Has anyone tried out an Oracle with the Time mystery yet? It looks quite promising. It gets Perception and UMD as class skills, which is very nice. Perception is the most-used skill in the game, and UMD coupled with the Oracle's high Cha should allow you to use any item you want. You could even get arcane spell scrolls and then make them Permanent since you get Permanency as one of your bonus spells.
Contingency looks like another very powerful option. It's good enough for an arcane caster, but a divine caster can use it with things like Heal or Breath of Life. Memory Lapse could be useful in roleplaying situations. I'm not sure why they get Disintegrate, but I can certainly think of worse spells to get. Temporal Stasis is a crappy spell, but Time Stop more than makes up for it. Again, this spell is arguably even better for a divine caster than an arcanist. 1d4 rounds of free time to heal, buff and summon? Yes!
The revelations look pretty nice too. Rolling for intiative 3 times and taking whatever result you want? Wow. Haste/Slow a few times a day? Yummy. Re-rolling bad rolls, teleporting out of grapples, taking an enemy out of the fight for several rounds, all of these are really nice powers. And at level 20, you get to become immortal.

I have not hade a chance to play one yet. I have made a few builds to make sure I get it right when I do get a chance. The big problem is the two of the best revelations are touch attacks. That means you need to invest in Str or Dex and weapon finesses. There are other abilitys over all are ok with a few exceptions. Most of the exceptions have a higher level required to take them. So starting out your choices of revelations is limited. Now the spell slection is wonderfull. It's the best greated spells out of any of the mysterys for a casting oracle.
I have. Three years from now. It will have been awesome!
Who wants to live foreverrrr?
