Ravnica Guild Options Part 1

Azorius Senate

Bard College - College of Decrees

Among the organization of the senate are many beuracrats, officials, and orators tasked with carrying out the myriad of laws and statutes set forth. Some with a magical talent for words are able to use their skills not to entertain, but to affirm these laws and make announcements of them to the general populace.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the College of Decrees at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with shields. You also gain proficiency with calligrapher's supplies. In addition, you may use a Holy Symbol as a spellcasting focus.

Droning Oration

Starting at 3rd level, you can imbue your speech with orderly law magic. If you perform for at least 1 minute, you can attempt to control your audience by reciting codes, laws, statutes, or similarly dull information. At the end of the performance, choose a number of humanoids within 60 feet of you who listened to all of it, up to a number equal to half your Bard level + your Charisma modifier. Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or gain a level of exhaustion. If the creature already has a level of exhaustion, this effect cannot give them level 6 exhaustion. While the target has this level of exhaustion, it becomes indifferent about creatures of your choice that it is hostile towards. It avoids violence and lawbreaking.

This effect ends once the target rests for at least 1 hour, if it takes any damage, or if you attack it. If the target succeeds on its saving through, the target has no hint that you tried to tire it, though may still be bored with your speech. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Mantle of Authority

At 6th level, you gain the ability to steel yourself with law magic that helps enforce your decrees. As a bonus action, you cast Command, without expending a spell slot, and you are surrounded by glowing runes for 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a spell. During this time, you can cast Command as a bonus action on each of your turns without expending a spell slot.

In addition, while you are concentrating on this ability, the area within 10 feet of you functions as a Zone of Truth. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Grand Filibuster

At 14th level, your words hold even greater authority and power. As a bonus action, you may begin a lengthy speech, a faint glow surrounding you for 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a spell.) During this time, you must use a bonus action on each of your turns to continue speaking without pause. Creatures who can hear you become aware of the magical weight to your words. After 1 minute, if your concentration was not broken, each living creature of your choice within 60 feet who could hear you during the duration must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become stunned for 1 minute. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is instead incapacitated for 1 minute. For the next 24 hours, the creatures will seek to follow the law to the best of their ability.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

Paladin Oath - Oath of the Hussars

Hussars are the most militant force among the Azorius, tasked with patrolling the streets and enforcing their myriad of laws on the masses. Those among them hold the law to the highest degree, and rarely hesitate to arrest an offender.

Tenets of the Hussars

Hussars devote themselves to the ideals of law and order.

Law. The law is paramount. It is the force that holds society together, and it must be respected.

Logic. In places where the law may falter, your own judgement must carry the day. Act based upon reason and facts.

Impose Inaction. To prevent action is to prevent transgression. Seek to impede those who you suspect may break it.

Duty. Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, and obey those who have authority over you.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed in the Oath of the Hussars Spells table.See the Sacred Oath class feature for how oath spells work.

Ward Casting

You may cast any paladin spell you know, including those gained from the Oath of the Hussars Spells table, as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity Options

Detain. As an action, you present your holy symbol to a creature within 30 feet that can see or hear you. It must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be restrained and incapacitated for 1 round.

Palliation Accord As a bonus action, you present your holy symbol, spectral shields springing up around you. You gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier times the number of hostile creatures you can see or hear. While you have those temporary hit points, you have advantage on weapon attacks you make as a reaction.

Aura of Order

Starting at 7th level, your runes and wards work to keep you and your allies free from harm. You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have resistance to acid, fire, necrotic, poison, and thunder damage.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Righteous Authority

Starting at 15th level, those who attempt to harm you suffer immediate punishment for their defiance.

Martial Lawbringer

At 20th level, you can enact a verdict to gain supreme authority, albeit temporarily. As an action, you can magically enhance your powers of law, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute: following benefits:

• You may cast Counterspell without using your reaction. If it is against a spell of 3rd level or lower, you cast it without using a spell slot.

New Item

Members of the Azorius Senate may requisition a Writ of Warding for 200 gp.

Writ of Warding This is a magical scroll emblazoned with runes of law magic. While held displayed in one hand, it functions as a shield, except it may be stowed or unfurled as a bonus action, rather than an action. Additionally, a Lawful character can use the scroll to cast the Resistance cantrip. The scroll also functions as a holy symbol for a Lawful character.

Other Azorius Classes

A Cleric of the Order Domain represents a typical Lawmage, judge, or similar officials. A Wizard with the Abjuration or Divination school will also fit their orderly organization. A Sorcerer of the Divine Soul origin or a Warlock with the Undying Light patron might also apply, the latter, representing a pact with a sphinx. A Horizon Walker or Monster Slayer Ranger, or an Eldritch Knight Fighter might find themselves hired or allied with the senate when the ranks of hussars are stretched thin. Barbarians and Druids aren’t usually found among the Azorius, as they’re considered too uncivilized and disorderly.

Boros Legion

New Fighting Style

The fighting style is available to Fighters, Paladins, Rangers, and Bards of the College of Blade as an additional option to the standard options for the Fighting Style class feature.

Battalion

The first time you hit with an attack on your turn, you may select two friendly creatures you can see. The next melee weapon attack each hits with before the start of your next turn deals 2 extra radiant damage.

This fighting style is available to Fighters, Paladins, Rangers, and Bards of the College of Blades.

Cleric Domain - Justice

The Boros Legion has a variety of priests and clerics, some more stoic and others boisterous. Where they all agree is following the ideals of the Legion, as well as working under Aurelia, the Warleader. The priests of the legion seek to do justice in her name.

Domain Spells

You gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Justice Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work.

Justice Domain Spells

Cleric Level	Spells
1st	Alarm, Heroism
3rd	Flame Blade, Cordon of Arrows
5th	Lightning Bolt, Glyph of Warding
7th	Guardian of Faith, Wall of Fire
9th	Hold Monster, Immolation

Bonus Proficiency

Bonus Cantrip

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain the Produce Flame cantrip if you don’t already know it. It counts as a cleric spell for you.

Fighting Style

You gain the Battalion fighting style.

Channel Divinity: Aurelia’s Fury

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to unleash a storm of fiery rage, driving back your foes.

As an action, you present your holy symbol. Each hostile creature within 20 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature that fails its saving throw takes fire damage equal to 3d6+your cleric level and is frightened until the start of your next turn. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw takes half damage and is not frightened.

Lightning Helix

Beginning at 6th level, your spells that harm your enemies can now bolster your allies. Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that deals fire, lightning, radiant, or thunder damage, you or one creature you can see regains hit points equal to 2+the spell’s level.

Divine Strike

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 fire damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Avatar of Sunhome

At 17th level, your ability to shape the flow of battle expands further. Whenever you use your Aurelia’s Fury feature, you may instead have it affect only a single creature. If you do, the damage increases to 6d6, and the target becomes incapacitated rather than frightened.

In addition, you can take a bonus action on your turn to end the frightened or incapacitated effect on any creatures affected by your Aurelia’s Fury ability. If you do, you decide who and how those creatures will attack their next turn. However, the action must be reasonable. (For example, you might have several archers shoot arrows at a hostile barbarian next to them, but not at their own allies. You might also have a mage launch a fireball at a spot that would hit only a few of his enemies, but not have them run across the battlefield to stab a knight with a dagger.) This represents you influencing the position of your allies and enemies in a divinely inspired way, causing tactical blunders among those affected.

Fighter Archetype - Boros Commando

The Boros Legion employs a wide variety of races, tactics, and fighting styles in its ranks. While some are soldiers while others are guards, all strike with the might of the legion. To this end, drills and training are a constant among the Boros, and a soldier will pick up many skills as he rises through the ranks.

Legion Training

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you’ve started upon your path of specialization within the Legion. To reflect this, you can choose from the following list of tactics at 3rd level, and will get other opportunities to learn more tactics and expand your training as you level.

Bomber Corps Tactics

You gain skill in the creation and application of explosives. You gain proficiency with Alchemist’s Tools. You also gain proficiency with Alchemist’s Fire and Holy Water, adding your proficiency bonus to attack rolls with those items. In addition, whenever you take the attack action on your turn, you may throw a flask of either in place of one of the attacks, rather than requiring an action to do so.

You are also able to make your own flasks of Alchemist’s Fire in the field. Whenever you finish a long rest, you create a number of flasks equal to your proficiency modifier. These are temporary mixtures, and go inert if not used within 24 hours.

Halberdier Tactics

You acquire specialized training in fending off foes with a halberd, but the lessons extend to other polearms as well. While you are wielding a glaive, halberd, or pike, you may attempt to Shove an enemy you hit with a melee attack, but may only use it to push them rather than knock them prone.

In addition, once per turn, you may make an extra opportunity attack with extended reach. This opportunity attack doesn’t use your reaction, and you may decide to use it when a creature attempts to move out of reach of your weapon. You may use this opportunity attack a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You regain all uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Nav Squad Tactics

You have extensive training when it comes to navigating and mapping the undercity and other dark places. You gain proficiency with Cartographer’s Tools. Whenever you are underground, you know the nearest path to the surface. In addition, while you’re wielding a weapon in one hand and carrying a torch in the other, your attacks with that weapon also deal extra fire damage equal to half your proficiency modifier.

