What constitutes an Ongoing Condition?


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court

So here are listed a number of conditions, and while they all seem to have the ability to persist, I don't think they all count as ongoing conditions. Specifically, Shake It Off from the Battle Herald and Live To Tell the Tale from Pathfinder Chronicler give the ability to attempt a new save on an "ongoing condition."

Parsing the list, here are what I think would be ongoing conditions, if you garnered the effect through failing a saving throw:

Bleed
Blinded
Confused
Cowering
Dazed
Dazzled
Deafened
Energy Drained
Entangled
Exhausted
Fascinated
Fatigued
Frightened
Helpless
Nauseated
Panicked
Paralyzed
Petrified
Shaken
Sickened
Staggered
Stunned
Unconscious(?)

Are there any on this list that don't belong? Did I remove one that should have stayed? What about cursed, as per Bestow Curse. Could you give someone a new saving throw to no longer be cursed?


If the condition last from round to round that would count as ongoing. By condition I think they mean status affect, all of which are defined in the glossary. This might be good question to ask James Jacobs about though until we can get an answer from the rules team..
