PFS StandardChronoskimmer

Legacy Content

Source Dark Archive pg. 186
The flow of time is an unstoppable force. Most are carried downstream inexorably, like a leaf floating on a river. You, however, somehow fell out of the flow of time, if only for an instant, but in doing so gained a perspective that few others have.

Now you stand on the banks of the river, watching the flow, choosing where to dive in, or even defying the current, at least for a short while, as you skim its surface and skip from moment to moment. As a chronoskimmer, time is yours to exploit.

You have the means to see the timelines of all creatures, including your own. You can use this insight to manipulate the flow of time for creatures, much like you can pluck the leaf from the river and place it elsewhere. Manipulating timelines can be dangerous, however, and the Dimension of Time isn't wont to allow these transgressions against time to stand forever. The threat always looms of time dimensionals coming to correct your actions or of you becoming removed from time forever.

PFS StandardChronoskimmer Dedication Feat 2

Legacy Content

Rare Archetype Dedication 
Source Dark Archive pg. 186
Archetype Chronoskimmer

You became partially unstuck from time and have learned how to manipulate your place in flow of time. When you roll initiative, you can choose one of three options: either do nothing and roll initiative normally, stabilize your timestream, or destabilize your timestream and send it into intense fluctuations. If you choose to stabilize your timestream, you don't roll initiative, and instead your initiative is equal to 10 + your initiative modifier. If you choose to destabilize your timestream, attempt a DC 11 flat check. On a success, your initiative is equal to 19 + your initiative modifier, and on a failure, your initiative is equal to 1 + your initiative modifier. Both stabilizing and destabilizing your timestream are fortune effects.

Additionally, if your initiative roll result is tied with an opponent's initiative roll, you go first. Your manipulation of time grants you access to a number of abilities, some of which require a saving throw. The DC for these abilities is either your class DC or spell DC, whichever is higher, and is called your chronoskimmer DC.

Special You can't select another dedication feat until you've gained two other feats from the chronoskimmer archetype.

PFS StandardTurn Back the Clock [reaction] Feat 4

Legacy Content

Archetype Concentrate Fortune 
Source Dark Archive pg. 186
Archetype Chronoskimmer
Frequency once per day
Prerequisites Chronoskimmer Dedication
Trigger You fail a skill check or saving throw.

After failing a test of skill, you hop back in your personal timeline so you can try again. You reroll the triggering check with a +1 circumstance bonus as you apply your experience from your last attempt. You must use the new result, even if it's worse than your first roll.

PFS StandardGuide the Timeline [one-action] Feat 6

Legacy Content

Archetype Concentrate 
Source Dark Archive pg. 186
Archetype Chronoskimmer
Frequency once per day
Prerequisites Chronoskimmer Dedication

You know the result you want and subtly nudge the timeline to your intended destination. Choose an ally or a foe. If you choose an ally, the next time within the next round that ally makes an attack roll or skill check, they roll it twice and take the higher result; this is a fortune effect. If you choose a foe, the next time within the next round that foe makes an attack roll or skill check, they must roll twice and take the lower result unless they succeed at a Will save against your chronoskimmer DC; this is a misfortune effect. Regardless of your choice, the target becomes temporarily immune for 24 hours.

PFS StandardReversing Charge [two-actions] Feat 8

Legacy Content

Archetype 
Source Dark Archive pg. 186
Archetype Chronoskimmer
Prerequisites Chronoskimmer Dedication

You dive into the fray before rewinding yourself to safety. Stride up to your Speed. If you end your movement within melee reach of at least one enemy, you can make a melee Strike against that enemy. You then teleport back to the square from which you began your Snapback Charge. You can use Reversing Charge while Burrowing, Climbing, Flying, or Swimming instead of Striding if you have the corresponding movement type.

