This miniature hourglass hangs on a thin silver chain. As the sand runs from one bulb to the other, it turns from black to white.

First imagined by skilled temple raiders devoted to Olidammara, the god of rogues, chronocharms of the laughing rogue have found their way into the toolboxes of thieves of all stripes. When you activate this chronocharm, you can immediately reroll a single Disable Device skill check that you just attempted. You can activate this item after the success or failure of the first roll has been determined (even if your failure resulted in accidentally setting off a trap), but before any ramifications of that roll have been applied. The result of second roll replaces the first result.
This ability functions once per day.

CHRONOCHARM

A chronocharm occupies the throat body slot, but it can be worn simultaneously with any number of other chronocharms, which all function normally. However, you can’t wear more than one of the same chronocharm.
You must wear a chronocharm for 24 hours before you can access its abilities.
If it is taken off, it becomes inactive until worn for an additional 24 hours.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, haste.
Cost to Create: 250 gp, 20 XP, 1 day.
