Time Mage (3.5e Prestige Class)

Time Mage

“	Time moved so slow for that guy that I had killed him a week before he ever saw me.	”
—Remington Stone, Human Time Mage, Overheard at the local bar.

The Time Mage is a dexterity wizard. Warping the bounds of space and reality, Time Mages often strike down their foes before knowledge of her presence is detected. Dispatching a monstrous assassin before murder even crystallized in its heart, Time Mages are among the most feared of the specialized magicians. Their motto is not to hit hard, but to hit first, hit well, and hit often. If left alone, Time Mages can quickly bestow a number of beneficial status effects on their allies, and negative effects on their foes, turning the tide of battle.

Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Time Mage is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the whip. Time Mages are proficient with light armor and shields (except tower shields).

Ability Boost (Ex) As a time mage gains levels in this prestige class, his ability scores increase as noted on Table: The time mage.

These increases stack and are gained as if through level advancement.

Distort (Su): The first ability a time mage learns is distort. A time mage attacks his foes with the power of distorted space, using time and space to deal damage and sometimes impart other debilitating effects. The time mage may use this a number of times per day equal to her Intelligence modifier + level.

A distort is a ray with a range of 60 feet. It is a ranged attack that affects a single target or a area up-to 30 feet affecting all that are in the area, allowing no saving throw. A distort deals 1d6 points of damage at 1st level and increases in power as the time mage rises in level. A distort is the equivalent of a spell whose level is equal to the time mage’s class level, with a minimum (1d6) spell level of 1st and a maximum (10d6) of 10th when a time mage reaches 10th level or higher.

A distort is subject to spell resistance, although the Spell Penetration feat and other effects that improve caster level checks to overcome spell resistance also apply to distort. A distort deals damage to objects. Metamagic feats cannot improve a time mage’s distort (because it is a spell-like ability, not a spell).

Improved Initiative: A time mage gains Improved Initiative as a bonus feat.

Haste (Sp): Beginning at 2nd level, a time mage can use Haste as a touch spell, with a duration of 2d6 + her dexterity modifier rounds, a number of times per day equal to her Intelligence modifier + one and one additional time per day at 6th level and ever four levels thereafter. Her caster level equals her class level.

Fast Movement (Ex): At 3rd level, a time mage gains an enhancement bonus to her speed, as shown on Table: The Time Mage. A time mage in armor or carrying a medium or heavy load loses this extra speed.

Time Mastery: On attaining 3rd level, and at every two levels thereafter (5th, 7th, 9th, and etc), a time mage gains a special ability of her choice from among the following options.

Spell Regress: At the beginning of the day the Time mage gains the ability to choose a spell to add a per day use to. This spell last only for that day, so the chosen spell's use/day is increased by 1 for that day and that day only. This is a 1/day spell.

Greater Initiative (Ex): The time mage gains a +4 on Initiative checks. This bonus stacks with the Improved Initiative feat.

Ripple Shot (Su): The time mage gains an ability to shoot missile-like time ripples at his or her enemies..For every two time mage levels, you gain an additional missile—two at 5rd level, three at 7th, four at 8th, and the maximum of ten missiles at 20th level. If you shoot multiple missiles, you can have them strike a single creature or several creatures. A single missile can strike only one creature. You must designate targets before you check for spell resistance or roll damage. The missile strikes unerringly, even if the target is in melee combat or has less than total cover or total concealment. Specific parts of a creature can’t be singled out. Inanimate objects are not damaged by the spell. The missle deals 2d6 points of force damage each. The time mage can use this ability a number of times per day equal to her Intelligence modifier +1.