PFS StandardSuperimpose Time Duplicates [one-action] Feat 8

Legacy Content

Archetype 
Source Dark Archive pg. 186
Archetype Chronoskimmer
Frequency once per hour
Prerequisites Chronoskimmer Dedication

You call alternate versions of yourself, either from a different timeline or perhaps yourself from a different point in your current timeline, to aid you in combat. Until the start of your next turn, these alternate selves flicker in and out in your vicinity, providing flanking for you against all enemies within your reach. Flanking with your time duplicates is the same as flanking with an ally and so is subject to effects like all-around vision or the deny advantage class feature.

PFS StandardBorrow Time [free-action] Feat 10

Legacy Content

Archetype 
Source Dark Archive pg. 186
Archetype Chronoskimmer
Frequency once per minute
Prerequisites Chronoskimmer Dedication
Trigger Your turn begins.

You reach ahead and make use of time that's yet to be. You become quickened and can use the extra action to Step, Stride, or Strike. You gain this extra action immediately and can use it this turn. At the end of your turn, you become stunned 1.

PFS StandardSteal Time [two-actions] Feat 10

Legacy Content

Archetype 
Source Dark Archive pg. 186
Archetype Chronoskimmer
Frequency once per hour
Prerequisites Chronoskimmer Dedication

You reach into another creature's timeline and attempt to alter their flow of time. Select a creature within 30 feet. That creature attempts a Fortitude saving throw against your chronoskimmer DC. The creature takes the effects of slow based on the result of its saving throw.

PFS StandardCombat Premonition Feat 12

Legacy Content

Archetype 
Source Dark Archive pg. 187
Archetype Chronoskimmer
Prerequisites Chronoskimmer Dedication

By narrowing your sense of the future, you can improve that of your allies. When you roll initiative, instead of stabilizing or destabilizing your own timestream, you can grant your allies a flash of insight into their future. Choose two allies. Those allies roll their initiative roll twice and take the better result; this is a fortune effect. You roll your initiative roll twice and take the worse result; this is a misfortune effect. The two effects are tied together: if you would avoid the misfortune effect for any reason, or if any of your allies would negate their fortune effect, your Combat Premonition does nothing.

PFS StandardEscape Timeline [free-action] Feat 12

Legacy Content

Archetype 
Source Dark Archive pg. 187
Archetype Chronoskimmer
Frequency once per day
Prerequisites Chronoskimmer Dedication
Trigger Your turn begins.

You step outside of the flow of time momentarily, allowing you to avoid dangers. Your physical form stops existing momentarily, and you can't be targeted or affected until the start of your next turn—you simply don't exist at that moment in time. Your turn ends immediately, advancing 1 round for all timed durations and effects, such as conditions and afflictions. You still attempt saving throws, flat checks, or any other checks at the end of your turn as normal, but you don't take any damage due to these checks (though you take any non-damaging effects as normal). At the start of your next turn, you reenter the flow of time and reappear in the same space where you left time last round. If the space isn't clear, you arrive in the nearest open space.

PFS StandardSpace-Time Shift [free-action] Feat 12

Legacy Content

Archetype 
Source Dark Archive pg. 187
Archetype Chronoskimmer
Frequency once per 10 minutes
Prerequisites Chronoskimmer Dedication
Trigger Your turn begins.

You travel just a few moments into the future to immediately arrive at your destination. Your Strides are augmented until the end of your turn, allowing you to instantly teleport to any point you could reach with your Stride instead of traversing normally to the location. Your augmented Strides have the teleport trait and don't trigger reactions that can be triggered by move actions or upon leaving or entering a square. You also augment your Burrow, Climb, Fly, or Swim actions in this way if you have the corresponding movement type.

PFS StandardReset the Past [free-action] Feat 14

Legacy Content

Archetype 
Source Dark Archive pg. 187
Archetype Chronoskimmer
Frequency once per day

You manipulate time to recharge one of your temporal techniques—by revising your past so you never used it in the first place. Select one of your chronoskimmer feats that has a frequency of once per day (or more frequent) that you've already used. You can use the feat again, as if you hadn't used it already.
