[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5632026, member: 71571"] The Summoning Keyword's duration limit is ALSO in those same books. It's not clear at all. 'Clear' means that it's explicit, or that it's absolutely implicit in terms of replacement. 'half your bloodied value' can easily replace, or be replaced by, 'your surge value' and create an exception in either case. 'Your Level + 4' can easily replace 'Your attack stats'. But nothing in the summons can replace 'until the end of the encounter.' There's nothing there that even refers to it. Do you not understand the difference? It isn't enough to say 'This ends when A, B, or C' because A, B, or C don't replace D, because D has nothing to do with A, B, or C. In other words, if you want the power to end at end of encounter, you need text that says it can do so... and that text simply. Does. Not. Exist. Repeating 'But this thing over here says powers can do that!' isn't rules text, any more than previous 'interpretations' of existing rules that managed to be absolutely wrong have been rules text.
