Clockmaker

A clockmaker possesses keen eyesight and flawless dexterity. Using these gifts, they craft clocks and mechanisms of incredible precision. Over time, a clockmaker learns to infuse their creations with magic, allowing them to rewind moments, slow their enemies, and steal precious seconds from fate itself.

Tool Mastery

You gain proficiency with jeweler’s tools.
If you already have proficiency with jeweler’s tools, you instead gain proficiency with one other type of artisan’s tools of your choice.

Temporal Device

When you finish a long rest, you can spend 10 minutes using jeweler’s tools or tinker’s tools to create a temporal device.

The device is a Tiny object that can be worn or held in one hand, such as a watch, belt, or pair of goggles.

While wearing the temporal device, you gain the following benefits:

• You can use the device as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells.

• You always know the exact current time.

• You add your Intelligence modifier to your initiative rolls.

Only you can benefit from your temporal device. If you create a new one after a long rest, the previous device harmlessly vanishes in a puff of smoke.

Temporal Alteration

Your temporal device allows you to bend seconds to your will.

The device has a number of charges equal to your proficiency bonus.

You can expend charges to use one of the following temporal alterations. Regardless of the alteration chosen, using it counts as casting a spell for the purposes of the action economy.

The temporal device regains all expended charges when you finish a long rest.

Once you use a temporal alteration, you can’t use another one until the start of your next turn.

Temporal Alterations

Cost: 1 Charge

Rewind
Reaction (when you see a creature within 60 feet succeed or fail a d20 roll)
You rewind time by a few seconds. The triggering creature rerolls the d20 under the same conditions as before (including advantage or disadvantage) and must use the new result.

---

Rollback
Bonus Action
You rewind yourself to a previous position. You teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet that you occupied earlier during the current turn.

---

Temporal Transfer
Action
You transfer a fragment of your remaining time. One creature you can see within 30 feet immediately takes one action.

---

Cost: 2 Charges

Fast Forward
Action
You jump 6 seconds into the future. You vanish and reappear at the start of your next turn in the nearest unoccupied space to where you disappeared.

---

Pause
Action
Choose one creature you can see within 60 feet. The creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your artificer spell save DC. On a failure, the creature is incapacitated, and its speed becomes 0.

Paradoxical Recharge

Each time you expend a charge from your temporal device, it gains one paradox charge.

If the device has at least one paradox charge, you can use a bonus action to perform a paradoxical recharge, producing the following effects:

• You can’t use Temporal Alteration until the start of your next turn.

• You immediately regain all expended charges of your temporal device.

• Your mind struggles to reconcile converging timelines. Make an Intelligence check with a DC equal to 5 × the number of paradox charges on the device. On a failure, you gain one level of exhaustion.

Whether you succeed or fail, a temporal paradox occurs.

Roll a number of d100s equal to the number of paradox charges on the device, one at a time, and consult the Paradox Effects table. Resolve the effects in the order rolled. After all dice are rolled, the device loses all paradox charges.

You can use this feature twice, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
