That's what I want.
I've an empath that I decided to roll up solely for the purpose of determining how harsh empathic shock is, and if it lessen's in time... what you can do while under the effects of shock, how long it takes to lessen it (if it does) etc.
Anyone already know all this so I can just kill off this character already? <G>

Well, I guess I was just hoping to find out if the shock received ever went down in severity, like, to the point that you eventually could hunt. A 12 minute stun that leaves you prone for that long is totally unrealistic if you want to accomplish anything hunting (obviously), but is there a time that that stun drops down to the point that it leaves you on your feet? Or maybe even drops to under 2 minutes? Or doesn't exist at all?

<<Ok.......just out of curiosity......what would happen if an empath decided to start taking up hunting? Would they still retain the ability to heal themselves? Would they get that 12 sec. roundtime with the swing of each weapon?>>
If an empath decided to take up hunting, they would be subject to a shock stun for every swing of a weapon (I'm almost positive you continue to get stunned for each strike, although I am not sure if the time worsens or lessens or what). They would retain the ability to heal themselves, and would get whatever roundtime is accurate for their stats (in addition to the shock stun, of course).
So while it'd be cool 'cos you could heal yourself during or after hunting, getting a huge "roundtime" (from the shock stun) for every hit would make hunting pretty unproductive in my eyes. As fatal as stuns can be in combat, I don't think this is something that would work well for anyone.

I got the 12 minute stun after every swing constantly after I killed my second rat as far as I remember. I did this test about a month ago. The only change in this was the afk scripting warning I got for not being able to respond and tell how many ranks of trans I had when I got checked, since I was stunned. I thought that was kinda funny. My char was even in sleep and rest mode so there was no exp gain.
I had heard about the stun dropping in length too, but I honestly think that it is a myth. I didn't have the patience to test it more than a few days so I guess it is still a possibility.
