Temporal Skill talent
« on: April 29, 2012, 04:28:25 PM »
Hello,

I bumped into this question: Does temporal skill talent double the duration of base spell or does it also affect scaling?
For example if you cast scaled Jolts spell at target. You scaled 3 rnd stun to your target. With temporal Skill (jolts) is it 2 round stun or 6 round stun. Or do you count it as base round x 2 + scaled option?

Other information: Jolts has base stun effect of 1 round. also Temporal skill doubles duration of one spell.

and also, jolts is magical effect on target, according to rules its active magic which can be dispelled by dispel magic if i'm right? (Kinda obvious but still)

The Temporal Skill talent affects duration of base and any scaling.

Jolts spell will have a base duration of 2 rounds in HARP Fantasy with a scaling option to increase it to 5 rounds. With Temporal Skill, those become 4 rounds or 10 rounds.

Yes, it can be dispelled.

Best wishes,
Nicholas
