Dimension of Time.

Stride. If you have an appropriate Speed, you can add
Burrow,
Climb,

Swim to this list. While you take these actions, time pauses. All other creatures are completely unaware of your actions, can’t speak, and can’t use any actions that would be triggered by your movements. While you’re taking these actions, you can’t take any other actions, including any that would be triggered by the move actions. Once the actions are complete, time starts again, and to onlookers, you seem to have suddenly teleported across the distance you traveled.
