Duration of spells
Just wondering if I am correct but if I look at a spells duration and it says 1 turn/ level does that mean at level 30 it will last 180 seconds?

Re: Duration of spells
There's three units of time spells use in their descriptions: Rounds, turns, and hours. A round is 6 seconds, a turn is 10 rounds/1 minute, and an hour is an ingame hour, or 6 minutes. So something that lasts turns/level would, at caster level 30, last 30 minutes.

Ok yeah thats what I was thinking, so aura of vitality is 1 round per level so it would last 180 seconds at 30.Baron Saturday wrote: ↑Fri Sep 28, 2018 9:10 pmThere's three units of time spells use in their descriptions: Rounds, turns, and hours.

Thanks man.

And it's 3 rounds/level with Greater Transmutation Focus or 1 Turn/Level with Epic Transmutation Focus if you didn't know.

Re: Duration of spells
Does it stack with animal buff spells?

Re: Duration of spells
One more question about Duration, does Epic Spell Focus: Transmutation extend the length of transmutation spells, and if so would it stack with Extend spell?
Re: Duration of spells
Transmutation foci have no effect on the duration of spells (except Aura of Vitality, which Regionals mentioned). Extend'll just do its thing.
May you live in interesting times.

Re: Duration of spells
Yeah, a few spells get some damage/duration buffs, courtesy of transmutation foci. Aura of Vitality's the only one that gets a duration increase, mind (3 rounds/level with Greater Transmutation Focus. With Epic Transmutation, duration increases to turns/level).
The Spell Changes page on the wiki'll help out. Just search for 'Transmutation,' and it'll point you in the direction of changes.
