Reference summary · Core rule · Rules Tome 2.0.8 § 107
Ready, spent, and stunned
Orientation records whether a card can pay spend costs or perform actions.
How it works
Rule explanation
Ready cards are upright, spent cards are turned 90 degrees, and stunned cards are turned 180 degrees. A stunned card is also spent. Stunned characters cannot perform actions; stunned items cannot provide printed actions, although their modifiers and other effects remain.

Example
During the Ready phase a stunned character becomes spent, while a spent character becomes ready.
Watch for this
Common mistake
Readying a stunned card makes it ready; unstunning it only changes it from stunned to spent.
