Ongoing effects

Ongoing effects are buffs which can be maintained indefinitely and dismissed at will. A character may maintain 1 ongoing effect per 5 levels, starting with 1 at 1st level, 2 at 5th level, and so on.

A character loses all ongoing effects whenever:

1) They fall unconscious or asleep

2) They die

3) They reallocate their Powers during a short rest

If a new ongoing effect is being applied to a character, but they are already maintaining their maximum number of effects, they may freely drop any one of them to allow the new one to take its place.
