Very cool stuff. Had a big smile on my face reading Butterfly Effect and I laughed out loud when "Omund" recited his mission — what a fun sci-fi twist to bring to Orden! I like the flavor of the other traits too, although mechanically they're not super distinct other than Temporal Anomaly, which I love. Very cool, evocative entry!
A really well executed and readable entry. You also left a lot the feel for their type of time traveller up to the player. Well done.
A creative entry to be sure! Personally I'm less of a fan of the timescape stuff in my fantasy rpgs, so it didn't really do mich for me personally in that regard, but it certainly is a cool idea. I particularly liked the fiction. Praise be the Iron Saints? What does it mean? What happened in this timeline? I need to know more! :D
Similarly to Dima, my initial reaction was figuring a complication would better than an ancestry—but you've got a solid submission here! Interesting approach to the concept, excellent names for the traits, and the mechanics feel on point for a time traveler. Well done.
That's an interesting approach to making a time traveller character option—making it an ancestry. A complication would make more sense to me, but sure, this also works. It's certainly usable. I like Temporal Anomaly (I imagine that thing that happens to Loki in Season 2), though it's too cool an option not to pick it if I already decided to play a time traveler.
If think this ancestry is already usable as is in game. One thing you should consider is to give it 1 more ancestry point if the previous ancestry is 1S. I am worried that Temporal Anomaly might be a bit too strong, on par with classes triggered actions while ancestry triggers ususally are a little less powerful.
Big fan of this. it's simple and a lot of fun.
I don't have much feedback at all. This is a very flavorful, fun and balanced ancestry. My favorites are butterfly effect, the mechanic reinforces the fantasy. As well as I will have learnt about that, for the same reason. Well done!
