[bug/gameplay] Evade while stunned

from Demigod Forums

Rook "evaded" damage from my (torchbearer) Ice Rain, while he was stunned/frozen by my frost wave ability. Is this an error, or should the "evade" ability function while the demigod is stunned/otherwise unable to move?

Wow, this is a really good catch.  In my opinion he definately should NOT be able to evade while stunned/frozen.

Well, it's a realism Vs gameplay thing.

While, obviously,  you can't dodge while stuck in a block of ice, "evade" is mechanically just a defensive bonus and it's not as if you lose the effect of armour while stunned. On the other hand, perhaps stunning qualifies as a counter to a high evade rating. That's up to GPG/Stardock to decide (and us in the beta :grin: ). Unless it's already decided and it's just a bug, of course.

Well, technically, items that give the dodge bonus work perpetually, even while stunned or frozen. I'd imagine that the Hopla suit would have the TB's projectiles bounce off. But that's just me. It's up to the big guys to decide.

I think this would be another way to customize stuns beyond, it's a stun!

How diffrent stuns could work diffrently:

  • TB: Full lock down no evades, it's a piece of ice, if you can't hit that you suck at aiming...
  • Rook: Normal/half evade bonus, you dancing around drunknely, you could evade based off reflexes
  • Unclean: You get unclean's evade, because he's the one grappling/eating you, you can avoid shots because he pulls you out of the way so he can eat all of you... he's greedy!
