Welcome
Dream Shaman in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Dream Shaman
The Dream Shaman is as mysterious as they are rare, and specialize in manipulation of the mind above all else. Far from illusionists, these shaman are masters of the dreams of those around them, and are the reason for the myth of the sandman. As you master this enigmatic tradition, you will learn to call to the world of dreams and pull creatures to it. You will also master the dream itself, and learn to manifest it in reality.
The Dream Shaman is often in their own mind, and is as strange a foe to face in battle as any creature of dreams could ever be. These shaman are highly sought after for their knowledge of dreams, and the interpretations they can give.

At 3rd level, when you claim this tradition, you learn how to use your dreams to traverse time. When at rest, you may see the events that have previously occurred in the area around you, or look forward at the future that may become. When you do this, you can focus on a distance in time from your current time and seek a specific answer, or you can simply see what may be. The number of years forward or backwards you may travel is equivalent to your Constitution modifier multiplied by 10.
At 3rd level, when you claim this tradition, your totems list expands. Totems made by Dream Shaman are made of small pieces of metal, and appear transparent when active. They are often worn as necklaces or charms on bracelets, and bear intricate designs carefully carved into the shining surface.
At 6th level, your manipulation of the mind progresses. You may choose up to 3 creatures. These targets must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, or fall asleep for 1d10 rounds. While asleep, they lose 1d4hp per round, which you absorb and heal yourself with.
You cannot use this feature again until you complete a short or long rest.
At 9th level, you may physically traverse through dreams. You entrance yourself, meditating into a half-sleep state, and travel a distance of up to 2 miles in your dream. When you awake, you and up to 4 other creatures of your choice will be teleported to the place your dream-self chose to awaken.
You cannot use this feature again until you complete a long rest.
At 14th level, you master the mind and manifestation of dreams. You may spend an action to fall asleep, manifesting a dream version of yourself to fight. This version of yourself is immune to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and has a flight speed of 40ft. This feature lasts for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your Shaman level rounded down. You may create, and control, an additional dream embodiment at the cost of cutting the time this feature lasts in half. When this feature ends, you awaken exactly as you were before falling asleep.
You cannot use this feature again until you complete a long rest.
