    this was wonderfully helpful! one of my players asked to play a kalashtar and i had 0 idea on how to tie it into the story. now i can’t stop jotting down ideas

    I actually like the idea of a quori spirit getting passed on only to one of the kalashtar's children, so that there really are only 66 at a time.

    I still haven't played yet, but after watching Critical role and some friends doing their own sessions, I got into DNDBeyond to make a character. The first character race art that really drew me in was the Kalashtar. I haven't found a lot out there about them so I really appreciate this video extra :) Thank you brothers

    Kalashtar abilities have changed a bit since the end of 2019, heads up for anybody here in 2021 haha the history and background of this race is the best I've heard in a video so far. Excellent!

    I'm creating a Kalashtar Barbarian, and your cast has helped me so much! I wanted to see how to tie the rage into the class and I found that the struggle with the Quori spirit triggers the rage. I love your videos❤

    37:24 I completely agree, psionics are such a big part of being a Kalashtar that I'm honestly a bit angry they haven't made a proper Psionic class yet. The sorcerer subclass is cool, but theres too much mucus and tentacles; I'm talking about a REAL Psionic class with it's own subclasses and Int or Wis as the spellcasting ability. There was already a Psionic class in 3.5 so it would just be a matter of adapting it to 5e, wouldn't it? There is Mystic, but apparently theres a lot of problems with it and still needs a lot of work...

    • @bleddynwolf8463
      @bleddynwolf8463 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      i don't think any new classes will be added to 5e, the artificer wasn't hugely popular, and the mystic is so disliked they may be afraid to try anything psionic. i do agree a psionics class, possibly based on 3.5 version would be fun, but unlikely with the Aberrant mind sorcerer and the Psi warrior already in the game

    One way of thinking about the Quori spirit aspect of kalashtar - hivemind no, but maybe if you say subconscious-ONLY hivemind. And there are 67 lineages, so it's not for the whole race anyway.
    My more common explanation is think of the Quori as a puzzle. Each kalashtar has one puzzle piece.

    Created a death domain cleric that was kalashtar, devoted to Wee Jas (Lawful Neutral). Her whole reason for the death domain is to work with the dead and help lost spirits find their way to a peaceful afterlife, making deals with the spirits so she can practice necromancy with their consent (Requirement of wee jas is to be lawful about necromancy). I think this fits the whole path of light but id love a second opinion.

    Where can you find all the 66 Quori names? The Ebberon book only lists 14. I don't mind making up one for myself (i'd prefer that actually), but I wouldn't want to step outside of set boundries if that is not an option... Though in the end the DM can make this call I suppose :D

    I am Usidore, Wizard of the 12th Realm of Ephysiyies, Master of Light and Shadow, Manipulator of Magical Delights, Devourer of Chaos, Champion of the Great Halls of Terr'akkas. The elves know me as Fi’ang Yalok. The dwarfs know me as Zoenen Hoogstandjes. And I am also known in the Northeast as Gaismunēnas Meistar. There may be other secret names that hold such power that they would obliterate every dog you ever own past or future if they were to ever spoken aloud
