Don't get me wrong, I don't mind seeing things in terms of minutes, but am I the only one that finds it a bit difficult to keep track of effects when thinking about turns left?

Like, this is my character now:

Aura: Keen Observation -
604.01 min

at 4min20sec per turn, that would be 604.1/4.33..., which is ~139.5 turns. Would it be possible to implement that next to the minute count? ie:

Aura: Keen Observation -
604.01 min (~140 turns)

If this was asked before, or if theres a reason that it cannot be implemented, my apologies.

The reason is mostly aesthetic. There's so much going on there already that a second number--and an approximate one at that--seems like more mess than usefulness.

Personally, I just assume that a turn is five minutes and you'll get a reasonable, if conservative, estimate pretty easily.

It sounds like a five second greasemonkey script for someone who actually knows something about such things, too. Maybe I'm wrong, there.

I can't imagine that being hard- as long as it could find the duration of your turns it could easily just divide each one and display it in Erich's suggested format.

Heh, funny you ask because bamse actually wrote me one. I just have to find a good place to host it. Actually, he has it hosted on his server.