Sergeant Tactics

Your leadership skills have shone through in your early training, giving you a deeper understanding of tactics. You gain two Superiority Die, which are a d6. You learn the Commander’s Strike and Rally maneuvers. Whenever you use a Superiority die for one of these maneuvers, you may add your Intelligence modifier to the final result of the die roll. You regain all expended superiority die when you finish a short or long rest.

Skyjek Tactics

While still in training, you’ve practiced the skills related to riding a flying mount. You gain proficiency in your choice of Acrobatics or Animal Handling. You may also reduce any falling damage you take by double your Fighter level.

This training also extends to your fighting technique. While you are mounted or an enemy is 5 feet or further below you, you may use your bonus action to attempt to knock that enemy prone. The enemy must be in reach of your weapon, and must make a Strength saving throw against a DC of 8+your proficiency modifier+your Strength or Dexterity modifier. If they fail, they are knocked prone. You may use a bonus action in this way a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. You regain all uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Swiftblade Tactics

Your training has prepared you for the most risky frontline duty. Your movement speed increases by 5 feet. In addition, your group may Travel at a Fast Pace without any penalty to passive Wisdom (Perception) checks.

As a bonus action on your turn, you may make an extra melee weapon attack with a non-heavy weapon. If the weapon is light, you may instead make two extra attacks with it. You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. You regain all uses when you finish a short rest.

Wojek Apothecary Tactics

You gain the ability to apply first aid with skilled precision and timing. You gain proficiency with the Medicine skill. If you already have proficiency, you double your proficiency bonus when making checks using it.

In addition, you may also administer Potions of Healing to other creatures as a bonus action, rather than an action. You’ve also learned to maintain a supply of healing potions while in the field. Whenever you finish a long rest, you create a number of Potions of Healing equal to your proficiency modifier . These are temporary mixtures, and go inert if not used within 24 hours.

Ability Score Increase

Starting at 4th level, in addition to the standard options for increasing ability scores, a Boros Commando may also put their attention towards further training. You may select one ability score to increase by 1 point, and also gain any of the Tactics from Legion Training which you don’t already possess.

Crime-Hunting Knack

Starting at 7th level, you gain advantage on all Intelligence (Investigation) checks.

Expert Training

When you reach 10th level, you’ve gained more skill within the ranks of the Legion. You may choose to select two of the options that you don’t have from the Legion Training list, or choose one option from the following list:

Demolitions Expert

Prerequisite: Bomber Corps Tactics

Your experience in dealing with explosives has expanded your skill with them. You may throw flasks such as Alchemist’s Fire and Holy Water up to 40 feet rather than 20.

In addition, when you hit a creature with a flask of Alchemist’s Fire, that creature takes 2d6 fire damage immediately in addition to the normal fire damage it takes. The DC of a creature to extinguish the flames of Alchemist’s Fire you throw also becomes 10+your proficiency modifier.

Also, as an action on your turn, you may make a special attack using Alchemist’s fire, targeting a point area within 40 feet.

Paladin Oath - Oath of the Truefire

Truefire Paladins often seem much like the rest of the legion to outsiders, but in truth they are set apart from both the priests and soldiers. Through acts of meditation, they center their souls on the core ideals of the legion, allowing their resolve to carry them through battle so long as the fire in their hearts remains true.

Tenets of the Truefire

You've sworn your oaths within the sacred forges of Sunhome, witnessed by your comrades in arms.

Honesty. Deception is for the weak or malicious. Let your heart speak true, and honor your word.

Loyalty. Be true to your companions. Brothers in arms must protect and support one another.

Society. The fires of civilization must stand against the darkness. Those who would see it destroyed, decayed, or twisted are the gravest threat.

Justice. You must trust your heart to know what is righteous and just. Laws may be broken to see that justice is delivered.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the lpaladin levels listed in the Oath of Truefire Spells table. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how oath spells work.

Champion of Sunhome

At 20th level, as an action, you call upon the glory of the legion to support you in battle. You gain the following benefits for 1 hour:

• An armored Griffon arrives to serve as your mount. It has the same statistics as a normal Griffon, except it has 16 AC due to its custom Barding.

• Whenever you roll initiative, you and each friendly creature you can see gains temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Sorcerer Origin - Embermage

Recruits of the legion go through a rigorous training process, which on occasion reveals a latent magical talent among the recruits. Theories as to the origin of these magic differ, the Gruul insisting it’s a gift from the spirits of the world, while some among the Rakdos think it some sort of demonic influence. Among the Legion though, it is seen as a holy gift to be further refined. While an Embermage’s initial powers are weak, rigorous training, discipline, and drilling quickly unlock further abilities which they use to support their fellows in battle.

Martial Prowess

You gain proficiency with medium armor, javelins, and short swords. In addition, you gain the Battalion Fighting Style.

Embersoul Magic

At 1st level, you learn the Sacred Flame cantrip. In addition, you also learn the following spells at the levels listed. These spells all count as Sorcerer spells for you, but don't count against your spells known.

Sorcerer Level	Spells
1st	Guiding Bolt, Shield of Faith
3rd	Heat Metal, Lesser Restoration
5th	Glyph of Warding, Revivify
7th	Death Ward, Freedom of Movement
9th	Dawn, Holy Weapon

Tactical Casting

At 6th level, you improve your ability to weave your magic around your allies. You gain the Careful Spell and Empowered Spell Metamagic options if you don’t already know them. If you already know one or both of those Metamagic options, you can learn up to two other options instead.

Whenever you use the Careful Spell Metamagic, you may gain the benefit of the Empowered Spell Metamagic for that spell if it applies without spending an additional Sorcery point. In addition, if you use Careful Spell with a spell that deals damage on a successful save, any creatures you choose with it take no damage instead.

In addition, whenever you hit an enemy with an attack using a melee weapon, you gain a Sorcery Point. You may only regain Sorcery points in this way a number of times equal to your Proficiency modifier. You must finish a short or long rest before you can regain Sorcery points in this way again.

Siege Casting

Starting at 14th level, if you haven’t yet moved on your turn, the range of the first spell you cast on that turn is doubled. In addition, if that spell deals damage, it deals double damage against objects and structures, and deals an extra 1d6 radiant damage to any constructs that take damage from it. Furthermore, a spell cast in this way ignores half and three-quarters cover. After you cast a spell in this way, your speed is reduced to 0 until the end of your turn.

Guildmage Expertise

At 18th level, you’ve reached the highest level of magical talent among the Legion. Select six Abjuration, Evocation, or Conjuration spells from the Wizard or Cleric spell list. You learn those spells.

In addition, whenever you cast a spell that deals damage or restores hitpoints, you may add your Charisma modifier to the damage roll or the amount healed, respectively. You may only apply this to one damage roll of a spell, and one creature healed by a spell.

Other Boros Classes

Many other types of characters, classes, and archetypes can work within the Legion. A Barbarian on the path of the Zealot can represent a more recent recruit from the Gruul. A Monk following the Way of the Sun Soul would represent a Firefist Striker, though a Kensei Monk could also work within their ranks. A Bard from the College of Blades or Valor would be combat capable and a good at inspiring troops.A Wizard with the Evocation or Warmage school would offer another option from the Sorcerer, though with less weapons and armor. A Ranger might also work into the ranks, though would most frequently use a Mastiff or some sort of bird of prey as their animal companion. The Scout or Mastermind Rogue could fill a tactical role. Other types of Rogues, as well as Druids and Warlocks, don’t typically fit within the Legion. For Druids, this is due to their heavy focus on the natural world. For Rogues, this is due to their focus on trickery, deception, and other unsavory methods. For Warlocks, their esoteric pacts and service to other patrons make them untrustworthy within the legion.

Cult of Rakdos

New Weapons

The Rakdos use a number of strange weapons on the streets, in their arenas, and many more places they’re not wanted. The following options require specific training to become proficient with.

New Spells

The Rakdos use a handful of spells that most sane casters would stray away from. The following spells are on the Sorcerer and Warlock spell lists.

Riot Spikes

Evocation Cantrip

---

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 minute

A creature you touch takes 1d4 force damage. You must make a melee spell attack to touch a non-willing creature. The creature sprouts spikes of force from just underneath their skin. A creature may use these spikes as melee weapons, even if their hands are occupied. The spikes have the finesse and light properties, and deal 1d6 force damage. The spell’s initial damage to the touched creature increases by 1d4 at 11th level (2d4). The damage of the spikes increases to 1d8 at 11th level.

Auger Spree

2nd-level Conjuration

---

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a small drill bit)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

A creature you touch is implanted with a magical auger. You must make a melee spell attack to touch a non-willing creature unless it is incapacitated. Once your concentration on the spell is broken or the duration expires, the auger inside of the target explodes outward, flailing and stabbing.

The initial target takes 2d8 piercing damage, and one random creature within 10 feet of the target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, that creature takes 2d10 piercing damage. On a success, that creature takes half as much damage.

For the next minute, at the start of the initial target’s turn, another random creature within 10 feet of it must make the Dexterity saving throw, repeating each turn.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, select one additional random creature for each slot level above 2nd.



Barbarian Path - Path of Carnage

Pain and cruelty is the way of the Rakdos, and those who can both inflict and take it are among the favored. Gladiators specializing in grisly displays often come from brutal backgrounds, and are skilled both in and out of a ring.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you take this path at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Performance skill. You also gain proficiency with the burning brand, defiler scythe, gore club, hell flail, and shredder blades.

