Paradox
A mysterious and feared frontline warrior, the Paradox Fighter has mastered the art of summoning the fading shades of unrealised timelines to aid them in battle. Surrounded by echoes of their own might, they charge into the fray as a cycling swarm of shadows and strikes.

Manfest Paradox
Cost: 15 Character Points
Prerequisite: Combat Superiority
Actions: 1
You can magically manifest a paradoxical copy of yourself in an unoccupied space that you can see within 15 feet of you. This paradox is a magical, translucent, grey image of you that lasts until it is destroyed, you dismiss it (no action required), you manifest another echo, or you’re incapacitated.
Your paradox has defenses matching your own, 1 stamina and immunity to all conditions. It is the same size as you and occupies its space. If your image is ever more than 30 feet from you at the end of your turn, then it is destroyed.
You can use your paradox in the following ways:
- Whenever you take the Stride action, you may instead move your paradox.
- Whenever you take Strike action, that Strike may originate from your space or from your paradox’s space.
- Creatures moving near your paradox provoke an Attack of Opportunity, as though you were occupying that space.
- As an action, you can teleport, magically swapping places with your paradox.

You can temporarily transfer your consciousness to your paradox.
You can see through your paradox’s eyes and hear through its ears. During this time, you are deafened and blinded. You can sustain this effect for up to 10 minutes and you can end it at any time (no action required). While your paradox is being used in this way, it can be up to 1,000 feet away from you without being destroyed.
Shadow Martyr
Cost: 30 Character Points
Prerequisite: Paradoxical Avatar
You can make your paradox throw itself in front of an attack directed at another creature that you can see. You can Guard an ally up to 30 feet away using your paradox. If the guarded ally is hit, your paradox takes the damage instead.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

You can create two co-existing paradoxes with your Manifest Paradox feature. If you try to create a third paradox, the previous two paradoxes are destroyed. Anything that you can do from one paradox’s position can be done from the other’s.
