    Default [4e] Speaking while Stunned

    The Stunned condition in D&D 4e states that a character can't take actions. Does this include speaking? (AFAIK, speaking is still a free action, therefore an action)

    Given what "stunned" means in a dictionary, a stunned character shouldn't be able to speak. That said, there is no official rule for this either way.

    technically this is correct as speaking is a free action

    Warforged: Fine, fine. I'll go burn down the church instead. I bet the screams of the monks will carry farther than the children's anyway, judging on their singing capacity.

    Paladin: I've got a better idea. You shut up and we'll send the rogue around back >.<

    The rule used to specify you could still take free actions, but an update did away with that. Free actions (like speaking) are clearly out.
