Warlock Essence Invocation Duration? RESOLVED

[Scharlata]

Hi!
It's kind of urgent.....
How long last a warlock's eldritch essence invocations? She can dismiss any invocation as a standard action, that much I read, but I can't find the normal duration if an EEI.
Please enlighten me - fast
Thanx

There is no duration beyond what's stated in the description. What are you talking about?

Eldritch essences modify the eldritch blast just as blast-shape invocations do. The warlock may mix and match one EEI and/or BSI as part of using the EB. To my knowledge the EEI/BSI have no duration beyond "instant" nor require any additional action.

I believe if a warlock were to get multiple EB per round using Quicken SLA they could choose different EEI & BSI for each EB.

Stoopid me didn't get to read the descriptions....

*ashamed*

In a pedantic sense, using the Warlock's essence and shape invocations as intended goes against the RAW. Invocations are spell-like abilities, and all spell-like abilities take a standard action to activate unless otherwise noted. I don't think the essence/shape invocations explicitly say that they're used as part of another action... thus reading it strictly implies that you use these invocations as a standard action, and then all subsequent uses of eldritch blast are modified by their stated effects. In this case, you would need a duration.

Richard Baker cleared up how they're intended to work, however.
