Time Jikuu Descriptions

The following are the time jikuu in alphabetical order.

 

ACCELERATE
Classes: Epo
Sphere: Time
Shaping Time: Standard action
Range: Close (30 feet)
Target: One creature
Duration: Instant
Defense: Determination (Harmless)
Temporal Opposition: Yes
Quanta: 0
You give the target a momentary boost in speed through time.
Increase the target's Initiative by 4.
If the target's Initiative is increased to higher than the current tick, the target takes its next turn immediately after your turn ends; this does not modify the target's place in the Initiative order.

 

ALACRITY
Classes: Epo
Sphere: Time
Shaping Time: Standard action
Range: Close (30 feet)
Target: One creature
Duration: See text
Defense: Determination (Harmless)
Temporal Opposition: Yes
Quanta: 1
You imbue the target's timeline with a few extra moments.
The target gains haste until the end of its next turn. (A creature with haste gains an additional standard action on its turns.)

 

BESTOW TIME
Classes: Epo
Sphere: Time
Shaping Time: Swift action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Duration: Instant
Defense: Determination (Harmless)
Temporal Opposition: Yes
Quanta: 2
You briefly connect your timeline with that of a touched creature, and bestow upon them some of your temporal momentum.
Choose one of your actions. The touched creature gains that action on their next turn.

 

CHRONO CROSS
Classes: Epo
Sphere: Time
Shaping Time: Standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Brief (5 rounds)
Defense: Determination (Harmless)
Temporal Opposition: Yes
Quanta: 4
You tap into nearby alternate timelines, producing copies of yourself that allow you to swap between potential futures.
This effect creates one figment, plus one additional figment for every 5 points of FRC you have above +1 (so two figments at +6, three at +11, to a maximum of four at +16). These figments separate from you; during your turn, you may dictate the actions and movements of these figments. You can move into and through an image. When you and the image separate, observers can’t use vision or hearing to tell which one is you and which the image. The figments may also move through each other. The figments may mimic your actions, pretending to cast spells when you cast a spell, drink potions when you drink a potion, levitate when you levitate, and so on, or they may "take" entirely different actions, at your discretion. Their actions have no actual effect.
When you create the images, each one is an exact copy of you at the time this jikuu is used. When each "takes" an action, the image uses resources just as you would, even though the action has no actual effect. The only exception to this are effects that have a "Range: Personal", or abilities that generate quanta. All actions taken are simultaneous - that is, when the "real" you expends an action, all of the figments also expend that same action.
If a figment's Initiative would change, the figment is immediately destroyed, as the bonds between its timeline and yours no longer are sufficiently strong to keep the figment within your timeline. If the "real" you has its Initiative change, all of the figments are immediately destroyed.
The figments cannot use chrono cross, chrono trigger, or chrono break jikuu, nor can they place tracers.
At any time during your turn, as a swift action, you may decide to exchange places with an image; this is not an actual spatial swap, but a switching of timelines. As such, effects that block spatial travel do not stop this effect, but effects that block temporal travel do. Regardless of your action allotment, you can only swap once each round.

You cause the target's timeline to loop around on itself, forcing them to repeat an action.
If you hit, you manipulate the creature's perception of the time stream, such that it attempts to repeat its last action. If the situation has changed in such a way that the subject can’t take the same actions again (if its foe is dead, or the subject has run out of power points, and so on), the subject stands still and takes no actions on its next turn.

If the effect is harmful in some fashion and is targeting a creature or object, you must hit that creature or object's Fortitude with this jikuu; otherwise, this jikuu takes effect automatically.

You can target a single effect with this jikuu that is affecting a creature, object, area, or event within the range of this jikuu. If you can target at least one of the effect's targets, this jikuu affects the effect in its entirety, not just the "piece" of the effect on the target you have chosen.

Duration: Brief (5 rounds)
Defense: Reflex

You temporarily become a temporal vampire, capable of stealing time with a touch.
For the duration of this jikuu, whenever you make a successful physical attack against a creature, you can steal one of its standard or move actions from its next turn and add that action to your action allotment this round. To do so, you must make a temporal attack with this jikuu against the creature; if that attack is successful, you steal one action of your choice.

You go back a few seconds in time, undoing the last thing you did.
You may only use this jikuu at the end of your turn.
All of your actions taken this turn are undone. Any damage you have dealt or received is removed; any movement you have taken is "un-taken" (you appear at your original position). You retain awareness of what occurred when you took your previous actions, but no other creature does. For all intents and purposes, your actions this past round were "apparent time" to you, and registers as such for anyone using abilities that detect temporal anomalies. You are now free to retake your actions; you may choose to take the same ones, or different ones.
However, after using this jikuu, the quanta you expended to use it are still expended. In addition, you do not regain the swift action used to use this jikuu.
