Stonelord "Earth's Strength" power

[0-hr]

The Stonelord (pg. 81, Complete Warrior) can get an ability like this:

Earth's Strength(sp)

... grants herself a boost to her Strength score as if she were affected by a bulls' strength spell for 1 hour.

But bull's strength does not normally last one hour!

Is this an editing error, or is this ability really supposed to have a super long duration (by 3.5 standards anyway)?

So? This ability does. It's quite clear about it. I'm not seeing any ambiguity.

True, but the ability has other lilmitations, unlike the spell. From memory (which may be wrong ): Self only, in touch with the ground (means natural ground, maybe worked cavern floors, builing floors etc will not allow the ability), limited uses per day etc. Plus the pre-reqs of the PrC class itself.

Other then then number of spells the caster can/will cast Bull's Strenght, there are no such limitations. It is more versatile for a shorter period.
