Hello world! I've been arguing with my DM about the number of Saving Throws that this spell - Oppresive Boredom- allows. I agree with him that the text is a bit unclear and I also know and understand about the existance of Rule 0.
My position is that, similar to Terrible Remorse spell, makes no sense for the target to make a Saving Throw when the spell is cast upon her, and another when her turn starts, because in this case, the target would benefit from 2 Saving Throws to avoid the ill-effect of the first turn of the spell. Also my argumentation follows that specific spells such as Hold Person or Hideous Laughter are explicit about allowing another Saving Throw in the turn of the target, usually in the form of a full-round action, but Oppresive Boredom does not state anything similar to this.
I have been unable to find any explicit ruling about this specific other than the similarity I've found in Ultimate Magic FAQ regarding Terrible Remorse. Is there anything out there?
