Greetings -n- Salutations,

Recently my group was ambushed at a bar. The only weapon available to them
was a taser. While running the combat a question came up. Is the modifier
to target numbers for being shocked cumulative, or is it the number of
rounds the part that adds up?

.:Example:.
The attacker hits the target with a taser, all appropriate rolls are made
and the target is "shocked" for 4 rounds at +2. Since the taser is a
semi-auto the attacker fires another round. This time the target is
shocked for 3 rounds at +2. Does this mean that the target is at +4 for 3
rounds and +2 for the last round, or does this mean that the target's
target numbers are at +2 for 4+3=7 rounds?

confused,
Travis "Aristotle" Heldibridle.
