Summary0000408: Stunned creatures will still block with a shield
DescriptionWhile testing combat in the arena, in the logs I noticed that a stunned dwarf will still block attacks when a shield is equipped.
Steps To ReproduceWait for a creature with a shield to get stunned, and they should continue to block attacks.
Additional InformationDwarf was wearing full adamantine at the time.
Goblins where wielding iron shortswords.

This may or may not be a bug, I am unsure exactly how "stunned" is interpreted here.

Yeah, this is expected behavior as far as I know. "Stunned" doesn't mean "unconscious," it's more like "off balance" (in both the mental and physical sense).

In a mechanical sense I think "stunned" means "can't attack" (like in D&D) and possibly "can't move," bit it doesn't mean "defenseless."

Furthermore, the shield still covers the body. Even if the holder is rendered unconceous.

All logical points, but I wanted a second opinion.

Footkerchief, you may label this complete if you wish.
