Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Utilizing the ability to exude your will on people in the surrounding area, an acolyte of Temporis can turn Clotho’s Gift outward into the immediate area to foes and allies alike. However as with all Temporis the cost is far more taxing than using such a gift on yourself. This power was discovered by an individual during great times of duress and danger. Often needing to save others as much as himself, or give his enemies momentary pause.

System: Spend a willpower trait and engage in a mass social challenge against those within your Majesty’s radius you wish to affect. All within your radius must participate in this challenge relenting is not an option. (Or Stand Against the World, Faith and Fire). If successful they may then cause each individual target to become suspended in time for one action. Each action you suspend in this fashion causes one level of unsoakable lethal damage to you. Thus if you attempt to suspend 3 targets for 1 action that round, it will cause 3 levels of lethal damage to you. Attempting to slow down or suspend time for use of this power is an action.

While suspended the target can not be harmed or affected in any way. Fire ceases to burn them, physical objects do not interact with them, they are temporarily removed from the time stream. This can be useful in saving a burning ally or pausing an enemy to set up a better ambush. Powers such as Celerity, Rage, Time Magic may make controlling an individual and shutting them down for a turn difficult, but you may take additional lethal on a one for one basis per action against those targets. All follow up actions will still happen as they all move at the same “time”.

If Clothos Gift or Time Magics that remove one from the time stream are used on persons under the effect of Illustrious Infinity they are shunted from the time stream and able to affect each other normally while everyone else in the area is unable to affect them.
