Conditions with this tick type will effectively last one turn less than its stated duration. For example, a 1 turn duration {{Cond|Frozen}} effect (from {{Cond|Chilled}}) will end immediately at the start of the frozen creature's turn without disabling it for a single turn. A 2 turn {{Cond|Frozen}} effect (from {{Cond|Encrusted with Frost}}) will effectively only last for 1 turn for the same reason. | ||
