Shattered Kingdoms

So I was skimming through old code updates...


Why would bless be tied to the fast affects system? Most of the other buffs aren't; in fact, the only other buff on there is rallying cry, which works in a significantly different way. Is there something the help file isn't revealing about the way bless works, or is it just a goose among the ducks?

The change itself was actually marginal.

A

bless is held via concentration. With that being the case, why would it change in the middle of a round? The effects of the spell doesn't change during the round unless I missed something.

Bless is also given by vials, staves, scrolls, pills and perhaps wands.

That's why it can change in the middle of the round.

Yeah, but every other buff works exactly the same way, and most are significantly more common - yet they all work on the tick. Just seems random to have bless, of all things, work on fast affects.
