital skill needed to be [[robust]]. | To be good at combat, you must be able to survive an encounter with anything; Nuclear Operatives, Wizards, Assistants and such.

Having the ability to stun at a moment's notice will protect you from getting robusted quite often (as long as you don't get stunned first). | Having the ability to stun at a moment's notice will protect you from getting robusted quite often (as long as you don't get stunned first). | ||
=== Three kinds of stuns === | |||
Humans can get stunned in three different ways. The most common one is 'Weaken'. It causes you to fall and makes you unable to do anything except talking. 'Stun' is all the same, except you don't fall down. Paralysis knocks you out completely, you can't even talk or hear what's happening. | |||
You can also be sleeping, which is the same as paralysis, but caused and treated by different things. | |||
