Increase duration for Strikes Feats PAL/BG

[Steve]

The PAL/BG spell-feats are:

- Burning Strike
- Blessed Strike
- Disrupting Strike
- Divine Retribution

These spell-feats state they last for 1 Round. But that isn't exactly how they work in Real Life application. Because it is not 1 round as it would be for the PC, but 6 seconds by the Engine clock. And, since it takes 2 seconds to re-initiate attacking after casting the spell-feat, and then Attacks are done in waves that take in account the APR of each enemy a PC is facing, the real life result is that this spell-feat option lasts usually for only 1 APR, when it should last for up to 6 APR (depending on the build...but most likely 6 for a PAL/BG).

Considering these spell-feats also have Saves involved, and a cooldown, it doesn't seem too much to ask that the last for 2 rounds at least. Because then I'd argue they are useful to apply to the game play, instead of being a "that's cool...but I wish it would actually help me!" type of Feat...and one that isn't used much at all. At least, by this PAL/BG PC player!!!

Please?

steve, how did you make a paladin blackguard in the first place? are you cheating?!

[Bobthehero]

BG is Body Guard, in that case.

Ha! I never, ever, ever, ever cheat. Never!

Nonetheless, I also never, ever, ever, ever make gimped builds...and I'd say a Paladin + Blackguard would be such a build.

Anyway..., in this case the 2da for these spells lists BG or Bg as acronym for Blackguard (BkG or whatever!!!). All the descriptions are like this.

and please replace the "avatar" for these strikes with the same meachanic as "blinding strike" uses.

I am fairly certain that the spells list Blackguard because they were originally included as a part of Rasael's spellbook replacement system which would have given Blackguard a proper spellbook.

to the point of the topic, they do essentially cost a spell slot, probably no harm in increasing that on activation duration from 6 seconds to ~12 seconds. Same could probably be done with the Ranger spells like bladethirst and the arrow spells.

Dude, I was just explain why the spell listed paladin or blackguard. I couldn't care less, just trying to offer explanation. As to all or nothing we discussed as nauseum in QC and yeah everyone said all or nothing so go for it...or don't *shrug*
