Homebrew Kalashtar (Revised) Species Details
I personally feel Kalashtar are a little more powerful that other races at level 1. They receive a lot of tools off the bat that feel a little strong for racial traits, so I've toned them down a bit for my game. In specific, the Dual Minds trait and Mind Link have been altered, while the others stay unchanged.
Kalashtar (Revised) Traits
The Kalashtar are a compound race created from the union of humanity and renegade spirits from the plane of dreams – spirits called quori. Kalashtar are often seen as wise, spiritual people with great compassion for others. But there is an unmistakable alien quality to the Kalashtar, as they are haunted by the conflicts of their otherworldly spirits.Ability Score Increase

You have 3 dual mind points. Whenever you make a Wisdom saving throw, you may spend 1 dual mind point to roll an additional d20. You can use this ability after the original roll, but before the outcome is revealed. You choose which of the d20s is used for the saving throw.

Severed from Dreams
Kalashtar sleep, but they rarely dream. Instead, their minds draw from the memories of their otherworldly spirit while they sleep. As such, you are immune to magical spells and effects that require you to dream, like the Dream spell, but not to spells and effects that put you to sleep, like the Sleep spell.
Languages
You can read and write Common, Quori, and one other language of your choice.
