Duration for Advantages
I was wondering if I'm just missing something or if this covers all Advantages as it seems a bit out of whack.
Characters page 101, Quote:
So I'm a little confused... Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Re: Duration for Advantages
it only applies to such advantages if you on modifiers where duration matter on it. otherwise this is no 10 second limitation on it.

Re: Duration for Advantages
Could you clarify a little more? I understand that it applies to some advantages but where does it state which and maybe a page reference so I can share with my gaming group?

Re: Duration for Advantages
If you want to apply a range/area/duration/whatever-related enhancement to a trait which doesn't normally have a range/area/duration/whatever, use the range/area/duration listed there. However, the traits to which the rule might potentially apply aren't explicitly listed. The rule is there for when you stumble over an odd case.

If Cost Fatigue Did not specified it's own duration (1 minute) then you would fall back to that 'default' 1 second' between Fatigue maintenance when you added it to Flight. Now of the top of me head I can not think which modifier would actually call for this. |

Re: Duration for Advantages
I think Uncontrollable might be the only enhancement or limitation in Basic you might need a duration for that doesn't specify one. I suppose it might apply if you did something like stretch Cyclic to advantages (each cycle it activates for the default duration). It's just there to catch the undefined cases.
