This is perfectly fine when there is more than one Prep Req limited ability.

- Prep Required does affect duration of activation, like so many similar Limitations. It doesn't have its own rule (like all those other relatives do), and so the base Advantage duration in the ability is covered by the B112 text, for lack of any more specific value.

I presume you mean B101?

- Prep Required includes a duration limit, like Limited Use -- say, one minute, as that's what Limited Use says. This assumption is more harmonious with existing similar modifiers, but it's not official (AFAIK).

And there's ye olde "make up the duration you feel works best for your game".

Attacks are a little different.

Prep Req is actively bad for attacks. For attack abilities I'd go with other Limitations like Limited Use (Reloadable).
For Afflictions, Prep Req wouldn't limit how long the Affliction lasted, but you wouldn't be able to Afflict anyone else until you prepped another use of the ability.
