So wait, you're telling me I could just be walking down the street, minding my own business, when some jerkass wizard from another universe merges our realities or whatever to heal my doppelganger? I'm out 6 HP because of some guy who doesn't live in my universe and I don't even like got hurt?

I'm imagining as a consequence to doing this all the time, eventually the wizard is going to have a class action lawsuit against them from all the innocent bystanders they've hurt. And just imagine the legal complexity of serving all these suits across different universe' legal codes. This wizard's going to be bogged down for an eternity in the courts.

In all the multiverse, there's got to be someone who specializes in parallel-universe case law. A Parallelalegal, if you will.

Hot take: I can't stand the word "dunamancy". I don't care for critical role, so maybe it's justified somehow (or maybe just if someone I liked said it a lot I'd learn to let it go), but as it is, it hate it. It's not duna/dyna- (physical force or potential energy) it's not a -mancy (a form of divination), and it sounds like a cringelord teenager's invented name for sand magic. Plus now that it's canonized, I have to argue with every group I run for that my setting doesn't subscribe to the many-worlds theory and that is not an acceptable flavour for their magic in my game.

Anyway to answer the question, I once saw a class entirely reflavoured from top to bottom as a Chronomancer. You probably think it was a wizard or a warlock or something, but no, it was the Battle Master Fighter.

Weapon/armour proficiency and extra ASIs were because they did extra training in a personal timeloop. Second Wind was a short personal rewind, Action Surge was a personal fast-forward. Most of their maneuvers were various manipulations of time; rewinding themself to parry, slowing the enemy for precision strike, looping themself for feinting strike, rewinding an ally for rally.

I don't remember all the flavour, but god dang it was cool.

Good take.

Also that chrono legionare is super flavourful!
