{{Name}} is a [[Mutations#Mental Mutations|mental mutation]] that allows the player to remotely create a shockwave in a nearby area, stunning and dealing damage to anything caught within.


This mutation grants the "Stunning Force", activated ability, which when used, will fire a projectile at a selected tile within 8 tiles of the player, creating a shockwave with an area of 7x7 tiles. This projectile is not perfectly accurate and can deviate from it's target slightly. Additionally, while it can only be fired at a visible tile, it ignores walls and other obstacles and can travel through them so long as the player can see tiles on the other side.

The shockwave itself deals mutation level based concussion damage to anything caught within it's radius. This damage can be dealt up to 3 times per target and ignores {{AV}}[[AV]]. The shockwave will also push creatures and other objects away from it's center, with mutation level and weight being factors in how far an object gets pushed; heavier objects will be pushed less, while a higher mutation level will cause objects to be pushed further. Finally, creatures caught inside will be [[stunned]] for 3 turns, during which time they are unable to perform any actions and have their {{DV}}[[DV]] set to 0.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Effects|class=Stun}} While stunned, a creature has a chance each turn to make a [[Toughness]] [[save]] to end the stun early.