Rites of Mayhem

Also at 3rd level, you learn the Riot Spikes cantrip. You also learn the Auger Spree spell, and may cast it once without using any material components. You must finish a long rest before you can cast it again. Your spellcasting ability for these spells is Charisma.

In addition, you may cast and concentrate on these spells during a rage.

Blessing of Rakdos

Starting at 6th level, when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + half your Barbarian level.

In addition, while you are raging, you have resistance to fire damage.

Unleash

Starting at 10th level, your desire to cause pain can overwhelm your senses. Whenever you enter a rage, you may instead spend two uses of rage to enter an enhanced form of rage. During it, your rage damage is doubled. You may not use your reaction to make opportunity attacks during this rage. Whenever you take damage during this rage, you may use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against a creature within your reach. In addition, attack rolls against you during this rage have advantage.

At 20th level, you may only enter this rage a number of times equal to your Proficiency modifier.

Skull Render

Starting at 14th level, whenever you roll a 17-20 on a melee weapon attack and hit, roll a d6. The target is affected with a condition from the following table for 1 round based upon your result.

Bard College - College of Discord

In Ravnica, riots are as common as rain in some districts. While some may be spontaneous, many are directed. Those of the college of discord consider them to be a force to be created and directed, inspiring such mayhem for the benefit of their guild.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join this college at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the burning brand and hell flail.

Deviant Glee

Starting when you join this college at 3rd level, you’re able to inspire greater cruelty. Whenever a creature uses one of your Bardic Inspiration die to add to its attack roll, that attack deals extra psychic damage equal to the maximum possible result of your Bardic Inspiration die if it hits.

Inspire Riot

Also at 3rd level, you gain the ability to induce a riot more easily. By speaking to a humanoid for at least 1 minute, you can anger them about a specific societal issue. After 1 minute, the creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or fly into a fit of rage. The creature moves up to its speed and attacks the nearest creature with an unarmed attack or improvised weapon.

Whether the attack hits or misses, the target of the attack must also make succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be subject to the same fit of rage. Any creatures subject to it will behave as above, in addition to breaking objects or yelling about the initial subject of their anger.

The rage of a creature lasts for 10 minutes or until it falls unconscious. If the rage ends for a creature, they cannot be enraged again by this feature for another 24 hours. While they are no longer subject to the rage effects, a creature with strong feelings on the initial issue may retain its feelings of anger and continue to riot.

Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Havoc Reveler

Starting at 6th level, you’re able to control the flow of battle to cause further chaos. Whenever a hostile creature misses with an attack that targets only you, you may expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration as a reaction. Choose one hostile creature within 10 feet of you. The attack instead hits that creature. The creature has resistance against the damage from the attack, and must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become hostile towards the creature who originally made the attack. If the creature succeeds on the saving throw, you have advantage on the next attack roll you make against them before the end of your next turn.

Showstopper

Starting at 14th level, you can enact a special performance. If you perform for at least 1 minute, you can attempt to conduct a special ritual. At the end of the performance, you summon 8 Imps, which are hostile to all creatures. Additionally, for 10 minutes, the area within 60 feet of where you stood most often during the performance gains a magical effect. Whenever a creature is reduced to 0 hit points inside the area, it explodes in a blast of blood, fire, and blinding light. Any creature within 10 feet of an exploding creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become stunned for 1 round. On a success, the creature is blinded for 1 round.

Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Monk Tradition - Way of the Shred-Freak

Among the Rakdos, those known as shred-freaks are a strange case. While no less bloodthirsty than their guildmates, they have incredibly keen senses, blinding speed, a bizarre fighting style, and often muse on the finer points of killing. The most skilled among them can cause immense pain with but a single touch.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Performance skill. In addition, you gain proficiency with the hell flail and shredder blades. They are considered monk weapons for you.

Twinstrike

Also at 3rd level, your strikes cut and flow with extreme precision. Whenever you deal slashing damage with a weapon attack, you may immediately move 5 feet. This movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks.

In addition, whenever you use your Flurry of Blows, you may attack twice with a set of shredder blades you’re wielding in place of the unarmed strikes.

Riteknife Spells

At 6th level, you learn the Riot Spikes cantrip. You also learn the Zephyr Strike spell, and may cast it by spending 1 Ki point. Also at 11th level, you may also cast the Steel Wind Strike spell by spending 4 ki points.

Once you cast the spell in this way, you can’t cast it again until you finish a long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting modifier for all of these spells.

Pain Magnification

Starting at 11th level, you’re able to hit your enemies where it hurts most. At the start of your turn, you may spend a Ki point. If you do, any living creature that takes slashing or force damage from you on that turn has disadvantage on Constitution checks and Constitution saving throws until the end of your next turn.

Master of Cruelties

At 17th level, you gain the ability to leave your enemies on the brink of death. As an action on your turn, you can spend 3 ki points to try and inflict a cruel strike on a living creature within your reach. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. If it fails, it is reduced to 1 hit point. If it succeeds, it takes 10d10 force damage. The creature also becomes frightened of you for 1 minute.

Other Rakdos Classes

As entertainers, Bards are well suited for the Rakdos, particularly those from the College of Blades or College of Satire. A Battlemaster or Champion Fighter will fit in with their impressive combat skills. Rogues of all kinds will also find an easy place in the guild. Warlocks with the Fiend Patron are the best way to represent the blood witches and other spellcasters sworn to Rakdos himself. Sorcerers of many origins are also welcome, though those who specialize in fire are the most common. The more orderly and natural magic of Clerics, Druids, and Paladins is at odds with the Rakdos lifestyle.

Golgari Swarm

Gorgon Traits

Gorgons are a race of creatures with snake-like hair, feared for their ability ot turn creatures into stone.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 1, and your Wisdom score increases by 2.

Age. Gorgons reach adulthood at a similar age to humans, but can often live to reach two or three centuries.

Alignment. Gorgons from the undercity tend to resent the laws surface dwellers try to impose on them. Life in the undercity can be harsh, and many turn to theft. Several use their natural talents to become assassins.

Size. Gorgons are slightly taller than the average human woman, ranging from 5 1/2 to 6 feet. Your size is medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Superior Darkvision. Your eyes are naturally adjusted to the tunnels of the undercity. You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Deathly Gaze. As an action, you may glare at a creature within 60 feet of you. That creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus or take 1d6 force damage. If the damage reduces the creature to 0 hit points, it is petrified and turns to stone until the effect is removed.

The damage increases by 1d6 at 5th level (2d6), 11th level 3d6, and 17th level (4d6)

Natural Armor. You have cold, unyielding skin. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 12 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.

Barbarian Path - Path of the Troll-blooded

There are many dark and savage things in the undercity, and trolls are among the most dangerous. The Golgari have developed a dark ritual, allowing one who drinks a troll’s blood to gain their primal might.

Dark Ritual

At 3rd level, your initiation has given you access to newfound magic. You may cast the Feign Death spell, but only as a ritual.

Frenzied Regeneration

Also at 3rd level, your rage brings forth your troll-like abilities. At the start of your turn while raging, you regain a number of hit points equal to your Barbarian level. If you are reduced to 0 hit points while raging, you become stable. Furthermore, you have resistance to poison damage while raging.

In addition, while raging, your features become more twisted and troll-like. You have advantage on all Charisma (Intimidate) checks while raging. You also gain Darkvision with a range of 30 feet. If you already have Darkvision, its range increases by 30 feet.

Grisly Salvage

Starting at 6th level, you are more than accustomed to digging through the muck of the undercity. You have advantage on saving throws against disease and poison.

You also have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) checks involving corpses and dead creatures, such as determining the what weapon caused a wound, or telling if a living or seemingly dead creature is undead.

Bloodbonding

Starting at 10th level, your troll attributes begin to affect you even while you’re not raging. If you don’t already have Darkvision, you gain Darkvision with a range of 30 feet. If you have Darkvision, its range increases by 30 feet. Any Darkvision range gained from this feature is still improved while raging.

In addition, whenever you finish a short rest, you regain additional hit points equal to 2d6+your Constitution modifier.

Feral Scavenging

Starting at 14th level, your savagery while raging reaches new heights. While raging, you gain a Bite attack, which deals 1d6 damage instead of your normal unarmed damage. In addition, you may use this bite as a bonus action a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier. If it hits, you regain hit points equal to your Constitution score. You regain all uses when you finish a long rest.

Ranger Archetype - Swarmcaller

Those among the Golgari know there is safety in numbers, and a Swarmcaller takes this idea to the furthest extent. They specialize in coordinating large swarms of insects to harry their foes, using nature magic to supplement their work.

Companion Swarm

Starting at 3rd level, you can use your magic to create a bond with a swarm of insects.

With 8 hours of work and the expenditure of 25 gp worth of rare mushrooms and reagents, you call forth a swarm of insects to follow you into battle. Your swarm has the stats listed bellow.

At the end of the 8 hours, your swarm gains all the benefits of the Swarm Bond ability. You are limited in how many Swarms you can call, described further under the Swarm Bond ability.

---

Swarm of Insects

Small swarm of tiny beasts, unaligned

---

• Armor Class 12 (natural armor)
• Hit Points 14(3d8)
• Speed 20ft., climb 20 ft.

