Dreamthief
The dreamthief is master of both waking and dreaming worlds. Each dreamthief bears a focused fragment of emotion, known as a dreamshard, within their soul. Some are born with such fragments, while others gain their dreamshards during traumatic moments, especially those involving nightmares, attacks by Ethereal beings, or incidents that take place in the Dimension of Dreams.
Whether a dreamshard is shaped from the dreamer’s aggregated emotions or manifested from a repressed aspect of themself, this metaphysical crystal grants a dreamthief supernatural powers, which they supplement with skill and grace.
Dreamthieves’ powers grant them enhanced access to dreamscapes. Using the unique power of their dreamshard, a knowledgeable dreamthief can crystallize and Steal dreamers’ deepest emotions. Such theft can alter dreamers in profound ways, whether for better or worse.
Skills: Knowledge (arcana) and Knowledge (planes) are class skills for a dreamthief.
This alters the rogue’s class skills.
They gain the abilities granted by that emotional focus (with the exception of the focus determining their good saving throws—they retain the typical rogue saves). For each of the two skills associated with that emotional focus, a dreamthief gains ranks in that skill equal to their rogue level; this does not allow their ranks in these skills to exceed their Hit Dice.
A dreamthief is considered to be both a phantom and a spiritualist for the purpose of emotional focus abilities whose effect references both a phantom and a spiritualist, such as dutiful strike, and they treat their rogue level as both their spiritualist level and their phantom Hit Dice when determining abilities and save DCs.
Once per round when a dreamthief makes a Melee Attack, they can declare that attack to be a dreamstrike. This does not require an action, but a dreamthief must declare a dreamstrike before making the attack roll. A dreamstrike is treated as a slam attack for the purpose of emotional focus abilities that apply to a phantom’s slam attacks, such as miserable strike. At 20th level, any Melee Attack a dreamthief makes automatically gains this benefit.
This replaces sneak attack and master strike.
This replaces trap sense.
This acts as the mesmerist’s touch treatment ability, treating their rogue level as their mesmerist level; a dreamthief can use this ability once per day for every 3 rogue levels they have.
This replaces uncanny dodge.
At 8th level, a dreamthief can cast dream scan once per day as a spell-like ability. At 12th level, once per day they can cast either dream scan or dream travel as a spell-like ability.
The caster level of these spell-like abilities is equal to their rogue level.
This replaces improved uncanny dodge and the rogue talent gained at 12th level.
