Is it a standard action to activate? Does it require a standard action every round to maintain, or can you maintain it with a swift action or something? I can never figure out the relation between SU abilities and actions.
I've been playing it so it's a standard action to use, and you have to use it every round to maintain it, but it's such a lackluster use of actions every round for it's limited range, so I'm literally only doing it when I don't want to waste spells or feel like I can't be productive with the spells I have left and don't want to waste wand charges.
Supernatural abilities take a standard action unless they say otherwise.
"At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of despair for a number of rounds per day equal to your wizard level. Enemies within this aura take a –2 penalty on ability checks, attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, and skill checks. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. This is a mind-affecting effect."
It takes a standard action to turn on, but it stays on until you turn it off or it hits your limit (rounds equal to your wizard level).
