• Like other Specialists, have one extra spell slot at each spell level. This slot has to be an Chronomancy Spell.

Learn Spells Roll

• The learn spells roll can be found by looking up the Intelligence Ability Score table. Chronomancers will adjust this value depending on the spell:
  • +10% chance when learning a chronomancy spell
  • -25% chance when learning spells from other schools.

Starting Spells

• At 1st-level the spell book contains 3d4 1st-level spells.
  • 2 of the starting spells must be read magic and detect magic
  • 1 of the starting spells can be of the Chronomancer's specialty (1st level spell only) without making a learn spells roll.
  • The rest of the starting spells can be chosen from universal magic spells (1st level spell only) without making a learn spells roll. Or make learn spells rolls for non-universal magic spells.
  • The DM may assign a spell list instead to start with.

Learning New Spells

• Can only learn spells of a level for which you have spell slots.
• Can learn a spell from another's spell book with a learn spells roll.
• Gain 1 spell when leveling up. This spell should be in the Chronomancer's specialty if possible.
  • There are exceptions to this rule, such as the Elementalist, who doesn't gain a free spell at level up.
• The maximum number of spells you can learn per level can be found out by looking up the Intelligence Ability Score table.

Casting Spells

• A wizard cannot just cast any spell they have learned. They must memorize these spells into appropriate spell slots ahead of time.
• Chronomancers may memorize one additional spell per spell level, provided the spell selected belongs to the specialist's school.
• The wizard can only cast spells that they have memorized. The wizard cannot cast that spell again once cast, until they return to their spell book and memorizes it again.
• A wizard cannot choose to forget a memorized spell to replace it with another one. They can, however, cast a spell just to cleanse his mind for another spell.

Special Resistances

• The usual saving-throw bonus chronomancers would receive against their own school is cancelled.
  • Any non-chronomancer hit by a chronomantic spell still saves at a -1 penalty, though.
