Kalashtar/Dreaming Dark....No psionics? [Archive] - Wizards Community

Most of my players, and myself really dislike psionics (mechanically, and conceptually). But, I really like the idea of dream planes and the secret war between the dreaming dark and the kalashtar. I wanted to get some opinions on how difficult you think it would be to convert the players and monsters involved to something else?

One thing I was thinking, was that to make the Dreaming Dark into masters of Shadow Magic (from Tome of Magic), and perhaps the kalashtar as the reverse....The follow the Path of Light, according to Eberron lore...But i couldn't think of a system that would give them light based abilities similar to mysteries.

Any ideas? And how much lore would have to change to pull this off?

Thanks for your replies!

Hmmm... interesting concept.

You could just try and reverse certain powers effects. For example one mystery (or truth) would cause 1d6 Constitution damage whereas the said reverse would heal 1d6 ability damage.

Of course that'll take some preparation on your behalf.

I like this idea ... it certainly has a lot that can be explored and used and certainly explains some of the differences between Sarlona and Khorvaire.
