I'm trying to figure our how long Slowed 1 lasts on a successful save vs the Skaveling's paralysis effect. Here's the description from AoN:
Paralysis (incapacitation, occult, necromancy) Any creature hit by the skaveling's Strikes must attempt a DC 22 Fortitude save.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature is slowed 1.
Failure The creature is paralyzed. It can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns, and the DC cumulatively decreases by 1 on each save.
Usually a duration is listed for Slowed. Since it's a success, should it be 1 round? Or does the PC get a new save at the end of their turn as in the paralyzed result for a failed save? Otherwise it seems pretty brutal effect for a successful save.
I'm pretty sure each round a condition like Slowed is reduced in severity by 1 (the number reduces by 1) which reduces the numeric penalty associated with it (like Clumsy 3) or in the case of Slowed reduces the number of actions lost. So if you successfully save, you will lose 1 action on your next turn, and then the condition is reduced to 0 and disappears.
HOWEVER! I can't actually find the rules text that talks about how conditions tick down like that.
