Though Pangaea borders the Realm of Dreams, the
world of Dreams and Wakefulness are clearly
separated. The person that writes down his dreams and
tries to interpret what they mean is a far step from one
that has moved on to become a living dream. So, while
Dream Sovereigns are well known to society, the actual
ones that can gain even the first level of the class are
somewhat rare.
The role of a Dream Sovereign is that of the ascetic,
living apart from society but being a part of it at its
peripheral borders. Even societies like that under the
church of Sol Invictus allow Dream Sovereign a wide
breadth. Even so, Dream Sovereigns comes in conflict
with organized religion from time to time, though this is
rare. Most Dream Sovereigns see the “bigger picture”
and rarely cause disturbance among the masses.
Dream Sovereigns are pretty easy to spot. They tend to
have distant, if not blank stares as if looking at
something that is not there. Their dress and manner
tend to be very unusual as they bring back artifacts
and strange manners from their dream travels saying
things like “It’s not rocket science” and “Monday-
morning quarterback”. Even stranger is some of the
items they bring back, including things called “Blue
Jeans”, “AK-47” and “Panasonic”.
Combat
Dream Sovereigns can only use daggers and are
unable to use shields or wear any kind of armor. This
makes them very vulnerable in combat.
Dream
While dreaming, Dream Sovereigns are able to travel
the Realm of Dreams and the Dreamlands. Everything
that happens while dreaming “goes away” upon
awaking including items broken, lost or found and
damage taken. In the Dream state Dream Sovereigns
are Lucid, knowing they are dreaming and if they are in
a particular person’s Dreamscape or one of their own.
The Dreamlands are another matter. While sleeping, if
the Dream Sovereign or any dreamer for that matter
dies while in the Dreamlands, their body dies also.
Dream Travel
Starting at 7th level, once per day, The Dream
Sovereign (with up to eight people holding hands in a
link) can open a portal to the Dream Realm and back.
This is a perilous journey, for everything that happens in
the Dream Realm and Dreamlands in this state actually
occurs, including death.
Living Dream
the Dream Sovereign no matter where he may be.
People, places and things that are dream can be seen,
and interacted with even in the waking world. The
Dream Sovereign’s world is filled with such sights as
flying fish that sing and dead love ones that come
back to keep them company.
Phantasms
Dream Sovereigns are beings of the waking and
dreaming worlds, and as such they are able to bend
the reality around them by performing Phantasms.
Phantasms are not spells. There is no need for spell
books, memorizing or material components. In all other
ways use the Illusionist Spells from Advanced Fantasy
Druid and Illusionist spell book.
After Reaching 11th Level
The Dream Sovereign can create a Dream Fortress in
his mind’s eye and permanently set it somewhere in the
Dreamlands. When the Dreamer sleeps or bodily enters
the Dream Realm, he can “teleport” himself to its door
on his turn. The Dream Fortress can look like anything
that would best reflect its creator, from a lonely tower,
a mansion with a large estate to a dark dungeon set
up for torture. It is up to the Game Master to determine
the stats of the Dream Fortress.
New Phantasm: Dream Token
Phantasm Level: 1
Duration: Permanent
Range: The Caster
While anything the Dream Sovereign may take from the
Dream Realm while physically there may or may not
come back in a solid form, the Dream Sovereign is able
to bring back non-living items from the Dreamlands in
solid form while sleeping. Upon awaking the item is
either in the hands of the dreamer, being worn by the
dreamer or is right next to the dreamer depending on
the nature of the item. The item cannot be larger than
the dreamer himself and is of five (5) gold piece value
per level of the Dream Sovereign.
Dream Tokens are non-magical items, but become the
actual thing dreamed of. For instance, retrieving the
keys to the castle from the dreams of a guard will
unlock the castle doors. Retrieving the Teddy Bear that
once belonged to a person brings back the Teddy Bear
exactly how it was remembered down to the missing
button eye. Retrieving the long-lost magical gladius of
the Shadow Lord will only retrieve a normal mundane
gladius that looks like the Shadow Lord’s own gladius.
New Phantasm: Greater Dream Token
Phantasm level: 6
Duration: Permanent or 1 Round
Range: The Caster
This phantasm acts just like Dream Token except in
these ways:
1.The Dream Sovereign does not need to be sleeping
to retrieve the item.
2.The item can be either non-magical of any value, or
magical. If magical, the item last until the end of the
Dreamer’s next round.
It is up to the Game Master to determine just what can
be pulled from the Dreamlands.
