What it does:

• *edited* Now checks for cross-tier effects and does not trigger on them.
• Adds a new effect called 'alertness' than can increase your saves.
• Each turn, while under the influence of a detrimental effect, you will gain 5 save against that effect type (physical, mental, magical).

So if you get stunned for 5 turn, then each turn you will gain +5 physical save, for a total of +25 physical save. The effect last roughly 6 turns. That means the longer an actor is stunned, the harder it will be to stun it again, and if you get stunned again it will probably have a shorter duration.

*note* that if you want to add this to the main game, then you will have to add a check for the effect source, and make sure that the actor is not putting some weak effects on himself to boost saves. As far as I can tell this would require to include src=self every time you call target:setEffect(). Some talents already pass the source of the effect (like bleeding edge) other don't do this (for example stunning blow).
