Class Features:
Accelerated Movement (Su):
Starting at first level, the Time Mage permanently benefits from increased speed. His movement speeds are all doubled, and he always retains his Dexterity bonus to Armour Class.
Chrono-Blast (Sp):
At first level, the Time Mage gains the ability to blast foes with energy, warping their bodies as some cells age, others regress to when they were injured or not yet formed. This is a Standard action to call forth, and has a maximum range of 200' as a Ranged Touch Attack. It deals 1d6 untyped damage per level, plus the Wisdom modifier of the Time Mage. The Time Mage can elect for it to be any spell level up to (half his character level, round up). This means he could cast it as SL 1 and apply metamagic, or could just cast it at maximum SL so as to beat Globes of Invulnerability, or some mid-point.
Chrono-Trigger (Ex):
The Time Mage may treat any of the following spells as being on his class list for the purpose of activating spell-trigger items:
Animal Growth, Arcane Lock, Blink, Clone, Contingency, Cure (any) Wounds, Death Knell, Delay Poison, Destruction, Dimensional Lock, Diminish Plants, Disintegrate, Erase, Expeditious Retreat, False Life, Featherfall, Foresight, Gentle Repose, Harm, Haste, Heal, Inflict (any) Wounds, Knock, Legend Lore, Make Whole, Mending, Moment of Prescience, Open/Close, Permenancy, Plant Growth, Purify Food and Drink, Raise Dead, Regenerate, Rusting Grasp, Simulacrum, Slay Living, Slow, Temporal Stasis, Timestop, Undeath to Death
Starting at second level, the body of the Time Mage slowly starts to revert back to times when it was uninjured. He gains Fast Healing 1, which increases by 1 for every two class levels.
Temporal Deprivation (Sp):
At second level, the Time Mage gains the ability to muddle people's brains, depriving them of temporal perception so they miss events that happen around them. As a Standard action, designate one opponent in Close range. That opponent must make a Will save (DC 10 + half level + Wis) or be Dazed for 1 round. This is a second-level effect.
Time Warp (Sp):
At third level, the Time Mage gains the ability to alter time for individuals. He may duplicate a Slow or Haste effect at any time, although only one use of it may be in effect at a time (so he may be Hasted, or an ally may be Hasted, or an enemy may be Slowed). The save DC is 10 + half level + Wis. This is a third-level effect.
Ageless (Ex):
At third level, the Time Mage becomes permanently "Adult", never growing older and suffering the penalties for ageing. Bonuses are also not gained, because fuck you, and the character will never die of old age.
You Can't See Me (Su):
At third level, the Time Mage starts to move stupidly fast. He may move his movement speed (as though taking a Move action) by spending a Swift action, and additionally is treated as Invisible for the duration of this movement.
Visions From the past (Sp):
At level four the Time Mage gains the ability to view the past. By spending a Full Round action, he can see the surrounding area (limited by his normal field of vision) as it was in the past. The vision can go any time back with a maximum of 1 day per level. If anything was in place to block Scrying and Divinations at the time, he is unable to see anything.
Spending consecutive Full Round actions allows this ability to be extended at will. This is a third-level effect.
Jump to the Left (Su):
At level four, the Time Mage gains the ability to hop back in time. As an Immediate action, he may teleport to any square he inhabited in his previous turn, providing it is currently unoccupied.
Age Manipulation (Sp):
Starting at level five, the Time Mage gains power over age: firstly he may alter his own appearance to seem younger or older, granting up to a +5 Enhancement bonus on Disguise checks to simply not appear as himself. Secondly, he may actually affect the ages of targets up to 30' away with a Standard action. They must pass a Fortitude save or be subject to one of the following:
[*]Old: the target is rendered Blind, Deaf and Exhausted
[*]Young: the target is treated as one size category smaller and suffers a -10 penalty to Strength and a -4 penalty to Dexterity and Constitution.
Either effect lasts for one round per level. Used on Immortal creatures without age, it has no effect. Used on Dragons, Young temporarily reduces them by 1 Age Category (minimum Wyrmling), and Old has no effect. Fuck off with your attempts to power up allied Dragons. This is a third-level effect.
Temporal Turbulence (Su):
At fifth level, the Time Mage gains the ability to cause "bumps" in time for people, generally throwing them out of Synch. As an Immediate action, he may designate a target who is performing some kind of action. They must pass a Will save (DC 10 + half level + Wis) or be affected: If they were simply moving, they stop moving and fall prone. If performing an action that involves a d20 roll, they suffer a Circumstance penalty on the roll equal to his level or Wis mod, whichever is lower. If casting a spell, they must make a Concentration check as though Casting Defensively, or lose the spell.
Visions From the Future (Sp):
At level six the Time Mage gains the ability to view the most probable future. By spending a Full Round action, he can see the surrounding area (limited by his normal field of vision) as it was in the most probable future, not including any actions taken by him (so it could show "Cao Cao's forces will strike from the East at midnight, they are 10,000 strong" but would not say who wins unless he had no intention of being there to change this). The vision can go any time forward with a maximum of 1 day per level. If anything will most likely be in place to block Scrying and Divinations at the time, he is unable to see anything.
