Length of Racial and Gift Invis/Darkness on Cooldown
I have a question about the darkness and invisibility racial abilities.
Before the cooldown was in place, you had one round per character level of the spell-like effect per rest.
Now, according to the innate ability token, you only have three rounds of the ability regardless of character level. Is the token correct, or do you actually still get rounds per level? If it is only 3 rounds, is this intentional? Because if so, that is much less useful and definitely not worth a .5 ECL hit and gift slot.
Thanks!
EDIT, I realized I could test this on an old medium-level character and it does seem to last much longer than 3 rounds at least as a racial ability, even though the innate token also reads "Invisibility (3)"
I am still wondering if it can be confirmed if this is the case if you take an ECL gift of darkness or invis. at start as I'm going to remake a new character if you only get 3 rounds regardless of level.

The duration calculation has not changed.

Alright, thank you. The (3) is just a bit alarming but I assume that's a quirk not worth bothering with.
One follow up question since you're reading, does this affect classes (notably assassin) who also have invis and darkness-- are the racial/gift and class cooldowns shared or separate? Thanks again.

Yes, the (3) is just the default item property, and is ignored by the script.
The cooldown for racial / gift invisibility is separate from that used by the Assassin spell-like feat.

Weird, the darkness from my drow racial is only 4 minutes cooldown.
Re: Length of Racial and Gift Invis/Darkness on Cooldown
The different racial /gift spells have different cool downs.
