Lets do the time warp again

(Character related post!)

Mr. Dm, this is more or less a quick idea drop for you. I know you think that the Gift of Chronepsis is a bit over the top for our level. Agreed. I thought i'd share on some of my ideas, even though you have your own no doubt!

I figure that since we went into the fey wild, the time magic may have dwindled significantly, which would justify us losing the gift. Perhaps using the time altering effects in the fey wild used up all the dragons borrowed magic. So, if nothing else you have easy justification to why it would fade away.

I was also thinking you could weaken the effect. Instead of a reroll for anything, we could get a daily that let us re roll a single skill check we are trained in. It could be like a quick reversal of time to get things right, or make things worse. This way you'd stay away from saves and attack rolls, since thats a little over the top for our level. It would still be useful too, especially on skill challenges that we are familiar with. So though it wouldnt give us a hand in most battles, it would give us a hand in situations we are already familiar with.

I was also thinking it could be a daily that effected initiative, since thats the most time related variable we have. Basically as a daily reaction to rolling initiative for allies (before enemies roll) you could use the gift of Chronepsis to effect your initiative die roll by one point, either plus or minus. This would allow players that rolled a tie on there initiative to save there result. you could not use this effect to tie a result so both people could reroll. (I know someone would try it).

Ok, thought i'd just drop those your way since i was thinking about it last night.
