Hesha The Blade Dancer

Started a side campaign with this precious jewel! She’s a Goliath/Kalashtar blade dancer (homebrew class) and I’m very excited for the next sessions!

okay but what if imogen is a kalashtar

I know I don’t really post on here BUT I have an imogen theory. This might have already been said but she has a lot of similarities to the kalashtar race from ebberon??

kalashtar are a race created from the union of a human and a dream realm spirit known as quori, which is then passed down through generations, so it’s a hereditary thing. In appearance they essentially are sort of like aasimar in terms of looking very human with some little weird almost alien twinges.

kalashtar have a specific trait called severed from dreams:  Kalashtar sleep, but they don’t connect to the plane of dreams as other creatures do. Instead, their minds draw from the memories of their otherworldly spirit while they sleep. could possibly explain some moon shit??

ALSO they CAN READ MINDS and SPEAK TELEPATHICALLY TO OTHER CREATURES. It also mentions in some sources that Kalashtar’s eyes flash and glow when they’re experiencing strong emotions, which happens to imogen sometimes.

I just wonder if matt and laura worked on melding the kalashtar into a version that would work in exandria, so maybe not a quori spirit exactly but something ruidus-related? maybe this is all coincidental and maybe someone has said it already, who knows, but I’ve been thinking about it for a little while!!

I started playing DnD with my friends. I’m a noob, but I’m a noob that can draw, so of course I made character cards for our entire party. Because friendship.

For the cards, I took inspiration from different cultures for how I would stylize each one 😁 

for more info/dev commentary on Umran (because he’s my character) keep reading if you want I guess.

For Umran, my character, I wanted to do an asian inspired take on a Paladin. Not a monk, because I wanted him to still be armoured. So I took the idea of a religious warrior, and tried to make the base religion different from catholicism, and add a focus on spirituality. Which is why I made him a Kalashtar (Secret Identity background so I guess in game no one really knows he’s a Kalashtar or that Umran is technically not even his real name). Although his origins are a secret, it’s fairly obvious that he’s foreign so he doesn’t hide that he’s foreign and his design leans into that. In fact he takes advantage of how other’s perceive him a the “exotic foreigner” and hides his true identity in plain sight. Umran was really about putting different spins on a Paladin. Different base religion, more DPS leaning, not lawful, a rogue-ish-like personality, etc.
