==Tempus Paragon==
A Tempus paragon is a wise nomad, a titan in the mist, and a traveler from beyond the horizon. A Tempus paragon is to a Tempus as a saint is to the average man. They rise up amongst their people as saviors, leaders, and prophets, leading them through the wastes, to food, to new worlds. Tempus paragons are true bastions of unending patience and limitless wisdom in this universe.
===Making a Tempus Paragon===
Tempus Paragons are bastions of defense, guidance, and wisdom, who can stand against even the most unrelenting force, and stand their ground, never once flinching, never once faltering. They can spot enemies hiding in the shadows with ease and let their friends know without ever saying a word, withstand even the most intense storms without thinking twice, and shrug off terrible effects as though they knew they were coming. These facts tend to drive a Tempus paragon into becoming a leader, a defender, a savior, almost all the time.
'''Abilities:''' The most important ability score to a Tempus paragon is [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]], for they need it to focus their defenses best. Past that comes [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]], [[SRD:Strength|Strength]], [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]], [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]], and [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]], all for different reasons. Some to help defend the Tempus paragon himself, some to help him guide his people better.
'''Races:''' [[Tempus (3.5e Race)|Tempus]] only.
'''Alignment:''' Any.

====Class Features====
All of the following are class features of the Tempus Paragon.
'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' A Tempus paragon is proficient with all [[SRD:Simple Weapon Proficiency|simple]] and [[SRD:Martial Weapon Proficiency|martial weapons]] but with no armor, though they are proficient with [[SRD:Shield Proficiency|shields]] (not including [[SRD:Tower Shield Proficiency|tower shields]]).
'''{{Anchor|Patience}}:''' A Tempus paragon is a nonpareil of everlasting patience, and he is able to simply weather even the most brutal attacks because of this. A Tempus paragon can, a number of times per day equal to his [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]] modifier, take 10 on a [[SRD:Saving Throw#Will|Will save]].
'''{{Anchor|Perception}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' A Tempus paragon is accustom to wandering in the shadows, and leading his people to safety. At first level, a Tempus paragon's [[SRD:Darkvision|darkvision]] doubles in range. In addition, the [[SRD:DC|DC]] for any [[SRD:Spot Skill|spot]] or [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]] checks the Tempus paragon makes is divided by two.
'''{{Anchor|Endure}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' A Tempus paragon is a being who can withstand the most terrible heat, and the harshest cold of space. At second level a Tempus paragon is considered always under the effect of an ''[[SRD:Endure Elements|endure elements]]'' spell.
'''{{Anchor|Telepathy}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At second level, a Tempus paragon gains the ability to communicate telepathically with any other creature within 100 feet of him.
'''{{Anchor|Unending Endurance}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Tempus paragon's barely ever need to eat or drink, and can survive for a seeming eternity. A Tempus paragon can survive without water for 1 year plus a number of extra years equal to his [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] score (not modifier). Additionally, a Tempus paragon can go without food for a number of years equal to 3 × his [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] score (not modifier). Also, if a Tempus paragon finds the need to begin making [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] checks to resist starvation, he only needs to do so once every five hours, instead of every hour. See [[SRD:Environment#Starvation and Thirst|Starvation and Thirst]] for more details.
'''{{Anchor|Ability Boost}} ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' At third level, a Tempus paragon’s [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]] score increases by 2 points.
'''{{Anchor|Paradigm}}:''' At third level a Tempus paragon reaches a point where he truly embodies the power of his lost race, and can actually lead them out of the dust and the darkness at long last. At this point, the Tempus paragon gains a [[Xenotheric (3.5e Creature Subtype)#Bio-Energy|bio-energy]] pool, and is permitted to take xenotheric feats. Additionally, they gain immunity to [[SRD:Poison|poison]], [[SRD:Fatigued|fatigue]], [[SRD:Polymorph|polymorphing]], petrification and form-altering effects as well as resistance to [[SRD:Acid Effect|acid]] 10 and [[SRD:Electricity Effect|electricity]] 10. As normal they do not possess an extraplanar or native subtype.
