It just needs to be coded so that a pc can use non-lethal force but still actually break a limb.

That and once a vital body part is at 0 hp that the character is considered stunned instead of the entire hp pool. That way someone can deliver a vicious blow to your head and knock you out. Kind of like when a boxer delivers a sweet punch to the chin and the other boxer folds.

I can do all of these things. You already shouldn't be able to trip with two mangled legs. I always thought of bash as a whole body motion.

You still need your legs to throw your whole body with any degree of efficacy.

Can you mangle at mode stun though?

How many of you [REDACTED] are going to actually go around mode stunning your enemy? Syndal? Gilgon?

Can you report crimes you "saw" when you were stunned? I know I don't see any room echoes while stunned, and wouldn't see someone removing something from my beaten body when stunned.

I think this needs to be possible if you want to stop people from stunning then looting in enemy territory.

If someone made mode stun viable in PK, I'd never go mode kill, pretty much ever.

Same, unless I was playing a necro.

I think that making mode stun PK-viable would work very well. I mean, you'd obviously have the people who would always be mode stun for the lighter jail sentence, but if you made it so that taking from a stunned person was a crime too, then in the end it would just about level out to the jail sentence of a full kill.

Taking from a stunned person is already a crime now as of the last update.
