Emergency Beacon usage (minor spoilers)


Iron Gods

Scarab Sages

My players recently found the emergency beacon (timeworn) in book 1, but I'm a little confused on its usage. It mentions that use is 1 charge and it can hold up to 30 but it fails to mention the duration of each charge.

Emergency Beacon

The only interval it really calls out is that "every 6 seconds" flash, but I am hesitant to say an emergency beacon like that only lasts 30 rounds at most. I'm leaning towards calling each charge an hour, or maybe a day. Can't find anything in the errata.

Thoughts?

The Exchange

I kind of thought once it was on, it was on and lasted relatively forever or until turned off. I agree though, maybe 1 charge/day would be good. I can understand a fully charged one being good for 1 month of Beacon-ing.
