They have the ability to find the mage regardless of the time where he exists and will appear out of nearby corners to destroy him. This rote is named for the legendary paradox beings the Hounds of Tindalos, which ruthlessly hunt down mages who interfere with Time. It cannot tell why or where something happened. This can, for example, be used to find out when a building was built or when a clock stopped. The mage will feel when he gets closer to the right time as the "scent" gets stronger. Whether you cast an at-will, per-battle, or daily spell, you cast it at the spell level shown on the spell progression table.The mage concentrates and tries to feel when something happened (or will happen) by imagining it and different times it might have happened. You don’t have to choose the specific spell until your turn. For example, if there are 12 icons in your game, assign a number to each icon and roll a d12. Immediately roll a die to determine which icon’s spells you’ll have to choose from. Iconic: The next chaos mage spell you cast during the battle must be an iconic spell.Defense: The next chaos mage spell you cast during the battle must be a defense spell, but you won’t have to choose the spell until your turn.Attack: The next chaos mage spell you cast during the battle must be an attack spell, but you won’t have to choose the spell until your turn.At the end of the battle, refill the bag.
Instead, refill the bag with the other six stones and draw. When there is one stone left in the bag, don’t draw it. You usually do this when you roll initiative at the start of a battle, at the end of your turn (to set up the spell you can cast during your next turn), or as required during your turn if you somehow get an extra standard action.Įach stone you draw should be set aside so that each turn you draw from a smaller pool of stones. You draw a stone from the bag to determine the next type of spell you’ll be able to cast. If you’d rather use dice instead of stones in a bag, use a d6 1-2 is attack, 3-4 is defense, 5-6 is iconic. Put two of each color into the bag, then assign one color to attack, one color to defense, and the last color to iconic.
You’ll also need a bag (or cup) to put them in and draw them from. Since the category of magic spells you’ll cast is randomly chosen, you’ll need 6 “stones” (gems, beads, poker chips, or whatever you like) of three different colors-two stones for each color. Chaos MagicĬhaos magic has three main categories of spells: attack, defense, and iconic. You have a limited number of daily and once-per-battle spells, so each turn you must decide whether to use one of the powerful spells in the category you’re casting from or whether you’ll stick with an at-will spell.Ĭhaos mages are not allowed to cast rituals. The category of spell you’ll cast on your turn is randomly decided, but you get to decide how many of your resources you’ll use. Instead, a chaos mage of a given level can access all the spells in a category that are their level or lower. Unlike wizards and clerics, chaos mages don’t choose the spells they know.
