Time Machines

= Time Machines = Time machines are the ultimate free way for a party to travel through space and time.

Basically, a time machine is a converted space craft with the ability for inter dimensional and time travel.

The process begins with the purchase of a suitable craft, typically one that can navigate into the nether regions of space.

An Arcanist will then need to use “Create Time Machine” and “Create Time Device” in order to outfit it with the appropriate gadgets to allow it to travel through time.

The Monk can contribute a “Babel device” into the machine by casting “Time Machine Translation”. This will allow any incoming transmissions to be automatically translated into the listener’s language.

The Rogue can devise and arm a cloaking and alarm system into the ship by using “Create Cloaking System”, this will prevent others from seeing the ship unless they have “See Invisibility” or a PER of 99 or greater.

The Warrior can arm the ship with defenses and weapons using the “Arm Spaceship” skill.

The distance a time machine can travel in space is based on the craft itself. Thus, if you create your ship out of a canoe, the ship is limited by the Arcanists create Time device skill in its “jumps” however; a space craft which is made to travel long distances can get further, faster.

There is a one-time fee of $1000 to register your time machine with the Time Enforcement and Management agency. Failure to do so could result in a hefty fine and loss of your machine. Also, your time machines logs are subject to scrutiny from this agency, so be careful when doing something illegal (a good spot for forgery?)

Typical costs for registered Time machines is

$200/decade

$200/1000 miles

So a trip to the past 10 years in the same spot would cost you $200 minimum. If you wanted to travel from Chicago to Paris, France (4175 miles) 10 years in the future, the cost would be $1000.

These time machines have a strict limit on where you go and what you are going to do.

Unregistered Time machines are double the cost, but allow you to go and do whatever you wish

Owning your own (registered) time machine saves a LOT of money for missions.
