[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9063149, member: 6790260"] As someone who likes Eberron but mostly from the outside: Is it not possible for a truly new dragonmark to appear? There had to be a time when nobody had marks, right? Perhaps this lady is the first flowering of the Mark of Dreams--because the Kalashtar represent something [I]new[/I] entering the Dragon Prophecy. A new piece on the board, an echo of the fundamental rewrite of the cosmology that occurred when Dal Quor was [I]forcibly[/I] made remote from Eberron. That sounds like an awesome campaign element to me. [HEADING=2]Dragonmark of Dreams[/HEADING] [B]Prerequisite:[/B] Kalashtar You have the magical mark of Dreams, the dragonmark of a new, unnamed House--perhaps you are even the first member thereof. You gain the ability to innately cast spells and cantrips, using Charisma as your spellcasting ability. You cast each spell at its lowest level. Once you cast a given spell this way, you must finish a long rest before you can cast it innately again. You must still expend any material components. Your dragonmark confers the following benefits: [I][B]Least Dragonmark.[/B][/I] When you first take this feat, you gain the least dragonmark. You learn the following spells: [I]mind sliver, sleep[/I]. [I][B]Lesser Dragonmark.[/B][/I] At 5th level and higher, your mark becomes more potent, improving to lesser dragonmark. You learn the following spell: [I]mirror image[/I]. [I][B]Greater Dragonmark.[/B][/I] At 9th level and higher, your mark's power increases again, becoming a greater dragonmark. You learn the following spell: [I]catnap[/I]. [B][I]Siberys Dragonmark.[/I][/B] The creation of a new Dragonmarked house is unprecedented, and will almost surely entail great peril, both from those who would kill you, and those who would control you. If you survive the ordeals to become the first bearer of a new Siberys mark in living memory, great power will be yours. You learn the following spells: [I]banishment, dream.[/I] Further, you can now cast each of the spells of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level provided by this feat twice before you must complete a long rest to cast them again. As noted, this feat is a HUGE [I]carte blanche[/I] for the DM to do all sorts of potentially-nasty things to the PC in question. It should not be taken lightly. If the player simply wants to have dream powers, without all of the (extremely significant!) setting implications of a brand-new non-Aberrant dragonmark, then a more flavorful choice would be to lean into the Quori spirit thing.
