duration rules q

Where is the text that says when durations of things ends?

I know things end at the beginning of the next turn of the originator's initiative.

example - you cast a 1 end duration spell, or use a 1 end class feature. It ends at the beginning of your next turn.

found the little bastard....

Effects that last a certain number of rounds end just before the same initiative count that they began on.

I always play the random initiative roll each round rules - just because it takes the sequencing out of combat.  It makes these kinds of spell effects a bit of a chore to manage.  It's much more fun this way though.

interesting... that seems to give the higher initiative mods even more of a chance of avoiding going last.

[Roxoff]

Yeah, I suppose it does.  Anyone can roll a '1' though.  We've been playing Hackmaster recently, though, and the re-roll per round rules are quite refreshing after that game system where you can wait until the fight is almost over before you get your first go...

everyone has the same chance of a 1, but with a higher initiative bonus each round, your chances of getting higher are even better
