Talk:Extend spell

Exteding spells with fractional number of rounds per caster level
To reply the The Krit's latest undo revision of Acid fog.

I wrote: "Extending this spell will not equal to 1round/level because the duration is first halved and rounded down and then multiplied by two again which results to the 1less round that it should be"

The Krit undone this note and replied: "Right, that is what "twice as long as normal" means."

Does it mean that we have some proof of how it should work (my note "less than it should be" is incorrect, I don't actually claim it should be like this) ? Because what we have are several spells with 1/2 levels and some of them are multiplying the result of CL/2 * 2 and some of them multiplying duration written in spell's description that is 2 rounds / 2 levels, shortened /2 = 1 round/level.

So I ask again, do we know what is correct behavior? Should the wiki decide what is correct or simply describe the current behavior?

A note into this article would be definitely appropriate, whether to note this in each spell with 1/2CL is questions, but if there are notes about cases where extended spell uses 1CL/1lv, why shouldn't there be a note that some spells doing this differently?

Each time its twice as long as normal, it only depends from what we are come out.

Also is the rounding down correct at all? Should the spell with 1/2CL cast by lvl 1 caster have duration of 0round or 0.5 round, or 1 round? Currently each spell has a sanity check to ensure the duration will be at least 1 round. Which maked discrepancy as the duration then is:

1:1

2:1

3:1

4:2

and so on. Do we have a proof this is intented and correct? Shouldn't it be rather 3sec 6sec 9sec 12 sec? 77.92.213.119 12:04, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
