Stun Relief Spell - How do you guys play this?

[Rainbird]

Hello All - I've been asked by a player if they can cast Stun Relief spells on PCs prior to going into combat - basically buffing them for combat. Certain herbs allow PCs to shake off the 1st stun effects and I wondered if I've been too strict with this type of spell.

General question - how do people play this?

Thanks - Rainbird

I don't see them as buff spells so I wouldn't allow casting them ahead of time. They are instantaneous and subconscious spells so they can be casts quickly in combat as needed though even by the stunned character.

IIRC the descriptions all reference removing or negating stun; you can't remove or negate something before it's acting upon you.

Thanks for the replies.

As I think about it a bit more, there could always be a magic item - helm, armor, ring, whatever... that automatically and immediately negates 'x' round(s) of stun. That would be a pricey object to have.

Not that expensive might be a daily item with "Stun relief I" for critical situatiuons.

I'm going with the magic item approach for non spell user stun relief. With the odd rare herb acting as a simulant to negate 1 or 2 rnd(s) of stun over a 10min (or so) period.
