Tempus Wraps[edit]

Your Tempus Wraps allow you to use your Tempus magic whilst protecting you from harm. These wraps take place of your armour, and give you an AC equal to 11 + your Charisma modifier. Should you loose these wraps or break them, you can make more by buying 50gp of silk in a strip and infuse them with your magic over a short or long rest.

Tempus Focus[edit]

Your Tempus Focus is what you use to cast your spells and cantrips. The Tempus Focus can come in different shapes, such as an hourglass, watch, clock hand, or other items related to time. Should you lose your Tempus Focus you can create a new one with 20gp of materials and your Tinker's Tools over a short or long rest.

Spellcasting[edit]

When you reach 1st level, you gain the ability to cast spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the wizard spell list.

Cantrips. At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the Tempus spell list. You learn additional Tempus cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Tempus table.

Spell Slots. The Tempus Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Preparing and Casting Spells. The Tempus table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Tempus spells. To cast one of your Tempus spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of Tempus spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Tempus spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Tempus spells equal to your Charisma modifier + your Tempus level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level Tempus , you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd-level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Tempus spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

The Spells Known column of the Tempus Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the Tempus spells you know with another spell of your choice from the Tempus spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a sorcerer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

^{Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + Charisma modifier}

^{Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + Charisma modifier}

Time Points[edit]

At 2nd level you gain access to Time Points, which represent the amount of power you have to alter time. As you progress through this class you will gain more Time Points as is shown on your Tempus table. When you spend a Time Point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended Time Points back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your Time Points.

Chronoshift[edit]

Also at 2nd level you gain the ability to slightly alter small sections of time, allowing an ally's weapon to swing faster or an enemy to slow down enough to miss. When you or another creature you can see makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction and spend 2 Time Points to roll 1d4 and apply the number rolled as a bonus or penalty (your choice) to the creature's roll. You can do so after the creature rolls but before any effects of the roll occur.

Timeless Body[edit]

Once you reach 3rd level your body has become distorted by time, you no longer need to eat, sleep, or breathe and you cannot be aged naturally or magically. At 10th level you can alter your body's age over a short or long rest.

Ability Score Increase[edit]

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Tempus Fugit[edit]

At 6th level you learn to travel through time and appear somewhere else. Using 4 Time Points you can cast blink or misty step. When using this to cast blink, rather than entering the Ethereal Plane, you enter your own dimension of altered time. You can also spend 2 Time Points as a bonus action to teleport to a location you previously occupied within the last minute and can increase the time by 1 minute per additional Time Point spent.

Mend & Maim[edit]

Starting at 10th level you learn to apply your temporal manipulation to life force, allowing you the ability of repairing wounds or aging flesh. Using 2 Time Points you can heal a creature 1d10 hit points or make a melee spell attack against a creature, on a hit you deal 1d10 necrotic damage. You can increase the amount of dice by 1d10 per additional Time Point used.

Rewind[edit]

Starting at 14th level you learn to revert someone's time, causing their actions to be undone, leaving the rest of time untouched. As a reaction you can spend 10 Time Points to cause a creature's turn to be undone, placing them to the area they started their turn, and undoing any spells cast, damage dealt or taken. The creature then takes its turn as if it had not went. Once you've used this feature you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

The World[edit]

By 18th level your control over time extends over the world. You learn the spell time stop, and when you cast it, its duration cannot be ended early by any means. Any melee attacks will automatically hit, and the receiving creature will only react after the spell ends. Any spells you cast on a creature besides yourself initially have no effect, but will activate once time resumes. Any objects you interact with will move normally while you are in contact with them, before stopping immediately once you let go. The objects retain any momentum or other effects once time resumes.

In addition, you may briefly stop time even without the use of a spell slot. As a reaction on anything's turn (including yours) you may stop time for a single turn, which you will take immediately after activating the ability. This can be done in the middle of another creature's action, interrupting it and forcing them to finish whatever they are doing after time resumes. If you are interrupting an attack made against you, you may stop time after the roll is made, but before a hit is declared. After time resumes, you suffer 5d12 necrotic damage. This damage ignores resistances and immunities.

Temporal Distortion[edit]

Finally, at 20th level your mastery over the flow of time keeps you in a constant state of distorted time. You gain resistance gain bludgeoning, slashing, piercing, and force damage. As a reaction you can cause an melee or spell attack made against you to be done with disadvantage, or you can gain advantage on a saving throw against an attack or spell. Additionally any hostile creature within 5 feet of you takes 4d4 force damage at the start of their turn or when they pass within range.
