Okay, so let's say I knock a guy unconscious with sufficient application of Stunbolt. He's an average human with a Willpower of 3, so he has 10 boxes in his Stun track. I've filled that up exactly (no Physical overflow) and he's knocked out. I want to Mind Probe him, so while he's out I throw a Decrease Willpower on him as a preliminary debuff. I get 4 hits and he gets 1 for a net success of 3 hits. This drops his Willpower down to zero, meaning even after he wakes up from his Stun damage (which will take longer now), he's still going to be peacefully drooling. I proceed to Mind Probe him without resistance. Fun, eh? But a question arises: What happens to his damage taken? When I gave him a Willpower of 0, I dropped his Stun track to a maximum of 8 boxes. He had 10 filled up. Does this mean 2 points of it shifts over into Physical? Do they become "virtual" boxes that are still Stun but don't show up on the normal track (kinda like "Stun overflow")? |
