I'm impressed - this doesn't just upgrade the monk, it takes it in a whole new direction! Plus, time effects are awesome (though I might be a little bit biased when I say that). Good job.

Time Travelling

Paradox keeps you from changing the past? This is a tragedy. --Foxwarrior (talk) 03:27, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Lawl, yes. It's a bit of a DM's paw in there, and the class is unquantifiable as the DM gets to decide exactly how much alteration is too much. So you can change it, just not in any serious way.
That said some others thought of a good way of using it... going to the past to learn information to use in the present. Or altering the past in such a way as things aren't changed, such as stealing the missing McGuffian seconds before it was supposed to vaporize. Either way, McGuffian is gone in the past changing nothing. And then you muck about in the present. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 04:03, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
Probably, I'd prefer it if you could choose to push back against the Paradox in order to force your changes to happen, at the cost of utterly destroying your character. That way you could use it as a "time to end this campaign and start an alternate history campaign with more sensibly leveled characters" button. --Foxwarrior (talk) 04:10, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
Ha ha ha. I'll leave that up to a McGuffian of Paradox Negation, but not a bad idea. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 04:23, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
I'd personally only invoke Paradox as a DM if said change caused one. I'd also incorporate that thing from 12 Monkeys where, if an object from the future touches itself, it doesn't launch anything through time, but should they remain in contact for about 20 seconds, the past version makes out alright, but the future one basically goes bag of holding meets portable hole, but bigger. Like a time grenade. But yeah, if they changed something that produced an unanswerable question like "If you killed Joseph with his favorite sword before he started smithing, then where did you get it?", then I'd totally whip 'em for it, but I see no reason they couldn't change the past. Gives me more story to work with. -SecondDeath777 05:50, 28 January 2018

Plane of Time?[edit]

Could you...make this? Like, fully detailed? I'm very curious to see its properties. -SecondDeath777 03:29, 14 March 2018

No need, it exists. Check the Manual of the Planes p208. I probably should refer to its actual name, the Temporal Energy Plane. Its a realm of silvery sand blowing about, and 40k Warp time shinanigans. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 09:46, 14 March 2018 (MDT)
