The keepers of Time can slow the hands of fate. activating this charm, the Sidereal slows time around her to aid her defense against ranged attacks. Arrows, thrown weapons, and other ranged attacks visibly slow down as they approach her, making them much easier to dodge. Add the Sidereal’s Archery rating to her Dodge and Parry DVs against all ranged attacks. Also, ranged attacks do not generate DV penalties while this charm is active (though DV penalties from other sources still apply.) Note that the slowing of these projectiles does not remove their force or momentum, a successful hit against the Sidereal does the same damage as normal.
The Hours keyword means only the Chosen of Hours, should any exist, may learn this charm without a teacher. Even other characters who have archery as an auspicious or favoured ability may not do so. Also, there is a 1-mote surcharge on the use of any charm with the Hours keyword by anyone who is not a Chosen of Pluto. Should Pluto be fully healed, this keyword will no longer exist.
