    What is longer in-game? A minute or a round?
    Does a spell effect that lasts a minute/caster level stay in effect longer than one which is a round/level?
    And how many rounds per minute or vice-versa?

    Oh and this too...
    Didn't in take 8 hours to go from Kuldahar valley to Kuldahar? So do we now have warp technology in Kuldahar? ;)

    I believe they used 3rd edition rules for IWDII, so that would make 1 round = 6 seconds, or 10 rounds per minute.

    IIRC, in 2nd edition 1 round = 1 minute.

    From what I recall in the games,yes, 6 seconds is a round, and 10 rounds is 1 turn.
    I never got to play 3rd on pen n paper, but I do know 6secs is a round, and I used to play alot of 2nd ed. If that was actually 2nd ed rules, I dont recall since we never got that fickle with time, but definitely thats how the infinity engine games have been.

    @Goon66

    Yes.

    6 seconds = 1 round
    10 rounds = 1 turn
    1 turn = 60 seconds/1 minute
    60 turns = 1 hour