---

STR	DEX	CON	INT	WIS	CHA
3 (-4)	13 (+1)	10 (+0)	1 (-5)	7 (-2)	1 (-5)

---

• Damage Resistances Bludgeoning, piercing, slashing
• Condition Immunities Charmed, frightened, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, prone, restrained, stunned
• Senses blindsight 10 ft., passive Perception 8

---

Swarm The swarm can occupy another creature’s space and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny insect. The swarm can’t regain hit points or gain temporary hit points, except when specified. Actions

Actions

Bites. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 0ft., one target in the swarm's space. Hit 5 (2d4) piercing damage.

Swarm Bond

Your Swarm gains a variety of benefits while it is linked to you. While it is bonded to you, your healing spells can cause the swarm to regain hit points, and whenever you finish a short rest, you may spend your hit dice to heal the swarm, calling new insects to reform it. Neither of these may methods may increase a swarm past its maximum size. At the end of a long rest, your insect swarm is restored to full hit points as you call in more insects for it.

The swarm obeys your commands as best as it can. It takes its turn on your initiative, though it doesn't take an action unless you command it to. On your turn, you can verbally command the beast where to move (no action required by you). When you take the attack action on your turn, you may substitute one of your attacks to direct the swarm to attack instead. When you take the Dash, Disengage, or Dodge action on your turn, your swarm may take one of those actions as well.

While you are using your Natural Explorer feature, you and your swarm can both move stealthily at a normal pace.

Your swarm has abilities and game statistics determined in part by your level. Your swarm uses your proficiency bonus rather than its own. In addition to the areas where it normally uses its proficiency bonus, your swarm also adds its proficiency bonus to its AC and to its damage rolls. Your Swarm also becomes proficient in all saving throws.

For each level after 3rd, your swarm gains an additional hit die and increases its hit points accordingly. At certain hitpoint values, this also increases the size of the swarm. While your swarm is at 28 or more hit points, it becomes medium, and its attacks deals 4d4 damage. While it has 56 or more hit points, it becomes huge, and its attacks deal 6d4 damage. While it has 84 or more hit points, it becomes gargantuan, and its attacks deal 8d4 damage.

In addition, starting at 6th level, when your swarm has reached sufficient size, you may choose to divide it, or unite the divided pieces. At the end of a long rest, you may direct your swarm to form into multiple distinct swarms, or unite distinct swarms into a single larger one. Divide the swarm’s total hit dice into pools as you select, with no pool having fewer than 3 hit dice. The size, health, and damage of each swarm is then determined as listed above. For example, you might have one medium swarm, or two small swarms.

At the end of a short rest, you may only choose to unite swarms together, rather than separating them. Choose one swarm to have join another. The hit points of the swarm you choose are added onto those of the one you have them join, possibly changing its size.

In addition, whenever you gain the Ability Score Improvement Class feature, the abilities of your swarm and the insects within it improve. You may increase one ability score of your swarms by 2, or increase two ability scores of your swarms by 1. This increase is the same across all swarms you control, and applies to any future swarms you call.

Also, when your swarm is within 5 feet of a type of creature you have chosen as your favored enemy, you and your swarm gain a +2 to your damage rolls with weapon attacks against that enemy. This bonus increases to +4 when you reach 6th level.

Ranger Swarm Casting

In addition, as a Golgari ranger, you also learn Cause Fear when you take this archetype at 3rd level. At 5th level, you learn Web. At 9th level, you learn Feign Death. These spells count as Ranger spells for you, but don’t count against your spells known.

Swarming Coordination

At 7th level, your ability to direct insects grows further. While your swarm can see or hear you, it has advantage on all saving throws.

In addition, when you use the attack action on your turn, if there is a small swarm that can see or hear you, it can use its reaction to make a melee attack.

Swarm Specialization

Starting at 7th level, you may also have your swarm take on more specific attributes. When you finish a long rest, after you have chosen how to divide your swarm, you may select one of the following options for each swarm you have. If they unite later in the day after a short rest, the swarm with the greater hitpoints among them retains its option.

Swarm of Beetles A swarm of beetles gains a burrowing speed of 5 feet

Swarm of Centipedes A creature reduced to 0 hit points by a swarm of centipedes is stable but poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hit points and paralyzed while poisoned in this way.

Swarm of Glow Worms A swarm of glow worms gives of an eerie green glow, emitting bright light for 20 feet and dim light for another 20 feet. The glow worms may stop emitting light as a reaction, and may be commanded to emit it again as a bonus action on your turn.

Swarm of Rot Grubs A swarm of rot grubs has a walking speed of 15 feet and a climbing speed of 10 feet. A creature other than you that ends its turn in a square occupied by Rot Grubs takes necrotic damage equal to half your proficiency modifier.

Swarm of Spiders A swarm of spiders has the following additional traits:

• Spider Climb The swarm can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
• Websense While in contact with a web, the swarm knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web.
• Web Walker The swarm ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing.

Swarm of Wasps A swarm of wasps has a walking speed of 5 feet, a flying speed of 30 feet, and no climbing speed.

Swarm Surge

At 11th level, your swarm gains an increased frenzy. Once on your turn, when a swarm you can see would make an attack, you may instead have that swarm surge out from its space to strike nearby enemies. Your swarm makes an attack against each hostile creature within 5 feet of it, but any damage of these attacks is half of the normal damage.

Swarming Spells

Beginning at 15th level, when you cast a spell targeting yourself, you can also affect a number of separate swarms up to your Wisdom modifier with the spell if those swarms are within 30 feet of you.

Rogue Archetype - Deathrite

Those who have no place else to go often find themselves in the undercity one way or another. It should be no surprise then that many land in the arms of the Golgari. Those who thrive typically learn from the Golgari’s dark and ancient magic, putting it to use to further the guild’s ends.

Bonus Proficiencies

You gain proficiency with the herbalist’s kit and poisoner’s kit.

Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast spells. Note: this functions as the Arcane Trickster feature of the same name, with the following differences.

Cantrips You learn three cantrips: Chill Touch and two other cantrips from the druid spell list. You learn an additional Druid cantrip at 10th level.

Spells Known of 1st level or higher You select your spells from the Druid spell list, and are not restricted by school.

Spellcasting Ability Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Druid spells, as well as Chill Touch.

Darkblast Expertise

Starting at 9th level, you become more skilled at your dark magic. When you hit with a melee or ranged spell attack against an enemy you are hidden from, you may add extra necrotic damage equal to your sneak attack damage to the damage roll.

You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Crypt Infiltrator

At 13th level, you’ve spent more than enough time around death and tombs. By spending 1 minute with a corpse that has been slain in the past hour, you may disguise its reason of death. Any who see the corpse will believe it was slain by a weapon, element, or cause you specify, unless given obvious reason to disbelieve it.

Furthermore, you have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks to find secret doors and passages. Additionally, undead have disadvantage on their Wisdom (Perception) checks to detect you while you are attempting to hide.

Rites of Reaping

Starting at 17th level, you’ve learned dark rites to draw power from the death of your foes. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher on your turn, you may use your bonus action to give one target of that spell disadvantage on their saving throw. After you use this ability, you may not use it again until you either reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points with a melee weapon attack, or finish a long rest.

Additionally, when you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points, you gain 10 temporary hit points.

Other Golgari Classes

The Golgari accept many into their ranks. The Druid Circle of Spores is an option for nature magic, while the Necromancer School for Wizards is suited for those who seek control over undead. For Warlocks, the Undying Patron is well suited for one with a pact with Jarad, the Lich Lord. A Monk of the Way of the Long Death or a Shadow Origin Sorcerer might also find a place in the swarm. Bards, Clerics, and Paladins are less likely to be found among the Golgari.

Gruul Clans

Barbarian Path - Path of the Old Ways

Much has been lost in the Gruul’s past, nature having slowly been swallowed up by city. But still the Gruul fight, their teachings of the primal truths of the world fueling their rage, and their desire to see it restored.

Bloodthirst

Starting at 3rd level, you gain a killer instinct while in the heat of battle. Whenever you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points while raging, you may move up to half your speed without provoking any opportunity attacks, then use a bonus action to make an unarmed attack with advantage.

Gruul Scrapper

Starting at 6th level, you become a master of breaking things and using those things to break other things. You add your proficiency bonus to attack rolls with improvised weapons. Any improvised weapon you use deals 2d6 damage instead of its normal damage, unless it would do more.

In addition, you have advantage on checks made to break objects, and your weapon attacks against objects deal double damage. Furthermore, your weapon attacks against constructs deal 1d6 extra thunder damage.

Stomping Ground

Starting at 10th level, primal magic surges through you during battle. While raging, you may cast the Earth Tremor spell as a bonus action, ignoring the normal rules against casting spells during a rage. Strength is your spellcasting ability for it. You may not use it more than once during a rage.

Ground Assault

Starting at 14th level, the strength of the very earth emboldens you. While raging, you don’t suffer disadvantage for attacking at long range with thrown weapons. Furthermore, if a creature is airborne, your weapon attacks have advantage against it.

