Effects that don't list a duration!

[Oryan77]

In 3e, I run across rules that will cause a person to be shaken, panicked, dazed, etc etc, but it doesn't list a duration for how long the effect lasts.

For example, in Heroes of Horror, on page 66, an evil taint effect called Jittery says that a person will become panicked if hit while flat-footed. But no duration is given.

In situations like this, are we to assume that it is for only one round or what?

Up to the DM I would think. Fit it to whats going on.

I believe jittery lasts until the end of combat. Things like taint tends to be DM content anyway, so it's more like a suggested effect than anything else.
