 A Turn is a period of 10 minutes, which is used to measure movement and actions of exploring a dungeon or building. Many spells have a duration of 1 turn, representing the amount of time a single fighting encounter.  If a spell description or monster attack description refers to "1 turn","single fight" or "per battle" or "per fight" this refers to a single 10-minute turn.  Unless there is fresh pursuit or extreme haste, every fighting encounter is considered to last a full 10-minute exploration turn, allowing for time to catch one's breath, adjust equipment, bind up smaller scratches. A Turn is a period of 10 minutes, which is used to measure movement and actions of exploring a dungeon or building.
