First, sorry for the english, I'm French.
Well, I read the hex of the witch named Tongues, and I think it is very short.
At the 20th level, is duration was 2 minutes... for a 20th level power ?
And before, at the first level, 6 seconds. Who can know when it's good to use this power to understand the good part of a conversation ?
I think it was better to increase the duration to 1 minute by level.
I hope my message was understandable.
It was quite understandable...
And you are right.. the duration is way too short in retrospect. It will be changed.. probably to 1 minute per level. Or possibly even 10 minutes per level, but I need to take a close look.

I think it should be 10 minutes/level. While tongues has its uses, it's verbal communication only. If it gave you the ability to read all languages, I think it could develop into an issue, but I don't see it creating balance issues as is.
Another vote for 10 minutes/level.

No one is blaming you French guys for the English. ;-)
Although I believe you are to blame for the Eurotunnel.

You can blame me for my president too, but it's not the place to speak about this :p
I vote for 10 minutes/level too, besides, it's not a figthing power instead many of other hex. Better duration make this hex more attractive.
but its a hex that's free action to activate and unlimited uses per day.
Unlimited uses per day ? This is not what I understand here:
A witch with this hex can understand any spoken language for a number of rounds per day...
Considering that a 17th level monk gets this ability all the time, I don't think 10m/lvl is too much.

So do 20th level celestial sorcerers.