In addition, whenever you hit an airborne creature with a weapon attack, it takes 2d6 extra thunder damage. You may also have that creature make a Strength saving throw. The DC is 8+your proficiency modifier+your strength modifier. If it fails, it falls prone and its flying speed (if any) is reduced to 0 feet for the next minute. If it succeeds, it falls prone. You may only force a saving throw in this way a number of times equal to your Strength modifier. You regain all uses when you finish a short rest.

Druid Circle - Circle of the Burning Tree

The shamans of the Burning Tree clan are known for having a wide range of mysterious primal powers. They pass down the histories of hatred, turning their magic to destructive ends against civilized society.

Bonus Cantrip

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you learn the Greenflame Blade cantrip. It counts as a Druid spell for you.

Scorchwalker

Starting at 2nd level, while you maintain concentration on a spell of 1st level or higher, the area near you becomes wreathed in flames. Any creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of you takes fire damage equal to your proficiency modifier.

Wild Emissary

At 6th level, your connection with nature deepens. Whenever you take a short rest in an area of wilderness, you and up to 6 friendly creatures you can see have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks while you rest. At the end of your rest, you and any of those creatures who were also resting regain 1d6 extra hit points if they spent any hit dice during the rest.

In addition, whenever you take a short or long rest in an urban area, you may have the forces of nature follow you. When you begin your rest, you may choose to use this ability. If you do, the area within 60 feet of you becomes difficult terrain for creatures other than you, ivy and vines cracking through stones and rubble filling walkways. If you are sleeping within 10 feet of a bonfire, the spirits of flame within keep watch for you. If a hostile creature ends its turn within 30 feet of the bonfire, it must make a Reflex saving throw or take 1d8 fire damage. These benefits end 1 minute after you finish your rest.

Frenzied Tilling

Starting at 10th level, your magic grows more destructive. Whenever you cast a spell that deals fire damage, you may add your Wisdom modifier to one damage roll of that spell. If that spell is of 1st level or higher, the first time it deals fire damage, you may have a 5 foot square of ground underneath one creature damaged by it become difficult terrain.

In addition, your spells that create difficult terrain also become more dangerous. Any creature that ends its turn in difficult terrain created by a spell that you cast within the past minute takes 1d4 piercing damage.

Primal Visitation

At 14th level, a powerful and savage soul dwells inside of you. At the start of your turn, you may undergo a primal transformation, different from your normal wild shape. Select any beast with a maximum CR equal to ½ your Druid level. Until the end of your turn, your statistics become those of that creature, functioning in the same manner as Wild Shape, except you also retain your size and appearance, and you do not gain any of the creature’s movements speeds other than walking. You may take any actions the creature can perform as normal, using your own body as an imitation for its primal might. At the end of your turn, you gain temporary hit points equal to the Constitution score of the beast you chose.

You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You regain these uses when you finish a long rest.

New Options - Ranger Beast Conclave

There are many strange beasts within Ravnica, and none are more ferocious than those found in the Rubblebelt and other Gruul territories. The following options are available as a variant to the standard animal companion options listed under the Beast Conclave for the Revised Ranger. A Ranger from the Gruul clans may select from these if they have Proficiency in the Animal Handling skill and a Strength score of 13 or greater.

Greater Beasts

These beasts are considerably stronger than those a typical Ranger tames, and with this strength comes a difficulty in training. The following beasts instead gain additional hit dice for every level after 5th, and do not benefit from an ability score increase at 4th level.

Ember Beast. An ember beast is a quadrupedal lizard with an internal flame. It uses the stats for a Fire Snake, as shown in the Monster Manual, except its size is large, it only has resistance to fire, rather than immunity or its other resistances, and it is not vulnerable to cold.

Ranger Clan Casting

In addition, as a Gruul Ranger, you also learn Searing Smite when you take this archetype at 3rd level. At 5th level, you learn Heat Metal. At 9th level, you learn Haste. These spells count as Ranger spells for you, but don’t count against your spells known.

Other Gruul Classes

The Gruul clans are loosely knit, formed of many tribes from many origins. Nearly any sort of Barbarian can find a home among the Gruul clans. Most types of Rangers and Druids fit with them as well. A Sorcerer of the Dragon, Giant, Storm or Pyromancer Origins would also be able to earn a place. Fighters, and to a lesser extent Rogues, are also common, but the subclasses of Eldritch Knight and Arcane Trickster aren’t welcomed due to their orderly form of magic. For similar reasons, Wizards of all schools are shunned. Clerics, Paladins, and Warlocks are likewise turned away by the Gruul, the clans disliking their religious orders or reliance on higher powers.

House Dimir

New Spells

The Dimir keep their secrets close, and among them are several spells which they use to gather or hide information. The following spells are on the Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, and Wizard spell lists.

Mind Ward

Abjuration Cantrip

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Self

Components: S

Duration 1 round

You trace a sigil around your head, warding off unwanted mental influences. Until the end of your next turn, you have resistance against psychic damage. In addition, you have advantage on saving throws to avoid becoming charmed or frightened.

Memory Erasure

2nd-level Enchantment

Casting Time: 1 minute

Range: Touch

Components: S, M (A strand of silk thread and a small glass vial)

Duration: Instantaneous

You attempt to wipe memories from a creature by lowering a thread into its ear. You may target yourself, a willing creature, or a creature that remains incapacitated for the casting time. If you target an incapacitated creature, it may make a Wisdom saving throw to resist the intrusion, and on a success its memories aren't affected.

If your attempt is successful, you designate the memory of an event the target experienced within the past 12 hours and that lasted no more than 10 minutes. You then permanantly eliminate all memory of that event. You must mentally describe the memory you are trying to designate, the target understanding as long as it has a language.

The memory is then stored in the glass vial in the form of a glowing blue magical energy. Breaking or opening the vial causes the memory to be lost. You or another creature capable of casting 2nd level spells may make a DC 20 Intelligence (Arcana) check in an attempt to absorb them memory while opening the vial. On a success, you recall the erased memory with as much detail as the creature it was originally stolen from. Otherwise, the memory is lost as normal.

At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the time limit the memory must have taken place within increases by 12 hours for each slot level above 2nd.

Shadow Slice

Necromancy Cantrip

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 20 feet

Components: S, M (A knife or dagger)

Sorcerer Origin - Vampiric

Of the beings within Ravnica, few are viewed with as much fear as a vampire. Notably however, there are three different varieties, two of which find a place among the shadowy ranks of the Dimir, while the other holds sway in the gleaming cathedrals of the Orzhov.

Vampiric Ancestry

At 1st level, you gain supernatural abilities dependent upon your heritage and kind. Select one of the options below. You learn spells at 1st and 5th level based upon your choice. Spells you learn this way count as sorcerer spells for you, but do not count against your sorcerer spells known. Your choice will also determine other features.

Blood Drinker You are the most commonly thought of vampire, and likely find your place among the Orzhov. You gain an unarmed bite attack, which deals 1d4 piercing damage. Whenever you deal damage to a humanoid with this bite, you regain 1 hitpoint, and you gain enough nourishment to be sustained for half a day. Once you gain that benefit from biting a creature, you may not benefit from biting them again within the next 24 hours.

At 1st level, you learn the Chill Touch cantrip. You also learn the Bane spell. At 5th level, you learn the Vampiric Touch spell.

Mind Drinker Few know the true nature of the vampires found among the Dimir, as they prefer to keep their abilities hidden. You can communicate telepathically with any creature you can see within 30 feet of you that has a language. Whenever you deal psychic damage to a humanoid, you gain enough nourishment to be sustained for one day.

At 1st level, you learn the Vicious Mockery cantrip. You also learn the Dissonant Whispers spell. At 5th level, you learn the Nondetection spell.

Moroii Compared to other vampires, Moroii are something more strange. While the most ancient of Moroii have an alien appearance, you still appear mostly normal at your level of power, but you have an unnatural level of vitality. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.

Instead of your normal lifespan, you now die when you reach 50 years of age. You magically age by one year for every week that passes. Other effects cannot cause you to age. Whenever you reduce a humanoid creature to 0 hit points with necrotic damage, you may choose to knock that creature unconscious rather than killing it. When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points without killing it, you may steal years of their life, reducing your age by 1 year (to a minimum of 20), while increasing their age by 2 years.

At 1st level, you learn the Toll the Dead cantrip. You also learn the Cause Fear spell. At At 5th level, you learn the Bestow Curse spell.

Vampiric Attributes

Starting at 1st level, you gain certain traits no matter your ancestry. You gain darkvision with a radius of 90 feet.

Lifestealing Talent

At 6th level, you’ve grown more adept with your abilities, allowing you to deal with your victims more effectively. When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points on your turn, you may use a bonus action to feed upon them. You regain a hit dice and gain a sorcery point. You must finish a short rest before you may use this ability again.

Blood Drinker On your turn, if you cast a 1st level or higher spell, you may make an attack with your bite as a Bonus action. If it hits, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier.

In addition, you learn the Distant Spell metamagic, or another metamagic of your choice if you already know it. Whenever you spend a sorcery point, you gain resistance to necrotic damage for 1 hour.

Mind Drinker Whenever you cast a spell that deals psychic damage, you may add your Charisma modifier to the damage roll of that spell.

In addition, you learn the Subtle Spell metamagic, or another metamagic of your choice if you already know it. Whenever you spend a sorcery point, you gain resistance to psychic damage for 1 hour.

