The Chronomancer slightly speeds up all the Jacks while moving around the dream.
All Allied Jacks gain + 5 DU base move distance, this also means that you will generally reach places faster than an occupant that is going to the same place and left at the same time.
The power of hindsight allows the Chronomancer to have always been prepared.
Once per scene, swap your trinket as though you had brought it in the first place. Split second ability.
The Chronomancer can backtrack the party's timeline placing them where they have previously stood.
The party may teleport back to places they have previously been in the dream as long as they are not in rounds.
The Chronomancer had mastered the art of operating faster than everyone else in the dream.
Every round, you may do double what you usually can. Eg move twice, use and ability and use an attack.
The Chronomancer now adapts every scene to a time period of their liking.
At the start of every scene, the Chronomancer may move the scene forward or back in time to adjust the setting, the effects of this are decided on by the GM and the players.

Tips for playing as the
Chronomancer
The Chronomancer is a specialisation that is very good at supporting other members of the party but is not independently strong. Your Abilities are where most of your power comes from so be wary when you start running out of abilities to use. Dream weaving can be useful to try to do minor slowing or speeding and some minor aging or de-aging stuff so use it when you are out of abilities.

Play a Chronomancer if you enjoy helping out your party while controlling the battlefield.
