Rod of interminable hexes - how does it work?


Rules Questions


2 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

Specifically, how does it interact with a hex that you can use for x number of rounds/minutes/hours per day that do not need to be consecutive?

Does a single use of the rod extend each unit of time of the hex I use?
or
Do I decide each time I use the hex how many units of time I use, and the rod doubles that duration?
or
Does it double the duration of the minimum time unit each time I use the hex with the rod?

Or to make it simpler: say I activate the flight hex with the rod of interminable hexes. I'm 6th level and normally have 6 minutes of flight. How many minutes of flight do I get if I use the rod with the hex, and use half of my daily flight limit?


Marked this for FAQ. Seems weird that this sort of thing wasn't foreseen...

Reading the rod, my suggestion for now is they you activate the hex with the rod, and two minutes from now you have "five minutes" left and get to decide whether to stop flying or get another two minutes (and have "four minutes" left). In two minutes you would get the decision again to spend a minute for two, but once you stop flying you would lose the benefit of that use of the rod (obviously).

Flight hex duration is spent in 1 minute increments, I would consider each increment as a separate activation (but without the need to spend an action), so each charge of the rod would double the duration of a single increment.

To make an example: you activate the flight hex using the rod: the fist increment of the hex is 2 minutes instead of one and it will spend only 1 minute of flight time, when the two minutes end you have to decide if you want to maintain the hex or not, but unless you spend further charges from the rod and a standard action, the next increments will last 1 minute, not two.
