Re: Can you try to use a skill more than once?
The 'cannot try to save again' text is only in the context of failing a save after having made a save and entered the circle though, it doesn't restrict how many saves you can try to make while outside of it. What do you think happens if it's not possible for someone to get out of a protection circ...

Re: Can you try to use a skill more than once?
Knowing the 'down time' between failed rolls for a lot of stuff would be nice. Like if you fail a save vs magic to enter a Circle of Protection / Protection Circle, I figure eventually you could re-try just not sure how often you could attempt until you passed it. Well if you make the saving throw ...

I want to say you can absorb 20 p.p.e. per melee. So for my shifter who has a base of 300 p.p.e. it takes 11 minutes 15 seconds to get to his max of 900 p.p.e., and at certain times you can draw more. Not sure when don't have the book handy.
