How do I set up a Duration til End of Next Round

[arksorn]

A monk stunning attack lasts "until the end of" the monks next turn. What is the best way to set this up. I am applying a duration to the effect but it seems to end at the start of the monks next turn.

Change the initiative number for the effect - this is when the effect duration will decrease by one. So set the initiative number for the effect to be one less than the current initiative of the monk. You may need to set the duration for 2 rounds as it would immediately decrement after the monks first turn.

How do I change the initiative number for the effect?

The GM can do so by typing a different number in the combat tracker. Currently the 5E ruleset doesn't have a duration of end after next (though the 4E ruleset does).

Try changing the initiative number to 0 - I believe that means "end of turn". Then duration of 2 would work for this case.

How do I separate the affect from the caster?

Not being in 5e seems an over sight.

Yes, there are quite a few effects that end at the end of the caster's next turn. Where do we make feature requests?

That would do it for end of *round*. For end of next *turn* it would be better done - assuming no shared initiatives - by changing the initiative to Monk's initiative + .5, ie if the monk goes on 13 then change the duration on the stun to end 13.5. If you do have shared initiatives then just move the one before the monk to 12 and the ones after the monk to 14.

That would do it for end of *round*.

/me squints eye at title of thread..

:) True, but the question was about a monks ability that ends after his next turn. Either way, we got it covered.