Moroii Your more monstrous aspects begin to show through as you’ve gained power. You gain an unarmed claw attack, which deals 1d6 slashing damage. You may use your Dexterity modifier in place of your Strength modifier when attacking with your claws. These claws also count as magical for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. Furthermore, whenever you take the attack action to attack with your claws on your turn, you may make two attacks with your claws rather than one.

In addition, you learn the Extended Spell metamagic, or another metamagic of your choice if you already know it. Whenever you spend a sorcery point, you gain resistance to poison damage for 1 hour.

Agent of the Night

At 14th level, your talents reach new heights, arriving as a prime example for your kind. You gain one set of the following based upon your Vampiric Ancestry choice at 1st level.

Blood Drinker You gain the ability to fly, carried aloft by an unseen magical force. Your flying speed is 20 feet while in sunlight, and 40 feet otherwise.

While a creature is under the effects of a spell you have cast that would end if you deal damage to it, you may damage it once with your bite without ending that spell.

Furthermore, your rank among your guild entitles you to proper tithes. Whenever you finish a long rest, a trained bat arrives, delivering to you a flask with enough blood to sustain yourself for a day. In addition, you gain a number of gold pieces equal to your Charisma score.

Mind Drinker While you are within telepathic range of a creature, you may make an attempt to alter it’s memory. The creature makes an Intelligence save against your spell save DC. If they fail, you may alter one memory within their mind. The memory must have occured within the past hour, and you are limited to removing your own presence from it, or erasing any distinguishing marks or details about the other people or objects present. The memory must be no more than 5 minutes in length. On a successful save, you still modify the creature’s memories, but only to erase distinguishing marks or details concerning yourself within a memory of no more than 1 minute.

You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. You regain all uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Additionally, as a bonus action on your turn, you may detect how many and what types of creatures are within 30 feet of you, as well as how many of them can see you.

Moroii Your true nature can be hidden no longer. Your skin turns blue, you sprout wings, and your appearance turns ghoulish. You gain a flying speed of 60 feet. You also have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks.

Whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you may now steal more years of their life to reduce your age by 2 and increase theirs by 5. When you steal life in this way, you may use your one non-friendly creature of your choice within 30 feet of you becomes frightened of you until the start of your next turn. Credit: Dan Scott

Dark Denizen

At 18th level, your abilities have reached their apex, and you’re able to use the life energy you steal to new ends. As an action on your turn, you may spend 3 Sorcery points and spend a hit dice to exude an aura of energy to a distance of 30 feet. For 1 minute, any living creature that starts its turn within the aura must make a Constitution save against your Spell save DC or take 2d6 damage, or half damage on a successful save.

The type is based on your heritage: Necrotic for Blood Drinker, psychic for Mind Drinker, and force for Moroii. Blood, psychic force, or strands of temporal energy swirls around you in a vortex. The aura is considered to be lightly obscured for creatures other than you.

Additionally, Blood Drinker or Moroii has advantage on their bite and claw attacks against creatures in the aura, respectively. Creatures in the aura of a Mind Drinker have disadvantage on saving throws against Vicious Mockery when cast by you.The aura ends prematurely if you are incapacitated.

Actions

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 1 piercing damage.

Other Dimir Classes

The Dimir are a shadowy guild, known to few. In spite of this, they have agents everywhere. Nearly anyone could be a potential Dimir sleeper agent, however some candidates are more likely to be higher among the ranks. A Bard from the College of Whispers is well suited to dealing in dark secrets. A Rogue of nearly any sort will also easily find work with them, though an Arcane Trickster or Assassin is most likely to rise in the ranks. A Warlock with a Great Old One Patron would best represent someone who has made a deal with an entity in the organization, even if they aren’t aware who. A Monk following the Way of the Shadow would fit with them, provided he wished for that sort of work. A Wizard specializing in the Schools of Divination, Enchantment, or Illusion would serve the house’s purposes well. Other classes are less likely to know who they’re truly working for. Paladins and Clerics are often avoided for their purposes, as the rigors of their respective orders often prevent agents from working freely.

Izzet League

Sorcerer Origin - Weird

Weirds are artificial lifeforms, infused with conflicting types of elemental energy as a school of research within the Izzet League.

(1 sorcery points if the spell is a cantrip.)

Lightning. Chain Lightning

Cold. Otiluke’s Freezing Sphere

Water. Maelstrom

Earth. Bones of the Earth

The canister contains one of the elements shown below, and while holding it you may use an action to induce the respective effects. The DC for any saving throws they cause is your spell save DC.

The flame goes out unless you use a bonus action to sustain it. You may use your action to make a melee spell attack with the flame, dealing 1d6 fire damage.
• Pyromatic: A gout of flame rushes from the opening. A creature you point it towards within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 fire damage. The fire then stops.

Lightning Canister. As an action, you can activate the device and select one of the following options.

• Spark: A small arc of electricity comes from the opening. It sheds dim light within 5 feet. The electricity will also arc in the direction of any conductive metals within 5 feet that aren’t on your person. This electricity is harmless, causing only slight discomfort. The electricity cuts out at the end of your next turn unless you use a bonus action to sustain it.
• Shock: A light charge is emitted from the opening. You may use a melee spell attack to try and hit someone with the charge before it dissipates. You have advantage if they’re wearing metal armor. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 lightning damage and can’t take reactions until the start of your next turn.
• Bolt: A line of crackling electricity emits from the opening. The line extends 15 feet long and 5 feet wide in a direction you point it towards. Each creature the line passes through must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 lightning damage.

Additionally, as long as your hand is free, you can emit the canister’s options from the gauntlet when you activate it. If your cannister is destroyed, you can replace it for 50 gold. If the gauntlet is destroyed, you can replace it for 5 gold.

In addition, you also craft another magical mechanism for testing. Select one of the following options

Mizzium Mortar. This object is a small but heavy golden tube. By planting it into the ground, you may target a point you can see within 1 mile as an action. As another action after the tube is planted, you may press a switch on it to activate it, launching a massive ball of fire out of the tube towards the point you chose. Before it lands, it splits into three separate balls, one continuing to the point you chose, and the other two heading for two other random points within 200 feet of the initial point. The balls land at the end of your next turn. Any creature within 20 feet of an impact point must make succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 10d6 fire damage, or half as much on a successful save. Unattended objects and structures take twice as much damage. Once you use this device, it is hot to the touch, and you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Teleportal. This device is a small metallic disc that allows for teleportation. As an action, you may place it on the ground, facing a specific direction. Any creature who steps on the device is teleported 200 feet in that direction. Each creature after the first must roll a 3d10. If the majority of dice were odd, their distance is reduced by the total. If the majority of the dice were even, their distance is increased by the total. If you would be teleported into a place already occupied by an object or creature, you take 4d6 force damage and are teleported into the nearest unoccupied space near the teleportal. After 1 minute, the teleportal deactivates before teleporting into your pocket. You must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Sky Wing. This is a small metallic contraption shaped like a wing. It has 20 hit points and 15 AC. A medium or smaller creature may ride upon it, having a flying speed of 70 feet while doing so. A creature riding it must use its bonus action each turn to steer the board, or else it flies in a random direction, losing 20 feet of altitude in the process. If it hits the ground or obstacles in flight, it is reduced to 0 hit points and crashes. If the device loses all of its hitpoints, the flying speed is reduced to 0 and any creature riding it. You may repair a crashed sky wing during a long rest with 100 gold worth of raw materials.

Train of Thought

At 14th level, you’re able to think through problems at blinding speed. You have advantage on Intelligence (Arcana) and Intelligence (Investigation) checks.

In addition, as an action on your turn, you may rearrange the spells you have memorized. Roll 2d6. You exchange up to that many spells you have memorized of 5th level or lower for other spells in your spellbook. If you do not have a spell to replace one with, you lose access to it until you can memorize your spells again.

Once you use this ability, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Other Izzet Classes

Dragon, Storm, and Pyromancer Origin sorcerers specialize in types of magic that the league commonly uses. Wizards of the Conjuration, Evocation, or Transmutation schools would have their talents valued similarly. Bards from the College of Lore would be welcomed for their varied spellcasting knowledge. Other classes might be included for their spellcasting talents, but in general the Izzet League does not utilize the divine or natural magic common to Clerics, Druids, or others.

Orzhov Syndicate

• If you chose soul, the creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 3d8 necrotic damage, or half as much on a successful save.

• If you choose spell, the next time that creature casts a spell that turn, it must succeed on an Charisma saving throw or lose the spell if it is of 3rd level or lower. If it is above 3rd level or on a success, they take psychic damage equal to the spell’s level instead.

• If you choose steel, the creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or any weapons they are holding are pulled 10 feet through the air in your direction.

The creature may sacrifice an amount of wealth with a value equal to your level x 5 in gold pieces.

The creature then gains advantage on their saving throw against this effect.

A creature who takes this damage must make a Constitution save or become poisoned for 1 minute. This sunlight lasts for 1 hour. Once you use this ability, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Rogue Archetype - Enforcer

While many scoundrels and ruffians work under the employ of the Orzhov, those who are true members take their enterprise quite seriously. They’re well known for their brutal punishments among those indebted, though so much time among the church of deals has given them insight into the vast criminal underworld.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the Religion skill, as well as jeweler’s tools and forgery kits. You also gain proficiency with whips.

