Stats for a taser?
Mal_Luck:
The consequences being stuff like Stunned and Tazed?
Police issue X26 Taser - Weapon:2, armor counts double against. All consequences caused by this weapon is cleared after the scene, no matter how severe.

Personally, I'd call it weapon:0, MAAAAYBE weapon:1, but you can't take consequences beyond Mild. If you'd need to and cannot, you're taken out instead.
This might seem severe, but anyone packing a taser isn't intending to kill, and they've only got one shot ready for most models.
KOFFEYKID:
I dont see why it cant deal stress, since stress isn't permanent to begin with. Physical stress is described as bruises, cuts, scrapes, that sort of thing. Nothing serious. I think it should deal 2 points of physical stress, enough to take out people unless they are willing to take consequences. I think however, that the consequences should end at the end of a scene, no matter how serious they be.

Oooh, I like this version. Tasers wear off quick, but they're also really likely to take someone the hell out. This combines those facts in a simple and coherent fashion. Kudos.

Exactly. Makes a great way to punctuate a scene dramatically for someone who's just dealt with some minor (or major) scuffle, too.
So, the beast was down. I still didn't really know what it was, but I was standing and it wasn't. Good enough for me. I turned to leave, and a scared cop -- some rookie, or maybe she's just one of those girls that never seems to age -- had something leveled at my chest.
Crap. A taser. Can my life get any more awesome? I raise my hand and open my mouth, but I don't even really remember what I was going to say. Y'see, that's when she jerked and pulled the trigger.
Yeah. Down I went.
