Prerequisite: Time Thief or Cityskin Warlock with the motes of time class feature or the Chronothurge Adept feat; see Special, below

Benefit: If any magical attack you make -- or spell, spell-like ability or supernatural ability you use -- would ever outright kill a living corporeal creature within 30 feet of you, you may choose to expend a single mote of time as a free action & reduce your damage by any amount, thus leaving the creature alive; if you choose to do so, your target must succeed at a Fortitude save (see below) or suffer the effects of a special baleful polymorph effect that transforms the target into a dinosaur of your choice (see below).

The saving throw DCs to resist this effect are always equal to 10 + ½ your character level + your Charisma bonus. For every 5 points of damage by which you choose to reduce your final damage, your target suffers a -1 penalty on all of its Will & Fortitude saving throws until the beginning of its next round.

You may transform the target creature into any dinosaur that normally possesses a total number of hit dice equal-to or less than the target’s hit dice. Thus, you could transform any character of 3rd level or higher into a velociraptor, but only a character of 18th level or higher can be transformed into a tyrannosaurus.

You gain no control or command over creatures transformed into dinosaurs with this ability, and most such creatures will be hostile toward you; those of animal intelligence can at least be expected to flee from you (an obvious threat).

Special: This ability may be selected in place of any Temporal Talent.
