Hello all,

I've been a fan of Dungeons & Dragon since around the time of version 3.5, when I discovered it. I love games and gaming. I particularly like to just see what has been done, take what I like, then reuse it and recombine it.

Dreameaters

I imageine this creature as a combination of artifice, necromancy, and enchantment. They use mystic devices that are grafted onto their bodies along with complimentary runes tattooed onto their skin. Together, these allow them to consume dreams that have been extracted from living victims in order to sustain their undeath. Additionally, their minds have been expanded by their addiction, allowing them to project dream-energy in order to form a complex web of visual and auditory illusions. They use this power both in combat and in their everyday dealings with "dreamers", living sentient beings, whose societies they must infiltrate in order to ensure a continued supply of sustainence.

Dreameaters appear to be humanoid creatures of any race, but they are unnaturally gaunt. Their skin is leathery and grey, covered with runes tattooed onto it in swirling patterns. Their nose and ears are missing, as though worn away over the ages, while their mouths are simply stitched shut. Their unblinking eyes appear to be orbs of swirling cloudy fluid. In the center of its chest, each dreameater has an arcane device like a five-fingered metalic claw with its talons burried in their flesh. It is inscribed with runes that match the tattoos on their skin and at the center is a orb filled with the same cloudy grey-white fluid that fills the dreameater's eyes.

It makes a Bluff check opposed by the passive Insight of anyone viewing it. (It can be assumed that the dreameater takes a 20 on this check, if already disguised at the beginning of an encounter.) Anyone with a higher passive Insight discerns the illusory nature of the disguise, seeing the dreameater's true form. If the dreameater acts out of character or otherwise comes under scrutiny, it makes another Bluff check opposed by an active Insight check, with the same results in case of failure. If posing as a person whose dreams it has previously consumed, it gains a +10 bonus to checks made to allay suspicion.
