Multi-action: resisting ongoing effects

The rules say that if you are resisting an ongoing effect, if you fail your roll you can try again on your next turn.
So you cannot take multiple action penalties to try and resist ongoing effects again in the same turn. Is that correct?
Answer:
Correct, according to the rule as written.
Duration - Defines how long the effect lasts. If “continuous” and the character fails his resistance check, he suffers the effect until his next turn where he may attempt another resistance check. If omitted, effect is immediate (like damage from a sword).
If you allow a character to re-roll on the same turn it changes the battlefield. For instance, instead of character slowed, stunned or immobilized on their next turn, they've most likely "rolled" their way out of the condition and are ready to start a new turn with no penalties.
