Artificer: When does Regeneration Infusion end?

[1of3]

Hi.

When is Regeneration Infusion (Level 6 utility) supposed to end? It doesn't say.

Most other beneficial effects with Sustain have a maximum duration of encounter / 5 min.

On the other hand the idea of regenerating a bloodied target might imply that it should end when the target is no longer bloodied. Otherwise it might be too powerful for a level 6.

Any ideas?

Page 278 of the Player's Handbook says you can Sustain a power for as long as 5 minutes unless stated otherwise.

EDIT: 100 HP max over 5 minutes while you continually use an action doesn't seem like that big of a deal for a Daily power to me, since Artificers are leaders and all.

5 minutes as stated above.

Otherwise it might be too powerful for a level 6.

Really? Fighters get Regeneration 2+Con modifier at second level (admittedly only for themselves), that lasts for 5 minutes (Boundless Endurance).

Paladin's effectively get DR (which is nearly as effective as regeneration) equal to their Wisdom Modifer, via Bolstering Strike at 1st level, if they keep hitting things. Self only again.

This is only Regeneration 2, and it takes a sustain minor action, now admittedly it can be used on others and that's something new, but it doesn't look particularly strong to me. Most creatures will be putting out much more damage than that per round.