Spending consecutive Full Round actions allows this ability to be extended at will. This is a third-level effect.
Time Hole (Sp):
At level six, the Time Mage learns how to drop people into small time holes, placing them outside of time for a few seconds, and yes, I know how stupid it sounds to be placed outside of time for a few seconds. As a Swift action, he may designate a target in Close range, and they must make a Ref save or fall into a time hole. Falling in effectively places them outside of reality for 1 round, so that they are allowed no actions, and may not be affected by anything. When they return, they must make a Will save or be disorientated (counts as Sickened) by the change for 1d4 rounds. This is a third-level effect.
Extract Experiences (Su):
At level seven, the Time Mage gains the ability to steal the past from people. This is a Standard action, and requires a melee touch attack that does not provoke. The target, if touched, takes 1 temporary Negative Level per 3 levels the Time Mage possesses, and loses memories of one event experienced (at the Time Mage's choosing, if he knows what experiences are available) for the duration (1 hour). For this duration, the Time Mage can "remember" the event as though experienced by himself, though he knows it to be a stolen memory.
See it Coming (Ex):
At level seven, the Time Mage foresees most attacks before they arrive. He may add his Wis mod as a Resistance bonus on saving throws, and as an Insight bonus to Armour Class.
Temporal Stasis (Sp):
At level eight, the Time Mage can cast Temporal Stasis as a spell-like ability at will.
Temporal Disorientation (Su):
At ninth level, the Time Mage gains the ability to rob people of time even more. As a Standard action, designate one opponent in Close range. That opponent must make a Will save (DC 10 + half level + Wis) or be Stunned for 1d4 rounds, + 1 round per 3 levels.
Time Warp Again (Sp):
At ninth level, Time Warp gains a boost: a 15' radius spread may be affected, all at once, with either effect, however only one activation at a time is possible, so either a group of enemies is Slowed or a group of allies is Hasted. The effective spell level increases to fifth.
Regress Injuries (Sp):
At tenth level, the Time Mage learns how to make the body revert to a time where it was less injured. He may cast Heal and Regenerate each, once per day, as spell-like abilities.
Clone From the Past (Sp):
At eleventh level, the Time Mage gains the ability to cast Simulacrum as a spell-like ability at will, with the following limitations:
[*]The simulacrum can only be of himself
[*]Only one simulacrum (of him, not "at all, ever") can exist at a time - also preventing a simulacrum from creating more of itself.
Time Vortex (Sp):
At level eleven, the Time Mage learns how to create larger time holes. He may now elect to affect only one target as normal, or create a 15' radius spread that affects all within it. Those inside still gain no actions, so cannot affect each other. The effective spell level increases to six.
Stasis Field (Su):
Starting at level twelve, the Time Mage generates an aura that places those nearby into stasis, though it can be suppressed at will. The aura extends out to a 30' radius, and anyone caught in the aura must immediately make a Fortitude save or be caught in it. Every round they are still in the effect, they must save again (whether affected already or not - every round is a new chance to break free, or to be trapped).
A target who fails the save immediately ages one year (physically), and can perform no actions during that round, however they can also not be affected by any creature or effect, except for the Time Mage and the effects he generates. Those taken to the end of their life by this effect appear normal until the aura leaves their occupied space, where they immediately drop dead (or turn to dust).
If a player tries to rapidly advance an allied Dragon to a more powerful age category, that's very annoying but people presumably already have chain-bound Efreeti sweatshops and such, so whatever.
Age of Dust (Sp):
At level thirteen, the Time Mage gains the ability to age things not only to death, but to the point where they have turned to dust. With a Standard action, he may make a melee touch attack against an opponent. If successful, they must make a Fortitude save or be reduced to dust. This is not a [Death] effect and works even on objects. If they save, they cannot be affected by this again for one minute. The effective spell level is seven.
The Slowness (Su):
At level thirteen, the Time Mage can easily create a bubble of time that greatly assists in stopping projectiles. By spending an Immediate action, he can cause all projectiles targeted at him to miss until his next turn.
Hammertime (Su):
Starting at level fourteen, the Time Mage becomes so fast - and more importantly, simply has so much time - that he gets two sets of actions every round. As such he may make two Full Round actions and two Swift actions, or whatever. Both Swift actions may still be converted to Immediate actions, but they don't have to be. Anything which can be performed once per round as a Free action (such as taking a 5' step of adjustment) is still limited in this manner and does not double in uses.
Timestop (Sp):
At fifteenth level, the Time Mage gains the ability to cast Time Stop three times per day as a spell-like ability. Additionally, whenever Time Stop is cast within 100' of him, he is still subject to the benefits of the effect, leaving him and the caster in their own personal timeframe, still able to affect one another.
Chrono-Cross (Sp):
At fifteenth level, the Time Mage can turn the clock back completely to avert disaster. At will, he may spend a Full Round action turning the clock back. After this action is complete, go back to the beginning of the previous round and continue from there. When time catches back up to the "current" round, the Full Round action is still spent going back so as to avoid a paradox, and the ability cannot be used on the following round. If the Time Mage manages to die before time catches up, his corpse and soul are erased so as to avoid a paradox, nature doing its best to attempt damage control. This is considered to be a ninth-level effect.
