Innate Spellcasting (Psionics). The quori's spellcasting ability is

Intelligence (spell save DC 16 ). It can innately cast the following

spells, requiring no components:

At will: charm person

3/day each: detect thoughts, disguise self, suggestion

l/day: dominate person, dream

ACTIONS
Multiattack. The quori uses its Mind Thrust twice.
Idyllic Touch. Melee Spell Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one tar­
get. Hit: 9 (l dl 0 + 4) force damage. If the target is a creature, it
must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or fall prone in
a fit of laughter.
Mind Thrust. The quori targets a creature it can see within 60
feet of it. The target must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw,
taking 18 (4d8) psychic damage on a failed save, or half as
much damage on a successful one.
Possession (Recharge 6). One humanoid that the quori can see
within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 16 Charisma saving
throw or be possessed by the quori; the quori then disappears,
and the target is incapacitated and loses control of its body. The
quori now controls the body but doesn't deprive the target of
awareness. The quori can't be targeted by any attack, spell, or
other effect, and it retains its alignment, Intelligence, Wisdom,
Charisma, and immunity to being charmed and frightened. It
otherwise uses the possessed target's statistics, but doesn't gain
access to the target's knowledge, class features, or proficiencies.
The possession lasts until the body drops to 0 hit points, the
quori ends it as a bonus action, or the quori is forced out by an
effect like the dispel evil and good spell. When the possession
ends, the quori reappears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet
of the body. The target is immune to this quori's Possession for
24 hours after succeeding on the saving throw or after the pos­
session ends.

REACTIONS

Empathic Feedback. When the quori takes damage from a crea­
ture it can see within 60 feet of it, the quori can force that crea­
ture to succeed on a DC 16 Intelligence saving throw or take 11
(2dl0) psychic damage.

Quori

Dal Quor is the plane of dreams and is currently dom­

inated by a dark power known as il-Lashtavar, or the

Dreaming Dark. 11-Lashtavar is served by a host of aber­

rations that are the embodiments of dreams and night­

mares-the quori. Because it is difficult for anything to

physically travel to or from Dal Quor, quori in Eberron

are typically encountered while possessing a host body.

The Inspired are the most common type of willing host

for the quori and are described earlier in this chapter.

HASHALAQ UORI

Hashalaq quori are loremasters and judges, and are

commonly known as dreamstealers. In their natural

form, hashalaqs are composed of hundreds of translu­

cent tendrils. They can compress and configure these

tendrils to form a wide range of simple shapes. A point

of blue light suspended within its tendrils serves as the

hashalaq's sensory organ, which can be moved around

to suit the creature's current shape.

The Power of Pleasure. Hashalaq quori have stud­

ied their mortal prey for centuries. Inhabiting human

bodies as Inspired has granted the hashalaq a deep

understanding of the hedonistic urges of humanity. As

a result, they have developed numerous ways to control

humanoids through pleasure-even as they have devel­

oped a taste for such things themselves.

The Learned of Dal Quor. Hashalaq quori are the

loremasters of Dal Quor. Even those hashalaqs who

don't make use of Inspired vessels dedicate themselves

to studying Eberron aml the planes, and they are among

the few quori castes whose members understand the

ways of magic. In Dal Quor, the hashalaq quori are typ­

ically found as advisors to the kalaraq. They also serve

as judges, policing the quori and ensuring that the rival­

ries of the tsucora never threaten the greater plans of

the Dreaming Dark.
