10 seconds is a little spicier for combat abilities, as it gives you the specter of the ability running down if the combat is long, but often one activation is enough for the whole fight. One minute is effective infinity in combat time, or mostly "one action" when you're in narrative time where the actions players declare are much longer and broader.)
Re the 1/10/60 triad of options, it seems like it's 1 for attacking (regardless of modifier?), but when you have something like DR with one of Limited Use, Costs Fatigue, Unreliable or Require Will Roll (or some combination of these 4) how would we know the right seconds?
