-Whether by magic, super-science, or stranger forces yet a Chronomancer has some amount of control over the fabric of time itself. In game terms this translates into a variety of minor time-related tricks. Actual time travel of the "kill Hitler" sort that can create paradoxes or alter the timeline is up to the referee to include/adjudicate if desired and doesn't necessarily exist in a given campaign world even if the Chronomancer class does.+Whether by magic, super-science, or stranger forces yet a Chronomancer has some amount of control over the fabric of time itself.

 +^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Breathtaking Speed:** You can compress a few minutes of effort into a few seconds, allowing you to perform anything that would normally require an entire procedure to accomplish as a single action instead. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mojo:** Using Compression to perform a long task quickly requires you to spend one Mojo. |

Make note of how much damage they would have taken. The subject suffers all delayed damage at the end of your next turn (possibly giving them time to heal or otherwise lessen the effects of their future pain). \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Supplies:** Roll a trigger die every time you delay damage from any source.

-^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Time Anchor:** By spending an action, you can make careful note of a single creature within 5 meters of your location's current status (including location, conditions suffered, current Flesh/Energy/Attention, etc.) Write this information down if you have to. Later, you can spend another action to revert the selected creature back to the way they were when you made the anchor point. This can reverse any kind of death or misfortune so long as it happened after you set the anchor point. The creature retains their memory of what happened. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Lost Resources:** A creature's resources are not reverted when you use this ability. Anything spent remains spent. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Time's Limit:** Reaching back through time becomes more difficult the further back one reaches. If you haven't reverted a creature by the end of the current exploration turn the effect fades and is wasted. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Chaos Theory:** Combat or other high-stakes conflict in particular tends to breed many alternative timelines, which in turn make reversion much more difficult. If there is any amount of active Escalation when you wish to revert a creature back to their anchor point state, you must roll a trigger die. If the result is equal to or less than the total Escalation of the fight, the reversion fails and the effect is wasted. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Supplies:** Creating the initial anchor point state with Reversion requires you to mark off 1 Supplies. Actually reverting to it later doesn't cost anything but an action. | 
-|{{fa>caret-right?24}} ^{{fa>star?24|Alternative}} |{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Untangled Threads:** When you fail to successfully revert a subject due to your trigger die not exceeding the current Escalation, you can choose to successfully revert them anyway. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Supplies:** Forcing a reversion when it would normally fail requires you to mark off 1 Supplies use. |

-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Slow:** As an action, you may briefly slow time for any subject within throwing range (0-10 meters). A slowed subject may take one less action on their next turn. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Slowed Ain't Stopped:** Time resists slowing. A single subject cannot be slowed more than once per round. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Supplies:** Roll a trigger die when you use this ability.

 ^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Stasis:** As an action, you may briefly freeze in time any subject within throwing range (0-10 meters). A subject in stasis cannot take any actions, but also cannot be damaged or affected in any way and is effectively immune to everything, both positive and negative. Stasis can be used both defensively (protecting a target that's in a bad spot at the cost of them not being able to do anything) and offensively (preventing a target from being able to do anything at the cost of making them invincible). \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Wears Off:** Stasis wears off at the beginning of its subject's turn, but only if it has already prevented them from taking actions for a round. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Supplies:** Roll a trigger die when you use this ability. If the result is 1-6, then doing so costs 1 Supplies.

 ^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Future You:** Any time during your turn as a free action, you can summon up a special helper: yourself, from one round in the future. Your future self appears in any space adjacent to your current position of your choice. You control both yourself and your future self, who has the same abilities as you and all the same statistics and active conditions. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Shared Fate:** Anything that happens to you (damage taken, conditions acquired, healing bestowed) also happens to your future self and vice versa. If either of you use resources, they get taken from your singular communal pool. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Closed Loop:** At the beginning of your next turn, both you and your future self disappear (you have been summoned back in time to help your past self.) You are completely absent from combat for the next round until the beginning of your next turn after that, whereupon you appear in the same place (or the nearest available space, if it's occupied) and in the same condition as your future self was when they disappeared. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Supplies:** Using Time Twin requires you to spend 1 Supplies. \\ \\ {{ra>doubled?24&align=left}}**Vehicle Twinning:** When a vehicle uses this ability, the entire vehicle and all of its passengers are twinned.
