One of the PCs in my group uses the CA spell Ring of Blades. The spell description says something to the effect of "each round on your turn the blades do damage to all creatures in adjacent squares." This is a paraphrase because I don't have the book handy, but the question is when does "on your turn" happen? Is it at the beginning of your turn? The end? Continuously so that you can damage a dozen foes by running between them (I assume not!).
Further details for those who care:
For the duel he was in I had the spell do damage at the beginning of the caster's turn, but this means the foe can just 5-foot step away all day and never take damage from the spell. On the other hand, if it's the end of the caster's turn, the spell will never damage melee monsters that the caster is retreating from.
