Chronomancer Prestige Class 5e
Background
First off, yes, this is a much different post than some of the ones that I have previously written. Regular readers will note that I typically write about data and 9-1-1 centers. This is a much different and, hopeful, more fun post. I’ve played Dungeons & Dragons since I was a pre-teen and have played every version of it from the red box set through 5e. My wife has also played D&D for a little longer than I. We have both had a lot of fun with this over the years. This post was started by a conversation my wife and I had earlier when discussing someone we both know working in security and how he was unaware that I had worked in security years ago when I first graduated from university the first time. During that time, I worked a post at a grocery store distribution center and during my rounds, I carried a large clock that was used to prove that rounds have been completed. It consisted of a clock face with a tape spool inside and a keyhole where a key on the wall was inserted and typed against the tape.
As we discussed what I used to do as a security guard, we started laughing about how the clock could have been used as a weapon had I encountered anyone. The thing was heavy enough to crack someone’s skull with a solid blow. It weighed about 3 almost 4 kilos and could be considered a little heavier than a war hammer. So we started discussing what the damage would look like in D&D terms. That then led to my wife suggesting a subclass of a wizard and I came up with the name of Chronomancer. So here is our version of it to be used in a 5e setting. Yes, we do know that others have thought of this as well. You can use it if you wish, or not
Chronomancer
The Chronomancer is a subclass of Wizard. So in this instance, you would have to have a few levels of Wizard and have the ability subclass in your campaign. We’ve considered this as a prestige class. These would be wizards who are obsessed with time, using it, controlling it, changing it. It could be for any reason, the desire for immortality, time saved them from a bad situation, etc.
