Stop a player from being stunned again and again without a chance to act

A boss or a trap that stuns on every hit can lock a player in place from the first blow to the last, which is the worst feeling in a fight. This entry shows how to make each stun weaker than the one before and when the player counts as recovered.

Why this works

A player can only enjoy a fight in which they get to act. Letting each stun count for less than the last keeps the danger real but guarantees real moments of control, and a long quiet spell earns a fresh start, so rest is rewarded.

When not to use it

Skip it in games where being caught is meant to be final, such as a horror chase or a one-life trap room, and in short fights with no repeats. There a single long stun is the design. Warn the player clearly instead.
