Summon Monster Duration

[Rystil Arden]

Ask not about the implicit weirdness in the cyclic combat system. Merely accept it and move on.

"A full-round action requires an entire round to complete."

"Each round represents 6 seconds in the game world."

But since a CdG cannot be interrupted by killing the CdG performer later in that round, similarly, then, the AC's actions would not be interrupted by its immediate unsummons after said actions.

Considering that there was an extensive errata for the XPH that did not remove the line, I'm inclined to disagree with this as an explanation.

I guess that means that the fact that Expansion's duration is listed as 1 min/level, but its errataed augmentation reads: "3. If you spend 2 additional power points, this power’s duration is 10 minutes per level rather than 1 round per level" is not a mistake either, then?
Or the fact that either the errataed Blue in the monster section is short one feat (if Psionic Dodge is a racial bonus feat, which isn't mentioned in the "Blues as characters" section) or it has a feat which it does not qualify for (if Psionic Dodge is a bonus feat from its psion levels, in which case it would need the Dodge feat)?

By the rules as written, yes, it does (unfortunately). Anything else is a houserule, and I will certainly accept it if you were to tell me you were houseruling it--I houserule all the time.

Isn't it a lot more likely that there are mistakes that haven't been caught/errataed?

Edit - After all, as far as I know, errata is made mostly according to the mistakes that the readers of the book notice, not by somebody hired to look for mistakes that need errata.

Right. And then try to explain how two people, nevermind 10 or 100, can all take turns on performing actions each taking 6 seconds, and have it all fit within 6 seconds. When you answer that one, grasshopper, then you will have become the master.

Time is not real. It is merely an illusion meant to hide you from the truth.

And the Will save is too high for you to make it. Yes, even the person who has taken 20 classes all with good Will saves, a 36 Wisdom, and a cloak of resistance +5. Now shoo!

Lunchtime, doubly so.
