Hey folks,
A cleric with the Madness Domain gets Aura of Madness at eighth level. How does that work in relation to actions?
You get it a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. Got it.
Is it a move action to activate the aura? Is it a standard action? Is it a no action? I just don't know, and it doesn't seem to say.
In addition, if it is a move action or standard action does that mean it is a move or standard action every round it's up, or just for the initial round, assuming it's maintained for few rounds.
If it requires a new action every round (or even if it doesn't) does it allow for a saving throw each round, or only the first round in which it is activated?
So, three questions really:
1. What type of action is activating an Aura of Madness?
2. Does it require an action every round to maintain it, assuming it takes an action in the first place to activate it?
3. Does Aura of Madness allow a saving throw every round it is active, or just the first round it is initiated?

Using a Sp or Su ability is a Standard Action unless otherwise stated.
It is a Free Action to maintain an aura. It is a Free Action to cancel an aura.
I would only allow for saves when the aura attempts to apply the confusion status (e.g. initial round, successive rounds for those who succeeded on the save, and when the confusion runs out -- for reapplication).
I see. It's written on the "Actions in Combat" table. I should have checked that before posting.
Thank you.
Unless otherwise noted, using a domain power is a standard action.
There's also this entry in the Domains section of the Cleric Class description.
