Conversion: Contingency

Time for another conversion of a 3e favorite. Contingency seems like a quintessential utility power.

Contingency          Wizard Utility 16
Always be prepared.
Daily * Arcane
Standard Action (Special)          Personal
Special: You can only use this power during a short or extended rest.
Effect: You can use another power on yourself so that it comes into effect at a future time under some condition that you dictate when using this power. The power brought into effect must be one that has a range of “personal” or has a target that may legally target only “you”, e.g., “you or one creature”. The condition must be expressed as a trigger, similar to when you ready an action. Thereafter, if the trigger occurs, the companion power takes effect as an immediate interrupt. The effect ends when the contingency occurs or when you take an extended rest.

   You know, this would probably make a better ritual.
