These are really basic duration rules we're talking about here.  That you're getting them wrong concerns me...



If i am getting them wrong as you say, please show me. Im still waiting for your rule citation that says unspecified durations have a duration of 5 minutes or EoE so where is it ?

It seems the rule I had in mind mentioned ongoing damage, specifically.  I extrapolated that to all conditions, but that may not be the case.

It seems you also recall that rule incorrectly because ongoing damage with an unspecified durations has a duration of (save end) and not until the end of the encounter or 5 minute.

"Effects that last “until the end of the encounter” actually last about 5 minutes. That means they never carry over from one encounter to another, as long as those encounters are separated by a short rest. If characters use them outside combat, or plow through multiple encounters without taking a short rest, they enjoy the effect for a full 5 minutes."

Yup. For an effect to last 5 minutes it need to last until the end of the encounter in the first place.

An effect that has no given duration does not mean it last until the end of the encounter.
