Round and Turn?

Post by LittlePanda »

I've read through some of the spells and other stuff on the Gamebanshee website thinking that I could learn some about the spells, making it easier to play.

One thing that suddenly caught my eye was that some spells have the description "1 Turn", my first thought was, that must mean they useless, 1 Turn is like 1 second, then I looked on the next spell which said "1 Round". I'm wondering what the difference is between one-round and one-turn. And how do you count the spell casting time, some say 4, does that mean that it takes 4 turns or 4 rounds to cast it?

All help is appreciated.

Oh, almost forgot, I tried to search it with the forum search thingy but all I found was descriptions on the most usefull/useless spells, which helped abit but I still would like to know the difference between these two ways of describing an time interval.

Ok I'm gonna explain it all to ya.

First, 1 round is the most used period of time in the game. The number of attacks your character gets is per round and most spells have a duration of #rounds. 1 round consistes of 6 seconds and 1 turn is 10 rounds, meaning 60 seconds.

The castingtime though is a number between 1 and 10. The castingtime shows how many /10 of a round it takes to cast a spell. For example:A castingtime of 5 means 5/10 of a round = 5*(6/10) =5*0,6 s or 3 seconds. 2 means 2/10 round = 2*0,6 = 1,2 seconds.

Glad to be of any help.
