Reducing Duration below 1 minute
I'm trying to create abilities that have limited uses and durations below 1 minute per use. For instance,
Altered Time Rate 1, limited to 5 times per day with only 5 seconds of duration per use. This is still a very potent ability, but the limitation of 5 seconds instead of 1 minute per use is dramatically limiting. HOW DO I DO THIS? Maximum duration forces a 5 minute cool down after use, I don't want that. There is no duration reducing modifier. What values should I use for the modifier? Help? |

Re: Reducing Duration below 1 minute
the way I did it was to combine 1 minute limitation with reduced duration (forgot which book it's from but it's the one that goes down to 1/60th.) That would give you durations as short as 1 second.

Its' a feature. A maximum duration with no cooldown between uses isn't a limitation and so shouldn't be worth anything. |

Re: Reducing Duration below 1 minute
Reduced Duration plus Limited Use sounds like it would do it.

Re: Reducing Duration below 1 minute
Thank you! I think I looked in almost every book I had except psionic powers. This has been frustrating me for ages. Thank you!
