I just wrote this... I've actually got this homebrew class sitting around my computer without any real fluff, just a general idea, so I thought this is as good a place as any to unveil it to the world... So here's the general idea behind the Dreamblade... Tell me what you think.
[sblock=Dreamblade]Every child in Narovan has had nightmares of the dreamblades - fabled creatures that come crawling from the deepest recesses of the psyche and strike men dead in their slumber. Even in the harsh city of Narovan, where merely being in the wrong street at night spells certain doom, the legend of the Dreamblades strikes a particularly deep chord in the hearts of many people living in the city.
Luckily, however, they are just that - a legend left over from an earlier time, no doubt designed long ago to instill fear into children. This is what most people think. But in reality, they are no legend, no dream. They do exist, and in far greater numbers than anyone realizes.
The Church of the Lawgiver continues a crusade against them to the day, but are no closer to rooting them out than when they started. The Midnight Guild gave up fighting against them along ago. As wild and fleeting as a dream, all attempts to do away with them are futile. The dreamblades have no leaders, no recruiters. Very few of them could even recognize each other. Without any system of hierachy or organization, the dreamblades are a chaotic group of unrelated people hailing from all races and walks of life with only two things in common.
Firstly, they all claim to see endless visions during their sleeping hours - insane dreams and nightmares telling them to do things they'd never do; showing them things that could never come to be.
Secondly, all dreamblades share the ability to channel the world of dreams into reality, forging a weapon of pure dreamstuff with their will. These bizarre weapons can take any shape the dreamblade desires, from a simple sword or axe, to smoke and bursts of light, or abstract concepts.
Driven by strange otherworldy messages, dreamblades can appear anywhere at any time. Anyone on the street could secretly be a dreamblade, and there is no way to detect one until they manifest their weapon. Their goals are completely unknown - sometimes to even themselves.
Some are induced to performing insane, sadistics acts alone in the dead of night. Others are stirred by a message telling them to defend people from evil. Still others are led to form mysterious, loosely-formed cults, where they perform mad rites to bizarre, imaginary beings.
