MONSTER MANUAL Action Page 7: In the first sentence of the Sustain definition, replace cstart of its next turn d with cend of its next turn. d Otherwise, the monster cannot ever sustain its power because the duration ends before it can spend the necessary action.

Aura Page 280: Remove cand effects imposed by an aura last until the end of the affected creatures 9 next turn unless otherwise stated d from the first paragraph.

This change removes the rule that prevents stacking in damage auras, ensuring that monsters are achieving correct damage output. Aura : An aura is a continuous effect that affects all squares within the listed range of the originating creature 9s space. An aura does not affect the originating creature unless the text specifies otherwise. If auras overlap and impose penalties to the same roll or game statistic, a creature affected by the overlapping auras is subjected to the worst penalty; the penalties are not cumulative. For instance, if a creature is affected by three overlapping auras that each impose a 32 penalty to attack rolls, the creature takes a 32 penalty, not a 36 penalty.
