Touch of Chaos (Sp): You can imbue a target with chaos as a melee touch attack. For the next round, anytime the target rolls a d20, he must roll twice and take the less favorable result. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

Was wondering how long this power lasted, most effects would say 1 round like stunning fist.

So if someone could tell me when this power ends? Thanks.


The ability lasts for the next one round, and will wear up just before the start of your following turn. This is a semantic issue over the wording "for the next round," as opposed to "for one round." Whether it says "for the next round," "for one round," or "until the start of your next turn," the meaning is the same and have been used interchangably in several sources.

EDIT: For clarity and spelling.


Here is another example of minor wording being used interchangably:

Fighter wrote:
Bravery (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a fighter gains a +1 bonus on Will saves against fear. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels beyond 2nd.
Cad wrote:
Dirty Maneuvers (Ex): At 2nd level, a cad becomes skilled at deceiving and discomfiting his opponents. The cad gains a +1 bonus on disarm, dirty trick, and steal combat maneuver checks. The cad also gains a +1 bonus to CMD when attacked with the disarm, dirty trick, and steal combat maneuvers. These bonuses increase by 1 for every four levels after 2nd (to a maximum of +5 at 18th level). This ability replaces bravery.

Emphasis mine.

P.S. I still like the old avatar better.
