-The most noticeable effect of stunning on [[you]] is that whenever you try to choose a direction&mdash;to move, [[firing|fire]], [[zap]], [[apply]] some tools, et cetera&mdash;a random direction will be selected instead.  If you press a movement key you will always attempt to move, even if the direction attempted is blocked, say by a wall.  You will not be prompted for confirmation before attacking a [[peaceful]] or tame monster on an adjacent square, so as long as you are stunned there is a risk of accidentally angering peaceful monsters or [[Tameness#Abuse|abusing]] pets.
