Description
Duration determines the maximum period of time that the Attribute’s effect will influence a target (requires no concentration to maintain after it is activated). Most Attributes indicate in their descriptions how long it operates normally; adding the Duration Enhancement will increase this time. Duration does not usually apply when using the Attribute when affecting themselves (with the exception of the Mimic Attribute), since the character can simply reactivate the Attribute at will. At the end of an Attribute’s Duration, its effects will cease. In circumstances where an Attribute’s effects should be permanent, 10 assignments of Duration can be applied with GM permission (10 assignments = 1,000 years, which can be considered permanent). **DURATION AND WEAPONS** If Duration is applied to the Weapon Attribute, it is usually assigned in conjunction with the Area Enhancement. This means the Weapon attack remains active within the affected area for a prolonged period. **Examples** of this type of attack include chemical clouds, sheets of fire, electrical charges, or freezing vapours. If someone enters the Area while the Duration is still ongoing, they suffer damage or other effects as if they have been struck by the attack and will continue to suffer the effects each round until they leave the vicinity. The starting time for Duration when assigned to Weapons is different than for other Attributes as noted.
