Oneiromancy Elixir

Oneiromancy Elixir

Imbibing this elixir you can enter a sleeping trance that allows you to witness the dreams of another creature, thus gaining some insight into that creature’s motivations and desires.

At the beginning of the trance you must identify the individual by name or by some title and have a drop of blood, spittle, tuft of hair or other physical sample (mixed into the elixir) or personal object to find the subject. You then drink the elixir and enter a trance then appear in the intended subject’s dream, and may witness the subject’s dreams in the Dreamscape. The target is allowed a special Will save DC15 to prevent you from witnessing its dreams, though he is unaware of your effort to do so even if the save succeeds.

The duration of the elixir is 24 hours. You can remain in the trance until the subject goes to sleep. If the subject is awake when your trance begins, you can choose to wake up (ending your trance and wasting the elixir) or remain in the trance. You can remain in the trance for up to 24 hours until the target goes to sleep, then witness the subject’s dreams as described below. If you are disturbed during the trance you come awake, ending the elixir. If the subject is awake during the total 24 hours the surveillance cannot take place and the elixir is wasted.

After at least an hour of witnessing the subject’s dreams, you may make a Sense Motive check to get a deeper understanding of the subject. If this check succeeds, you gain a +8 circumstance bonus to all Wisdom and Charisma-based checks you make regarding the subject for 24 hours after waking.

Once the subject stops dreaming, your mind returns instantly to your body. 

You are unaware of your own surroundings and of the activities around you while in the sleeping trance and are defenseless both physically and mentally, if you disturbed or awakened within the 24 hour period before your conversation takes place the elixir is wasted. Creatures who don’t sleep or don’t dream cannot be targeted by this effect. 

Craft Requirements: brew potion, two water shards, 150 gp.
