#1 swxpert Aug 12, 2009 18:01:10	do any classes in 4ed have powers that stop time or anything like that, basically anything connected to time in any way.
#2 salla Aug 12, 2009 18:02:28	Wizards have Time Stop. I think that's about it.
#3 misterfido_dup Aug 12, 2009 18:05:42	Otherwise, beyond Time Stop, you're actually probably looking at A) psionics (psionics used to deal a lot with time in 3.5, and they're updating it) or B) rituals. I can imagine a paragon or epic-level Time Portal ritual, maybe only as a scroll. Or things of that nature.
#4 Titanium_Dragon Aug 12, 2009 18:53:54	You could always flavor your use of an AP as this.
#5 nachtsieger Aug 12, 2009 19:30:30	Wizards have a level 27 Encounter Spell that stuns a creature and hands you an extra standard action called Steal Time.
#6 kouk Aug 12, 2009 19:35:38	Not exactly time alteration, but some powers transport either you, a friend, or an enemy to a different plane. While there they are disconnected from the world and can take certain actions (or no actions).

(and by the way, between tome of readiness, opal ring, and phoenix ring - it's a NASTY combination) Other than that there are a bunch that can be nicely reflavored. Note: he was built with some quirks (he's a linguist, for one) so not everything is purely time related. stats ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== Wil, level 30 Human, Wizard, Academy Master, Lorekeeper Build: Control Wizard Arcane Implement Mastery: Tome of Readiness Second Implement: Orb of Imposition Lorekeeper's Revelation: Time Stop Lorekeeper's Revelation: Clever Escape Quickened Spellcasting: Ray of Frost Background: Occupation - Scholar (+2 to Arcana) FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 12, Con 13, Dex 12, Int 28, Wis 22, Cha 10.

Enhancement Bonus: Attack Rolls and Damage Power Daily(Immediate Interrupt): Use this power when an enemy strikes you or an ally within 5 squares, The Target's entire turn is reversed and is reset as it was when it started its turn, the target is dazed until the end of its next turn.
#9 veritascitor Aug 13, 2009 3:11:59	I'm betting you could easily reflavour any power you like to make it time-related in some way. For example, just to start with some wizard powers: Cloud of Daggers -> You created a localized disturbance in space/time that causes damage to all those who enter it. (Most force powers can be explained this way). Thunderwave -> You create a time-funnel in front of you, sucking in air at an accelerrated rate, and compressing it. By collapsing the funnel back into normal space/time, the compressed air is blasted forward. (Most thunder powers can be explained this way). Ray of Frost -> You create a beam of slow-time. To the outside world, the air particles within this beam have cooled to incredibly cold temperatures. (Most cold powers can be explained this way). Alternatively, you create a small portal between the present and the ends of time, where the universe is dead and the temperature is near absolute zero. Ray of Enfeeblement -> You hyper-accellerate the life processes in your target's body. He's temporarily weakened as he ages a day in a matter of seconds. (Most necrotic powers can be explained this way). Flaming Sphere -> You conjure up a roving portal to the beginnings of time (the Big Bang, the first day of creation, whatever), and let some of that energy burst out into the present. (Most fire powers can be explained this way). Etc, etc, etc. Hrm, come to think of it, this is kinda neat. I may have to make my next character a time-mage.
#10 Alas Aug 13, 2009 8:49:21	Another area ripe for temporal-themed refluffing is summoning. The time mage could be in two places at once (certainly puts a neat spin on the healing surge loss), or plucking warriors from history. Hm-- I'd also look for powers that slow targets, allow teleportation or shifting, or grant interrupts or initiative bonuses. Those all lend themselves nicely to timey-wimey explanations. As for developing new time-based powers... the obstacle there is that the economy of actions in 4th edition D&D is a critical part of the framework. Any suite of powers that really messes around with initiative, turns, and rounds like we'd expect of a time mage has the potential to be disproportionately game altering. I do think there's room in the system for such powers (for instance, I think it'd be neat to have powers that require multiple actions to execute), but they'd certainly require a bit more caution then, say, introducing just another lightning-based blast.
