—Lakashtai, servant of the lightThe kalashtar are a compound race created
from the union of humanity and renegade spirits
from the plane of dreams—spirits called quori.
Kalashtar are often seen as wise, spiritual people
with great compassion for others. But there is
an unmistakable alien quality to the kalashtar,

otherworldly spirits.BOUND TO SPIRITS
Every kalashtar has a connection to a spirit of
light, shared by other members of their bloodline.
Kalashtar appear human, but the spiritual

Kalashtar have symmetrical, slightly angular
features. The eyes of a kalashtar often glow when
it is focused on a task or feeling strong emotions.
The kalashtar can’t directly communicate
with their quori spirits. A kalashtar might
experience this relationship as a sense of instinct
and inspiration, drawing on the memories of
the spirit when they dream. This connection
grants kalashtar minor psionic abilities, as well
as protection from psychic attacks. All of these
dream-spirits are virtuous, but some are warriors
and others are more contemplative. Work
together with the DM to determine the nature of
the linked spirit. Typically, a kalashtar knows the
name and nature of their spirit, but for some—
for instance, an orphan kalashtar raised among
outsiders—may know nothing of their spirit or the
source of their psychic gifts.
The bond to the spirit can cause some kalashtar
to display unusual quirks of behavior. You can
roll or select a trait from the following table.<½Ý«ãÙYç®Ù»Ý
