Why would you ever choose the Magic Attack Non-Lethal over Lightning ?

Because you have to do lethal damage to trigger Stun first.

Because you're wearing a body cam and your chief REALLY doesn't want you on the nightly news again. ..also, what Swordbreaker said.

1. "Stun" doesn't get net hits added, but rather does a flat amount based on the quality.

2. "Stun" must be activated as a quality.

3. You still deal the lethal damage. Its an attack first and foremost. That it can also affect strain is just a show of how powerful it is.

So if I'm trying to actually take someone down non-lethally, I wouldn't use Lightening, as it would be just as likely to kill them. The real question is why use Lightning when you could use Fire. The goal is to -not- mix damage across Wound/Strain tracks.

I misread Stun vs Stun Damage. Makes much more sense. Thank you!
