Astrochronometer
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)
Time within the Astral Plane is often described as ‘wishy-washy, timey-wimey’ by astral kobolds, or as ‘temporally impeded’ by the more technically minded star gnomes. What they mean is that it’s really, really slow. By creating a pocket of the astral plane around one’s person, one can effectively suspend the effects of time on one’s body.
While wearing this watch, you age 1,000 times slower, you don’t need to sleep (although you can only engage in light activity in order to benefit from a long rest), and you have advantage on checks and saving throws made to avoid exhaustion. It can also be used to tell the current time in whatever plane you’re in.
Temporal Bubble. The Astrochronometer has an experimental feature; it can generate a bubble of suspended time. Unfortunately, this bubble is prone to collapse which can have… unintended consequences. As an action you can attempt to cast the time stop spell. When you do so, roll a d6. On a 1–3 , the bubble collapses, you are affected by the slow spell for 1d4 + 1 turns, and you can’t use this property again until the following dawn. If you roll a 1, you age by a number of years equal to one tenth of your race’s normal lifespan. On a 4–6, the spell is cast successfully and you can’t use this property again for a number of days equal to the number of turns for which time was stopped.
Uncommon variant: Remove the Temporal Bubble feature, and remove the slowed aging.
