Homebrew Dreamer Species Details
When a Kalashtar is created, a Quori spirit enters the mind of a suitable human. The vast majority of the time, this process goes smoothly, creating a Kalashtar; on rare occasions, however, the mind of the vessel can't handle the stress of containing a powerful Quori. The result of this is a being known as a Dreamer, the comatose body of a human being piloted by the Quori spirit trapped within. Quori spirits tend to be fascinated by the mortal world, and enter new experiences with intense curiosity. A Dreamer walks in a shaky, slouching manner, and their faces seem perpetually asleep. They cannot speak, and communicate with others via telepathy. Dreamers are quite rare and those who encounter them are generally unsettled due to their unnatural nature.
Dreamer Names
Dreamers generally use the names of the Quori spirit trapped within, although some Dreamers use human names in order to fit in to society more easily.
Dreamer Traits
Dreamer characters possess the following traits:Vigilant Sleep
A Dreamer's vessel does not require sleep given its comatose nature. During a rest, you remain in a motionless, relaxed state for the duration of the rest. during this time, you remain aware of your surroundings, and can still use your telepathy to communicate.
Ability Score Increase
Your Wisdom score increases by 2, and your Intelligence score increases by 1.
Age
Dreamers develop physically at the same rate as humans do and have similar lifespans; however the Quori spirit trapped within the vessel's mind do not age.
Alignment.
Quori spirits who bond with Kalashtar and Dreamers value laws and regulations, and look with disdain upon those who act without reason. Most Dreamers are of lawful and/or good alignments, while chaotic and evil Dreamers are practically unheard of.
Dreamless Coma
A Dreamer's vessel is perpetually asleep, yet does not dream. because of this, you are immune to all magical spells and effects that require you to sleep or dream, such as the Dream and Sleep spells. You are able to become unconscious through other methods, however.
Languages
You can understand Common, Quori, and one other language of your choice, but can only communicate via telepathy. Your telepathy can either emanate from you like a normal voice, or you can communicate with only one creature instead. The creature must share a common language with you, and cannot respond telepathically to you. If you choose to communicate with only one creature, they be within your line of sight, or you lose your connection with them. If you choose to let your telepathy emanate, all creatures who would be able to hear you speak are able to hear your telepathy.
