Class Features
- Deep Sleep
As a master of dreams, you need a way to get into the unconscious mind. At 1st level, you gain the enchantment spell sleep. Sleep can be cast without materials on other players, creatures and yourself. Sleep duration is increased permanently to 30 minutes and you have at 1st level 2 sleep casts per short rest. Hit dice number is increased by +3d8 and the number of sleep casts per short rest increase by 2 at levels 7, 11 and 15. As the caster you can wake up from sleep when desired without having to be woken, taken damage or the duration wears out. You can also wake creatures and allies up too when in the dream realm, cancelling the sleep spell, this can only be done by the caster or another dream walker.
- Trickery
At 1st level you gain access to 3 cantrips of your choice within the transmutation, illusion and conjuration schools of magic. Each time they are cast any creature within a 10 ft radius and in line of sight must take a charisma saving throw of DC 10 + your charisma or be frightened for 30 minutes. You can only use trickery 2 times per long rest. at levels 8, 13 and 17 you get to pick an additional cantrip within the boundaries and trickery uses are increased by 1 per long rest.
- Dream Realm
At 1st level, when you use Deep Sleep on yourself, a player or a creature: you create a dimension which all those affected by deep sleep enter leaving their bodies vulnerable. All other creatures and players must make a Charisma saving throw DC 12 + your charisma to recognize that they are in the dream realm and if failed therefore cannot use cognitive conjure and have disadvantage on saving throws and skill checks until you leave the dream realm. You cannot affect your original dimension whilst in the dream realm ( so opening a door in the dream realm wouldn't open the door to your original dimension). The dream realm takes shape of your original environment which it has been cast from. Movement in the dream realm doesn't move your unconscious body in your original dimension. You can take damage in the dream realm from other players and creatures despite their body being away from you (so when you are hit in the dream realm you are hit in your original dimension despite not being next to the damage inflicter) this counts for all who are under the effects of Deep Sleep in the dream realm. When taking damage in the dream realm you do not wake up. The caster gains +1 AC whilst in the dream realm. When leaving the dream realm, it remains open with any creature inside.
- Intimidator
At 2nd level, the dream walker gains the message cantrip (if already selected through trickery pick another within the given boundaries). When the message cantrip is used in the dream realm, it translates to the original dimension only. Any creature within line of sight and within 10ft takes a charisma saving throw of DC 12 + your charisma or be frightened for 30 minutes.
- Misdirection
At 3rd level you can use a game set or a musical instrument within 5 ft of a creature or player. you must concentrate for 2 minutes in doing so the creature or player must take a charisma saving throw of DC 12 + your charisma or be put under the effects of Deep sleep despite the limit of uses for deep sleep. You can only affect one creature or player. The creature or player must be in line of sight and you must have their attention. You can do this 2 times per long rest, this increases by 1 at 6th 9th 14th and 18th level.
- False Imagery
At 4th level, You can use a disguise kit in the dream realm to change your appearance to any tiny, small, medium or large: beast, fey, aberration, monstrosity and fiend.

- Ability Score Improvement
