Prerequisites

• Character Level: 5th level or higher.
• Spellcasting: Ability to cast at least one 3rd-level spell.
• Wisdom: 15 or higher.
• Skill: Proficiency in Insight or Arcana.
• Dream Magic: You know, prepare or have successfully used a spell or ritual that causes magical sleep, carries a message through dreams or allows dream travel.
• Special: You have remained lucid through a hostile supernatural dream.

Hit Point Die: d6 per Oneiromancer level. Hit Points per Level: 1d6 (or 4) + Constitution modifier. Proficiencies: No new armour, weapon or saving throw proficiencies.

Spellcasting

Choose one spellcasting class that qualified you for Oneiromancer. Each Oneiromancer level counts as a level in that class for its Spellcasting feature: spell slots and the number and level of spells you can prepare or know advance normally. You gain no other class or subclass feature from the qualifying class.

Lucid Dreaming

Your Dream Point maximum equals 2 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Wisdom modifier, minimum 1. You regain all spent Dream Points when you finish a Long Rest. At 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th Oneiromancer level, increase the maximum by 2.

You can spend Dream Points only while participating in a magical dream, supernatural sleep encounter or dream realm. Before 10th level you cannot spend more Dream Points during one turn than your Proficiency Bonus.

• Focused Self — 1 point. After you make a d20 Test in a dream but before the outcome is declared, add 1d4 to the roll.
• Dream Step — 1 point. As a Bonus Action in a dream, teleport up to 20 feet to an unoccupied space you can see within the same dream scene.
• Manifest Tool — 2 points. As a Magic Action, create one mundane object that fits inside a 5-foot Cube. It exists only in the dream and disappears after 10 minutes or when you leave the dream.
• Stabilize Spellcasting — 1 point. When a dream effect would randomly alter, redirect or distort a spell you cast, spend 1 point to have the spell use its normal rules instead.

Deep Sleep

You can spend 1 minute entering a controlled trance. Your waking body is Unconscious, but ordinary sound does not wake you. You wake immediately if you choose to do so, if your waking body takes damage, or if an effect specifically wakes a sleeping creature. While your mind is inside a magical dream, you act there normally.

Nocturnal Armsmaster

At 2nd level, while in a magical dream you are proficient with all weapons and armour that exist only inside that dream. You may use your qualifying spellcasting ability for attack and damage rolls with a dream-manifested weapon. Dream-manifested armour does not interfere with your Spellcasting feature.

Dreamreader

At 4th level, as a Magic Action while inside a dream, study one creature or scene and make a Wisdom (Insight) or Intelligence (Arcana) check. The DC is 15, or the spell save DC of the creature actively controlling the dream if higher. On a success, learn the dominant emotion shaping the scene, whether an outside mind is actively manipulating it, and one person, object or place acting as a symbolic anchor.

Reinforced Self-Image

At 6th level, when you enter a magical dream or dream realm, gain Temporary Hit Points equal to twice your Oneiromancer level + your Wisdom modifier. These Temporary Hit Points exist only in the dream and vanish when you wake or leave it.

Stream of Consciousness

At 8th level, once per Long Rest while in a dream, use a Magic Action to regain spent Dream Points up to your Proficiency Bonus. For each point restored, you take 2 Psychic damage that cannot be reduced or prevented. This damage is removed when the dream ends, though reaching 0 Hit Points still ends your participation normally.

Unlimited Potential

At 10th level, the per-turn limit on Dream Point expenditure no longer applies. In addition, once per Long Rest while in a dream you can spend 5 Dream Points as a Magic Action to rewrite nonliving terrain in a 30-foot Cube you can see: open or close a passage, raise or remove ordinary cover, create stairs or a bridge, or transform one harmless environmental feature into another. This cannot directly deal damage, imprison an unwilling creature or create a magic item.

Spellcasting. Each Oneiromancer level advances one qualifying spellcasting class for spell slots and spells known or prepared. Other class and subclass features do not advance.

Lucid Dreaming

Your Dream Point maximum equals 2 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier, minimum 1. You regain all spent Dream Points after a long rest. At 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th Oneiromancer level, increase the maximum by 2. Before 10th level, you cannot spend more Dream Points during one turn than your proficiency bonus.

• Focused Self — 1 point: after you make an attack roll, ability check or saving throw in a dream but before the outcome is declared, add 1d4 to the roll.
• Dream Step — 1 point: as a bonus action in a dream, teleport up to 20 feet to an unoccupied space you can see within the same dream scene.
• Manifest Tool — 2 points: as an action, create a mundane object that fits in a 5-foot cube. It exists only in the dream and lasts 10 minutes or until you leave.
• Stabilize Spellcasting — 1 point: when a dream effect would randomly alter, redirect or distort a spell you cast, resolve the spell normally instead.

Deep Sleep. After 1 minute of preparation your body falls unconscious. Ordinary sound does not wake you; damage, a deliberate choice to wake or an effect that wakes sleeping creatures does.

Nocturnal Armsmaster. In a magical dream, gain proficiency with dream-manifested weapons and armour and use your qualifying spellcasting ability for attacks and damage with dream weapons.

Dreamreader. As an action in a dream, make Insight or Arcana against DC 15 or the controlling creature’s spell save DC. Success reveals the scene’s dominant emotion, active manipulation and one symbolic anchor.

Reinforced Self-Image. Entering a magical dream grants temporary hit points equal to twice your Oneiromancer level + Wisdom modifier; they vanish on waking.

Stream of Consciousness. Once per long rest, recover spent Dream Points up to proficiency bonus as an action, taking 2 psychic damage per point restored. The damage cannot be reduced and disappears when the dream ends.

Unlimited Potential. At 10th level ignore the per-turn Dream Point cap. Once per long rest spend 5 points to reshape harmless nonliving terrain in a 30-foot cube inside a dream, without directly damaging or imprisoning creatures.
