[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5075949, member: 2011"] It doesn't matter if you separate it out or not. "while you are bloodied, you gain regeneration 2" does not explicitly mean: "until you are no longer bloodied, you gain regeneration 2". The second sentences does not in any way give us a duration at all. It does not give us "one round", it does not give us "until you are no longer bloodied", it does not give us "until the end of the encounter". The only duration we have in the effect is the first sentence. But, both "one round" and "until you are no longer bloodied" are not really reasonable durations, especially considering that the shifter might not get regeneration the next round if healed. The power is not so strong that super short durations should be the norm. "until the end of the encounter", however, is a reasonable duration considering that it is only while bloodied. So, a literal reading of the word "while" combined with the other portion of the effect lasting until the end of the encounter seems the most reasonable and I also think it is what is used at most tables (we use it for the shifter in our group as well).
