in Descent 1e, Master/named monsters could not get conditions like stun. Is it the same in 2e? I can find no reference anywhere that it is, but thought to ask.

I have seen no rule to that effect.

In first edition, named monsters (not masters) were immune to stun (nothing else). There was just a special rule specifically for stun, no general immunity rule.

Second edition has no such rule, though lieutenants can resist some conditions that other monsters cannot due to the fact that they have attributes (other monsters automatically fail all attribute tests, and thus, for example, cannot recover from poison).

Also you have to consider some abilities specifically target things like "Minions" or "Monster Groups" which might exclude Masters, Lieutenants, etc.

Thank you all for the replies. Couldnt find any rules that said anything of the sort but thought to double check with the community
