The boon / chronicle for Death's Heretic book -- lasts 1 round or infinity?

[outshyn]

The boon has no text about a time limitation. It reads:

Quote:

As an immediate action, you gain a +2 insight bonus to AC against one creature.

Having text about using it as an immediate action sorta implies to me that you use it as a one-time boost when an attack is incoming. However, that's me reading into it. There is no actual text to suggest that. There is no time limit. So is it correct to allow it to work like Dodge? You declare it against an enemy and just have it until the enemy is defeated?

[Nefreet]

Since the Tales Boons are super minor, I'd say it's a one-and-done.

[CanisDirus]

Nefreet is correct - unless otherwise noted, Tales boons are one-use. The more recent ones (from when Tales boons covered multiple books on the same sheet) specify that some last longer / can be made permanent.

[outshyn]

I may have worded it poorly. By "one time boost" I meant one attack. It applies to the incoming swing of a weapon, no more. Right? It's not "one combat encounter" of however many rounds, and it's not "one enemy" until defeated.

Right?

[Drahliana Moonrunner]

Even if it was permanent it's only against THAT ONE creature. Once it's down, the boon has been expended.

So did we.

Have it last for the duration of the encounter, which is likely the remaining "duration" of the target creature, too.
