→Chaos Sword: Link-making and Diamond Mind notes
The Chaos Sword is one of the seven legendary Chaos Weapons, made by the Chaos Emeralds to assist heroes. Despite the name, they are usable by characters of any good alignment. (Neutral characters will find the Chaos Weapons slipping out of their hands, and evil characters will just get blasted away.) Each of the Chaos Emeralds controls a pair of attributes, and their corresponding Chaos Weapons share those attributes. The Chaos Sword was borne of the purple Chaos Emerald, and its attributes are '''time''' and '''darkness'''.
The Chaos Sword works best in the hands of a paladin, fighter, or time walker. The abilities of the Chaos Sword stack with the abilities of the time walker wherever they overlap, enabling the time walker to get even more use out of his abilities. The paladin will enjoy the Charisma, Wisdom, and Strength boosts, while the fighter will find this weapon extremely useful on the front lines (he'll likely appreciate the Dexterity boost, as will a ranger). Practitioners of the Diamond Mind discipline also find that the Chaos Sword fits naturally with their capabilities (and the fact that the Chaos Sword is a katana makes the synergy between weapon and discipline even stronger).
=== Abilities of the Chaos Sword ===
*+3 enhancement bonus to [[SRD:Strength|Strength]]
*+10 ft. bonus to all movement speeds
*Ability to enter the [[Time Walker (3.5e Class)#Flow of Time|flow of time]], just like a [[Time Walker (3.5e Class)|time walker]], 5 times per day, gaining +8 [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] (in addition to the enhancement bonus already provided), +8 [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]], and the ability to reroll any die once per round for a number of rounds equal to 4 + your (newly improved) Wisdom bonus. The Chaos Sword's ability to enter the flow of time can be used in place of a time walker's, essentially allowing him to use the ability 5 more times per day (he uses his own flow of time bonuses if they are better than the Chaos Sword's).
*[[SRD:Fast Healing|Fast healing]]/3
*Delaying strike (works the same way as the [[Time Walker (3.5e Class)|time walker's]] [[Time Walker (3.5e Class)#Delay|delaying strike]])*Temporal strike (works the same way as the [[Time Walker (3.5e Class)|time walker's]] [[Time Walker (3.5e Class)#Temporal Strike|temporal strike]], temporal distortion bonus equals half your character level plus any temporal distortion bonus you may have from class levels)
*The Chaos Sword has 50 charges, which renew themselves at every new dawn. These charges are used for the Chaos Sword's spell-like abilities. The Chaos Sword's caster level is 40, but you may use your own caster level instead if it is higher. Any spell-like abilities which mimic psionic powers cannot be augmented. Spell-like abilities which mimic maneuvers can be used repeatedly, with no need to refresh, as long as sufficient charges remain; without enough charges, the spell-like ability cannot be used at all. With the Chaos Sword in hand, you can use these abilities:
**[[SRD:True Strike|''True Strike'']]: 1 charge/use
