Time Bend

Time bend [minor] by Iczer

'What does your vaunted speed matter against a man who folds time itself.'

The character can bend time to hinder faster foes. As an action, the character can simply flicker through 15 seconds, causing all those around him to flicker with him. This effectively ends the current melee round of combat. For those affected (all targets within 60 feet), time marches on, but the ability to act vanishes. Effects that have durations continue as usual, and so the character can continue to flicker through the rounds waiting for effects to end.
Those immune to time manipulations, as well as those outside the affected area, see the area flicker and shimmer. Attempting to attack one of the flickering targets requires a strike roll at -8 to succeed.
