This question is about the kingdom building rules from Ultimate Campaign.

Are the modifiers from Kingdom Events permanent?

For instance, are the kingdom attribute and settlement modifiers from an event like Justice Prevails permanent?

PRD wrote:
Justice Prevails (settlement): Authorities shut down a major criminal operation or thwart a plot against the settlement. Law and Loyalty increase by 1 and Crime and Unrest decreases by 1.

What if an event is continuous, for example, Inquisition? Do the modifiers only last while the continuous event is going on, and then go away? Or are they cumulative and permanent, i.e. they increase as long as the event is continuous, but remain after it has been resolved?

PRD wrote:
Inquisition (settlement, continuous): Zealots mobilize public opinion against a particular race, religion, kingdom, behavior, or kingdom leader. Attempt a Loyalty check. If you fail, the zealots run rampant; Infamy and Law increase by 1 and Lore, Loyalty, Productivity, and Stability decrease by 2. If you succeed, the zealots are somewhat suppressed; Lore, Loyalty, Productivity, and Stability decrease by 1. Two successful checks in a row end the event (if a check ends the event, no penalties from it occur that turn).


Whenever the bonus or penalty is temporary, it does say "until the Next Event Phase", like Good Weather, Public Scandal or Natural Blessing.

Quote:
Good Weather: Good weather raises spirits and productivity. Economy, Loyalty, and Productivity increase by 2 until the next Event Phase.
Quote:
Public Scandal: One of your leaders is implicated in a crime or an embarrassing situation, such as an affair with another leader's spouse. Infamy increases by 1. Attempt a Loyalty check. If you fail, Unrest increases by 2 and you take a –4 penalty on all Loyalty checks until the next Event Phase.
Quote:
Natural Blessing: A natural event, such as a bloom of rare and beautiful wildflowers or a good omen in the stars, raises your kingdom's morale. You gain a +4 bonus on Stability checks until the next Event Phase.

But please, FAQ the question in the consolidated kingdom rules questions thread.

Shadowkras, I think you are correct, but the Kingdom rules are super ambiguous about it.

Chemlak: done! Great thread over there.
