Hi,
I have trouble understanding how this focus spell is supposed to work regarding the area of effect, if it is only for the initial casting or for the whole duration.
Do you get the bonuses only while your are inside the area, or if you are affected when it is cast you can go as far away as you want from the bard, keeping the bonuses for the duration?
Thank you!
The description from AoN SRD:
Inspire Courage Cantrip 1
Uncommon Bard Cantrip Composition Emotion Enchantment Mental
Source Core Rulebook pg. 386
Cast Single Action verbal
Area 60-foot emanation
Duration 1 round
You inspire your allies with words or tunes of encouragement. You and all allies in the area gain a +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear effects.
You get the bonus only so long as you are in the area. The relevant line is, "You and all allies in the area gain..."
Note this also applies to Triple Time which could make the use of that cantrip a bit tricky. Luckily it has a 60 foot emanation area.
That makes sense.
Thanks a lot!
