The '''Dream Guardian''', known as the '''Dream Visitor''' in Early Access, is a mysterious armoured figure that appears to the party as a being of any playable race (except dragonborn) and any gender that is chosen by the player. By default, they appear as a female [[Lolth-sworn drow]]. A tiefling character will often see a githyanki form instead. | The '''Dream Guardian''', known as the '''Dream Visitor''' in Early Access, is a mysterious armoured figure that appears to the party as a being of any playable race (except dragonborn) and any gender that is chosen by the player.

The Dream | The Dream Guardian first appears to the party shortly after their adventure begins while they sleep. They attempt to ease the players into a sense of comfort, claiming to be the one protecting them from the influence of the [[Absolute]], in addition to preventing their transformation into [[mind flayer]]s. Throughout Act One, they will encourage the player to fully utilise the [[Illithid Powers]], as well as encouraging them to use the Tadpoles of other infected hosts to further bolster their powers. | ||

If a Long Rest is performed after arriving in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, the Dream | If a Long Rest is performed after arriving in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, the Dream Guardian will appear to the player once again in a dream, wearing a ceremonial robe rather than their usual armour. The Dream Guardian shares that being in such close proximity to the [[Absolute]] is taking a toll on them, and the player is given a number of different responses for how to react to that. More choices are unlocked with the right dialogue options, and by succeeding automatic dice checks that the player cannot modify. | ||
