Dream-Torn people have experienced horrors within the Dreamscape. Often, these nightmares center around a single person or event and are connected to the creatures subconscious.
Dream-Torn experience vivid nightmares upon resting each night. These nightmares always focus on a particular person or event in either the past or future that the Dream-Torn has a special connection to, though what occurs always negatively affects the dreamer. Because of this connection, the Dream-Torn gains certain effects at the cost of only receiving half the benefits from resting.
