[PF] Infinite Time Stop
« on: January 01, 2023, 05:08:42 PM »
Does anyone else have more ways to pull an infinite Time Stop off? I've got two so far.

METHOD ONE:
We'll start with the most basic one.Simple and effective. Go rest up and recover spell slots, unless you're a divine spellcaster who needs a specific time of day to recharge spells, but then you can use 2 9th level Pearls of Power or Runestones of Power with your infinite time to recharge everything. Simple and potent. As a bonus point lifespan doesn't matter inside a timeless demiplane either and while normally the difference in time between your timeless plane and the outer world makes you age to death, here it wouldn't because no time passes by. With some means of applying Extend Spell (Magical Lineage magic trait, Runekeeper PrC, Greater Metamagic Rod of Extend Spell, etc.) and infinite magic you can probably also use a fresh Time Stop to hop outside your demiplane for a turn or two, do something, hop back in, and refresh. You can also use the timeless plane for unending Paragon Surge to get any of the item crafting feats to craft all the magic items you want while you're at it.

METHOD TWO:
Also pretty easy, but requires 10 mythic tiers:And that's about the size of it. You can't rest but you still recover everything that recovers every day without rest. The only issue here, provided you fulfill the prerequisite, is to avoid aging to death. Presumably you have a Miracle or Wish up your sleeves to give yourself a Cyclic Reincarnation or something (or perhaps you just have Cyclic Reincarnation) while you convert infinite time into infinite money. You can also bring up to 5 other people into the Time Stop with you.

could you use Temporal Regression restart a Time Stop, if you cast it early in the Time Stop?

Seems like you can, as Time Stop's duration would be counted as a condition. And you can also activate Temporal Regression with a casting of Shades (which is obtainable on any 9th level spellcaster with a level of Veiled Illusionist). But it will cost you a standard action (or swift with a greater metamagic rod of quicken spell) and another standard action. Still very potent for chicanery like using a greater metamagic rod of Extend Spell and casting Temporal Regressions to keep resetting the Time Stop duration. if you really want to get crazy duration, you can use a Magical Lineage magic trait or a level of Runeguard PrC for the Zeal rune and apply Blissful Spell to a Wizard with preferably 10 levels of Magaambyan Arcanist PrC. The Blissful spell gives it the good descriptor, the Magaambyan Arcanist PrC adds 10 rounds of duration to your good descriptor spell, and the extend spell metamagic doubles it up, so you have at least 24 rounds of duration, but at this stage you really don't need Temporal Regressions as you have enough duration already.
