Ending Conditions

[BendBars/LiftGates]

If you use a power that says you get to end a condition affecting you/an ally, and that character is currently affected by two conditions from the same effect (save ends both), what happens?

Specifically: My ally the warlord is currently taking ongoing poison damage, which also slows him. My wizard wants to use his orb of unlucky exchange to bestow those on an enemy. Does he end both and put both on the enemy or does he choose one (either the ongoing poison damage or the slowed)?

I would say that your condition is actually one effect (afterall they are so innately tied there is only one save). So you would end the one overall effect (poisoned and slowed) and transfer that to an enemy.

By RAW I'd say that you'd only transfer one of the effects. It would be entertaining to transfer both, though.

Does the power in question refer to 'an affect that a save can end' or just an effect. If it mentions a save ending it, I'd be inclined to go with both moving together. However Keterys' assessment of RAW is right either way.

Yeah, I dashed mine off too quick, I'd want to take some time to look more closely at the definitions.

But, whatevers fun for the table is probably the right way.