Street Specialty

Also at 3rd level, you gain the ability to use sneak attack with attacks using clubs, greatclubs, light hammers, and maces, in addition to your normal options.

In addition, whenever you deal damage to a creature using your sneak attack, you may use your bonus action to give the creature one of the following penalties depending on the type of damage inflicted. The DC of these effects is equal to 8+ your proficiency modifier+your strength or dexterity modifier.

Underworld Connections

Starting at 13th level, you can more easily secure help from those among the syndicate. As an action on your turn, you may attempt to call for backup from your contacts. If you are in place where criminals have access to, the help arrives in the form of 8 Bandits, 4 Thugs, or one Bandit Captain, the DM selecting which is most reasonable. The criminals will work to aid you, making ranged attacks or providing a diversion, but will retreat after 1 minute or if they’re reduced to half their maximum hit points or lower.

Sorcerer Origin - Vampiric

https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/HJwqneq_m

Other Orzhov Classes

The syndicate has many under its employ. Clerics of the Death or Grave domains would be used for those more experienced in dealing with undead or spirits. A Fighter who is a Cavalier or Samurai might serve as a more official guard, though other types would function as thugs or street toughs. A Monk following the Way of Shadows might find work with them as a spy or assassin, as could other varieties of Rogues. A Sorcerer with the Shadow magic origin or a Wizard with the school of Necromancy might find a place as an advisor rather than a proper priest. A Gloom Stalker Ranger might serve as a lookout in the depths of the undercity. A Warlock might have the Celestial patron if they’ve made a pact with the handful of angels the Orzhov employ. A Warlock might also make a deal with the ghost council directly, best represented by the Hexblade patron. A Barbarian following the Path of the Ancestral Guardian might represent an Orzhov guard with their own spiritual aid, either working to pay their debt towards the spirits or inheriting their help in some way. Druids are often too detached from civilized society and the monetary concerns of the guild.

Selesnya Conclave

Monk Way - Way of the Transluminant

Among the teachings of the Selesnya, one preaches the idea of detaching oneself from the world. Rather than the individual, the city, home, or debt, transluminants focus on a primal connection with nature. While this comes almost naturally to some dryads among the guild, with practice, others who practice may separate themselves from their earthly frames.

Mending Touch

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn the Spare the Dying cantrip. In addition, you may spend 2 ki points to cast Cure Wounds. You may also spend 3 ki points to cast Lesser Restoration. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells and any later spells or effects you gain from this tradition.

Fists of Ironwood

Starting at 6th level, you can harness primal power to strike with the full fury of nature. s a bonus action on your turn, you may spend 2 ki points to conjure a pair of magical wooden gauntlets on your arm. This wood is as strong as steel, and gives you a +1 bonus to AC while you are wearing it. In addition, your unarmed strikes that you make as part of the attack action deal an extra 1d6 force damage.

Furthermore, when you conjure these gauntlets, a pair of Saprolings are conjured with them, resting on the gauntlets. They use the stats of Twig Blights, and follow your commands to the best of their ability. They act on your initiative, but have their own set of actions. They can remain on your person as you fight, though gain no special benefits for doing so. When the saprolings are slain, their bodies magically fade away.

After 1 minute, the gauntlets and the saprolings fade away until you conjure them again.

In addition, you can spend 3 ki points to cast Barkskin, targeting yourself.

Flickerform

Starting at 11th level, you’ve learned to move between the physical and spiritual at a moment’s notice. You may spend 3 Ki points to cast Blink.

In addition, you may meditate for 1 minute to focus your vision. For a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier after you finish meditating, you have truesight out to a range of 10 feet. You must finish a long rest before you can mediate this way again.

Naturalize

At 17th level, you can unravel the bonds of civilization with a touch. As a bonus action, you may spend 2 ki points and choose a creature, object or magical effect within 10 feet of you and cast Dispel Magic upon it.

In addition, you may also spend 2 ki points as a bonus action and choose a non-magical object within 10 feet.

If it is made of wood, it sprouts vines and leaves. Any creature holding or wearing it at the start of their turn must succeed on a Strength saving throw or drop the object if it can. If it doesn’t drop the object, it had disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the start of its next turn.

If the object is made of metal, it turns to wood. A creature with formerly metal armor gains a vulnerability to fire and slashing damage for the next 10 minutes or until it removes the armor. A formerly metal weapon that deals piercing or slashing damage is instead treated as a club, or a greatclub if it has the two-handed property.

Altering other objects in either of these ways may have more specific results. A wooden door sprouting vines may become stuck and be much harder to open, while an iron gate changed to wood will be easier to break.

Ranger Archetype - Concourse Knight

Though the conclave preaches peace, they know all too well the power of nature and the needs of defense. Wolf-riders raise wolves from a young age, growing up alongside them until the beasts become a giant size, fitting for a mount. Alongside this, they are given extensive training in combat and natural magic, patrolling the great concourse, as well as ranging far and wide for the guild’s needs.

Wolf-Rider

As a wolf rider, you’ve ranged a wolf pup from a young age to serve as your faithful mount. The two of you share a magical bond, linking you together for life.

Your wolf companion has the stats of a dire wolf, except it wears special barding that causes its AC to be 16 when wearing it, functioning similarly to a breastplate.

If your wolf companion is ever slain, it magically fades away, before returning to life next dawn, appearing nearby to you.

Rider’s Bond

Your wolf companion behaves in a special manner while it is linked to you. It primarily serves as your mount, obeying your commands as best it can. If you are incapacitated or absent, your wolf companion acts on its own.

While you are not riding your wolf, it rolls for initiative like any other creature, but due to its training it will seek to stay close to protect you. It will use its movement and actions to try and end its turn within 10 feet of you. In addition, its caution gives it disadvantage on attack rolls it makes as part of an attack action.

When using your Natural Explorer feature, you and your wolf companion can both move stealthily at a normal pace.

Your wolf companion has abilities and game statistics determined in part by your level. Your companion uses your proficiency bonus rather than its own. In addition to the areas where it normally uses its proficiency bonus, your wolf companion also adds its proficiency bonus to its AC.

Your wolf companion gains proficiency in two skills of your choice. It also becomes proficient with all saving throws.

For each level after 5th, your animal companion gains an additional hit die and increases its hit points accordingly.

Whenever you gain the Ability Score Improvement class feature, your companion’s abilities also improve. Your companion can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or it can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, your companion can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature unless its description specifies otherwise.

In addition, as a Selesnya ranger, you also learn Shield of Faith when you take this archetype at 3rd level. At 5th level, you learn See Invisibility. At 9th level, you learn Beacon of Hope. These spells count as Ranger spells for you, but don’t count against your spells known.

Common Bond

At 5th level, you’re able to fight better in sync with your animal companion. Whenever you make an attack with a light weapon, if the target is within 5 feet of your wolf companion, you have advantage on the attack roll.

If you are using the Revised Ranger variant, you also gain the Coordinated Attack feature at 5th level, as shown under the Beast Conclave archetype.

Unflinching Courage

At 7th level, while your wolf companion can see you, it has advantage on all saving throws.

Overwhelm

At 11th level, once per turn, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack while riding your wolf, it may try to shove the target of that attack without using an action.

Shielded Passage

At 15th level, whenever an attacker that your companion can see hits it with an attack, it can use its reaction to halve the attack’s damage against it.

Warlock Patron - Lifesong

Converts to the Selesnya Conclave come from many backgrounds, though aren’t always brought into the fold willingly. For many who seek to abuse the guild’s generosity, the glory and splendor of their teachings may sometimes awaken something within them, the creature soon finding itself in service to the will of Mat’Selesnya.

Expanded Spells

The Lifesong lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you

Lifesong Expanded Spells

Warlock Level	Spells
1st	Animal Friendship, Healing Word
3rd	Animal Messenger, Warding Wind
5th	Daylight, Speak with Plants
7th	Grasping Vine, Guardian of Nature
9th	Commune with Nature, Dawn

Beast’s Herald

Starting at 1st level, you become capable of speaking with beasts. Beasts can understand your speech, and you gain the ability to decipher their noises and motions. Most beasts lack the intelligence to convey or understand sophisticated concepts, but a friendly beast could relay what it has seen or heard in the recent past. This ability doesn’t grant you friendship with beasts, though you can combine this ability with gifts to curry favor with them as you would with any nonplayer character.

In addition, you also learn the Druidcraft cantrip.

Glare of Subdual

Starting at 6th level, you gain resistance to radiant damage.

In addition, when you or a friendly creature you can see takes damage, you may use your reaction to emit a bright light. A number of hostile creatures up to your Charisma modifier within 30 feet of you who can see you must make a Dexterity saving throw or be blinded for 1 round.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Chorus of Might

Starting at 10th level, whenever you roll initiative, you and up to five friendly creatures you can see gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier. For 1 minute, the first time you and each of those creatures deal damage to a hostile creature, that hostile creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be knocked prone.

Serene Remembrance

Starting at 14th level, you may tap into the whispers of the past to harness ancient magic.

You may cast Legend Lore once. When you do, you also tap into the memory of ancient primal magic. Choose one 6th or 7th level spell from the druid spell list. Until you finish a long rest, you may cast that spell in place of your arcanum spell of the same level. You regain the ability to cast Legend Lore when you finish a long rest.

