haunting creatures

[rvdpluijm]

Just a thing I was thinking about when reading about the error in the Tungausy dream @mciul talked about). When we allow fighting in dreams, we might add special (level 0) creatures which are able to haunt dreams. This would require a property to dreams (e.g. "haunt-inviting") to allow combat in those dreams. Such a creature could attack a player within the dreams when the player is asleep and the creature is in the same room. If defeated, the corpse of the creature is lying there as a reward.

Perhaps even cooler (and way more complicated): a haunting creature has the ability to turn a dream into a nightmare, thus creating a far more difficult version of a dream.

Any thoughts?

I like that idea! The Tungausy and Briar Roses dreams might be good for that... and of course it would be great to have some new dreams specially tailored for that kind of thing, maybe even a dream that causes one of these creatures to appear in the dungeon.
