Future Perfect

Starting at 1st level, you can simulate and peer into possible
futures. As a bonus action, you can choose a skill and roll a
d20. If you make an ability check using that skill before the
end of your current turn, you use that roll.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier, regaining all expended uses when you
finish a long rest.

Crack the Hourglass

Starting at 6th level, you can use your reaction when you take
damage to rewind your timestream. You take no damage,
ignoring any effects that might accompany that damage, and
teleport up to your speed to an unoccupied space that you've
occupied since the start of your last turn.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.

Splintered Mind

By 10th level, your mind's operations have been significantly
altered by your patron. You can't be charmed by magic.

Additionally, your perceptions are fragmented across
multiple timelines. You can't be surprised while you are
conscious, and you have advantage on initiative rolls.
