He should be defense 3, the 5 without dodge and then the -2 for being stunned. Adding 1 to his base defense makes it 4+6 dodge and User(+10), Stunned (-2), Dodge Focus 2(+2). Adding a rank of dodge has the exact same results.

I think what it's doing is subtracting the -2 for stunned before figuring out how much of the defense is the dodge bonus, thus making the defense one too high.

This is similar to my earlier 2E observation about the 'Helpless' condition:

Therefore, I believe it [the Play Aid Sheet] should read:

Helpless: No dodge bonus, -5 to Defense and an additional -4 to DEF from adjacent melee attacks.

Additionally, I went to the Adjust Tab and clicked upon the Helpless condition and it simply removed all the additional bonus I had purchased for DEF on the Abilities Tab instead of just the Dodge Bonus.

As stated above, to be in accordance with the Green Ronin Errata it should also be subtracting 5 from the base DEF value of 10.
