Description
While burning cadmium, the pulser creates a "bubble" of distorted time around themself effectively slowing down time for events inside the bubble as seen from the outside. The bubble is a sphere that includes creatures and objects within 20 feet of a chosen corner of the pulser's square. Every round inside the bubble amounts to 8 rounds outside. This works by all creatures inside the bubble taking their turn in accordance with the current initiative order followed by all creatures outside taking theirs 8 times. (e.x. turn order between 4 people organized A,B,C,D with A and C inside the bubble becomes A,C,B,D,B,D,B,D,B,D,B,D,B,D,B,D,B,D) Any creature entering the bubble takes no further action until the following round inside the bubble. Melee attacks cannot be made across the bubble. Any ranged projectile attack crossing the surface of the bubble is redirected in a random direction. Roll a d% against a 10% chance the projectile targets the original with the same bonus to hit, otherwise repeat the process for each other creatures within 10 feet starting with the creatures closest to the target. For effects traveling out of the bubble, treat non-full-round-actions as resolving on either the 4th or 8th round outside the bubble depending on whether or not a standard or move action was taken prior to performing the action. For full-round-actions, divide the attacks of a full attack action according to the table below and all other effects resolve on the 8th round. When the bubble is made, that point in the initiative cycle is treated as the beginning of round for how turns are distributed and is when in the initiative cycle that actions across the bubble are resolved. For actions that resolve after the target has moved, if it require an attack roll to hit it is treated as a ranged projectile crossing the bubble starting with the nearest creature within 10 feet of where the target was. For all other actions that resolve after the target has moved, the effect still targets the same creature or object as normal so long as the target can still be targeted. (Is in range and has line of sight for most abilities.) If a pulser leaves their bubble it is popped, ending the effect.
