Know Age

At a DC of 13, you can determine the age of an object or creature you can see. This is defined as the time since birth, for creatures, or time since the object was meaningfully transformed from raw materials into its current form, for objects.

At a DC of 15 or more, you can instead gain a more complex breakdown of an object's history. Each major change for an object, such as repositioning, change of ownership, major repairs or damage, etc, becomes a new period in that object's life. You can learn the timing and changes for the last 3 of those, plus 1 per point above DC 15.

Retroflection

At a DC of 15, you can view the past of a location or object, up to 1 hour ago. At higher DC, you can rewind further:

DC Time Ago
15 1 hour
17 1 day
19 1 week
21 1 month
23 1 year
25 10 years
27 100 years
29 1000 years

Time Hop

At-will, std, ranged; target teleports forward in time, ceasing to exist in the Universe until the end of the duration, at which point they reappear in the same location, unchanged, having experienced no time at all. If unwilling, target can make a Charisma save to negate.

DC Duration
17 1 round
19 1 minute
21 1 hour
23 1 day
25 1 week
27 1 month
29 1 year
+2 x10

The Path Not Taken

Replace yourself with a version of you from an alternate timeline, who has made different choices. TBD

Higher DC = more control of the exact version of you.

Random chance = likelihood of a beneficial version of you being chosen, vs hostile or indifferent versions of you.