Other Selesnya Classes

Barbarians are common converts to the conclave, though seek to control their rage. Totem Warriors focused upon the Hawk, Wolf, or Wurm are rather common. A Barbarian with the path of the Zealot may also be a willing herald. Bards from the College of Glamour or Valor are also welcomed to better spread the message and join the chorus. Clerics of the Nature Domain may worship Mat’Selesnya more directly. Druids are among the most common spellcasters of the Selesnya, many of them from the circle of Dreams or the Circle of the Shepherd. Many Fighters form the ranks of the conclave as well, Cavaliers being common due to their use of mounts, and Bannerets for their leadership skills, but also including Arcane Archers who follow a more natural path. Paladins of Selesnya swear themselves to the Oath of Ancients, seeking to defend the light and life of the world. In addition to the Concourse Knight, other types of Rangers can also be found among the conclave. Scout Rogues are welcomed for their surveying skills, and while the conclave does accept criminals, there is much pressure to reform.

Sorcerers and Wizards are less common among the conclave. Their individuality and studious nature often put them at odds with the teachings of the conclave.

Simic Combine

New Options - Simic Hybrid

There are many strange improvements added to those among the combine, various clades focusing on different end goals.

The following options are available to you when you choose an animal enhancement at 1st or 5th level:

Chameleonic Hide. You gain proficiency with the Stealth skill. In addition, you can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, mist, and other natural phenomena.

Envenom. You gain an unarmed bite attack, which may use your Dexterity modifier for attack and damage rolls. When you bite a creature, you may choose to inject venom into it. That creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 2d6 poison damage, or half as much on a failed save.

The save DC for this ability is your 8+your Proficiency modifier your Constitution modifier. You may use this venom a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier. You regain all uses when you finish a short or long rest.

The damage of this poison increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (3d6) 11th level (4d6) and 17th level (5d6).

Ocular Enhancement. Your darkvision is enhanced, and you can see in full color in darkness. Creatures or objects that you can see within range of your darkvision that emit heat, such as living creatures or hot coals, give off a faint glow. You gain proficiency with the Perception skill.

Standing Leap. Your walking speed increases by 5 feet. Your long jump distance is up to 30 feet, and your high jump is up to 15 feet, with or without a running start.

The following options are available to you when you choose an animal enhancement at 5th level:

Aquastrand Strider. You ignore movement restrictions caused by webbing. While in contact with a web, you know the exact location of of any other creature in contact with the same web. In addition, you can cast Web once. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for it. You may not cast it again until you finish a long rest.

Bioshift. You may cast Alter Self and Enhance Ability. Constitution is your spellcasting modifier for these spells. Once you cast one of these spells, you may not cast either again using this feature until you finish a long rest.

Sonar Adaptation. You have blindsight to a range of 30 feet. You can’t use this blindsight while you are deafened. The range of this blindsight is doubled underwater. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing.

Druid Circle - Circle of Plasm

Druids among the combine seem strange to those among other circles, usually being viewed as vile or unnatural. Those among the circle see their work differently, as the slimes and oozes they work with are among the most primal sort of life there is.

Bonus Cantrip

When you join this circle at 2nd level, you learn the Acid Splash cantrip.

Slime Molding

The research of your circle has led to your ability to assume stranger forms. Starting at 2nd level, you can expend two uses of Wild Shape at the same time to transform into an ooze with a challenge rating as high as 1, but an Intelligence 12 or lower.

Starting at 4th level, you can instead transform into an ooze with a challenge rating as high as your druid level divided by 2, rounded down.

While in the form of an ooze, if you are subject to the Split feature, you select one of the split oozes to transfer your mind to. The other ooze becomes a normal ooze, and behaves as an ooze of its type normally would.

Plasm Capture

At 6th level, you gain access to Counterspell and are considered to always have it prepared. It doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day, and counts as a druid spell for you.

In addition, when you successfully interrupt a spell using Counterspell, you may expend a use of wildshape to conjure an ooze next to the creature who cast the spell you countered. The ooze must be one you could transform into using your Slime Molding feature.

Rapid Hybridization

Starting at 10th level, you may quickly adapt forms to suit your needs. You may touch a creature and expend a use of wild shape. Select two options from the Simic Hybrid’s animal enhancement feature that are available at 1st level, and one additional option from that feature that is available at 5th level. The creature you touch gains the benefits of those options for one hour.

Mystic Genesis

At 14th level, you may use a special type of miming slime to duplicate a creature. You may cast the Simulacrum spell once without using any material components. You must wait one week before you may cast the spell in this way again.

Sorcerer Origin - Mutant

Evolution is the primary driving force among the Simic, and you are a prime example of that. With the magical modifications to your form, you’ve been doctored towards a specific goal, whether that be understanding, endurance, or raw magical power.

Bonus Cantrip

When you choose this origin at 1st level, you learn the Primal Savagery cantrip. It counts as a Sorcerer cantrip for you.

Clade Initiate

Also at 1st level, you gain certain benefits depending on your clade of origin. Select one of the following clade options. At the Sorcerer levels listed, you learn the associated spells. These spells do not count against your Sorcerer spells known, and they count as Sorcerer spells for you.

Crypsis Clade.

Sorcerer Level	Spells
1st	Alarm, Protection from Evil and Good
3rd	Invisibility, Pass without Trace
5th	Glyph of Warding, Nondetection

Fin Clade.

Sorcerer Level	Spells
1st	Expeditious Retreat, Jump
3rd	Misty Step, Spider Climb
5th	Haste, Water Walk

Gyre Clade.

Sorcerer Level	Spells

3rd	Lesser Restoration, See Invisibility
5th	Dispel Magic, Remove Curse

Hull Clade.

Sorcerer Level	Spells
1st	False Life, Mage Armor
3rd	Barkskin, Protection from Poison
5th	Beacon of Hope, Protection from Energy

In addition, you may cast the 1st level spells you gain from this feature without using a spell slot. You may cast these spells in this way a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier. You regain the ability to cast them in this way when you finish a long rest.

Thriving Energy

At 6th level, you gain the ability to temporarily shift your form in more subtle ways. You gain a number special dice known as mutation dice, which are d10s. Your total number of mutation die is equal to your Constitution modifier+your Proficiency modifier. You may expend one mutation die to roll it and add it to an ability check or saving you make using Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, or to a spell attack roll.

When you finish a short rest, you may expend mutation die and roll it, regaining hit points as though it were a hit die. In addition, you may expend 2 mutation die at the end of a short rest to gain 1 Sorcery point. You regain all of your mutation die when you finish a long rest.

When you reach 11th level, your mutation dice become d12s.

Adaptive Mutation

Starting at 14th level, you can cast the Alter Self spell at will. In addition to the standard options, you may also choose to grow wings, giving yourself a flying speed of 60 feet as long as you concentrate on the spell.

Breeding Pool

At 18th level, your place among the guild has led to the creation of redundant backups. When you are slain, you awaken 24 hours later in an incubation pod belonging to your guild, nearest to where you where you were. When you are revived in this way, roll a d6. Your race changes depending on the result rolled.

You may add or subtract 1 from the result of the d6.

New Options - Ranger Beast Conclave

Many curious creatures inhabit Ravnica, and none are more strange than those developed in the laboratories of the Simic. The following options are available as a supplement to the standard animal companion rules listed under the Beast Conclave for the Revised Ranger. A Ranger from the Simic Combine may select from these if they have Proficiency in the Nature skill and an Intelligence score of 13 or greater.

Beast Options

You may select from the following beasts in addition to the normal options when choosing an animal companion.

Giant Crab

Giant Frog.

Octopus. If you select this option, the beast’s base hit points become 9 (2d8), instead of 3 (1d6).

Reef Shark.

In addition, at 3rd level, your animal companion gains the benefit of either the Nimble Climber or Underwater Adaptation options from the Simic Hybrid’s Animal Enhancement racial feature, or the following option:

Terrestrial Adaptation. The creature can breathe air and water, and has a walking speed equal to half its swimming speed.

Beast Improvements

Whenever your animal companion gains the benefit of an Ability Score Increase, you also gain the following options for how to use that feature.

Minor Shaping. One of the animal companion’s ability scores of your choice increases by 1. The animal companion gains the benefit of one option from the Simic Hybrid’s Animal Enhancement feature that it does not already have, restricted to the options available at 1st level. This may include the options presented earlier in this section.

Major Shaping. The animal companion gains the benefit of one option from the Simic Hybrid’s Animal Enhancement feature that it does not already have, restricted to the options available at 5th level. This may include the options presented earlier in this section.

Other Simic Classes

The combine has undergone some reforms in recent years, though they are still eager to expand into new membership. Druids of the Circle of the Moon who are more curious might be found among them, as might those of the Circle of the Land who focus upon the Coast, the Simic Zonots being the only access to the ancient ocean. Monster Slayer or Hunter rangers might be welcomed for their assistance in tracking down loose experiments. Wizards specializing in Conjuration or Transmutation are frequent among research circles. A Warlock with the Kraken pact may represent an initiate testing magical effects for a grander project of the guild as a whole. Other classes would often fall under test subjects rather than researchers. Clerics and Paladins aren’t often seen among the Simic, due to their divine magic conflicting with the combine’s more physical research.
