Dragonborn M 30 Str 2, Cha 1 Description Source: Player's Handbook p. 32 Age Young dragonborn grow quickly. They walk hours after hatching, attain the size and development of a 10-year-old human child by the age of 3, and reach adulthood by 15. They live to be around 80. Alignment Dragonborn tend to extremes, making a conscious choice for one side or the other in the cosmic war between good and evil (represented by Bahamut and Tiamat, respectively). Most dragonborn are good, but those who side with Tiamat can be terrible villains. Size Dragonborn are taller and heavier than humans, standing well over 6 feet tall and averaging almost 250 pounds. Your size is Medium. Draconic Ancestry Draconic Ancestry You have draconic ancestry. Choose one type of dragon from the Draconic Ancestry table. Your breath weapon and damage resistance are determined by the dragon type, as shown in the table. Dragon | Damage Type | Breath Weapon Black | Acid | 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save) Blue | Lightning | 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save) Brass | Fire | 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save) Bronze | Lightning | 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save) Copper | Acid | 5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save) Gold | Fire | 15 ft. cone (Dex. save) Green | Poison | 15 ft. cone (Con. save) Red | Fire | 15 ft. cone (Dex. save) Silver | Cold | 15 ft. cone (Con. save) White | Cold | 15 ft. cone (Con. save) Breath Weapon You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can't use it again until you complete a short or long rest. Damage Resistance You have resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants. Dwarf (Hill) M 25 Con 2, Wis 1 Description Source: Player's Handbook p. 20 Dwarven Toughness Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level. Age Dwarves mature at the same rate as humans, but they're considered young until they reach the age of 50. On average, they live about 350 years. Alignment Most dwarves are lawful, believing firmly in the benefits of a well-ordered society. They tend toward good as well, with a strong sense of fair play and a belief that everyone deserves to share in the benefits of a just order. Size Dwarves stand between 4 and 5 feet tall and average about 150 pounds. Your size is Medium. Speed Your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor. Darkvision Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 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. Dwarven Resilience You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage. Dwarven Combat Training You have proficiency with the battleaxe, handaxe, light hammer, and warhammer. Tool Proficiency You gain proficiency with the artisan's tools of your choice: Smith's tools, brewer's supplies, or mason's tools. Stonecunning Whenever you make an Intelligence (History) check related to the origin of stonework, you are considered proficient in the History skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Dwarvish. Dwarvish is full of hard consonants and guttural sounds, and those characteristics spill over into whatever other language a dwarf might speak. Dwarf (Mountain) M 25 Con 2, Str 2 Description Source: Player's Handbook p. 20 Dwarven Armor Training You have proficiency with light and medium armor.

When you reach 5th level, you can also cast the darkness spell once per day; you must finish a long rest in order to cast the spell again using this trait. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells. Drow Weapon Training You have proficiency with rapier, shortsword, and hand crossbow. Age Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old. Alignment Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others' freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good than not. Size Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium. Superior Darkvision Accustomed to the depths of the Underdark, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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. Keen Senses You have proficiency in the Perception skill. Fey Ancestry You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep. Trance Elves don't need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is "trance.") While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. If you meditate during a long rest, you finish the rest after only 4 hours. You otherwise obey all the rules for a long rest; only the duration is changed. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.

Speak with Small Beasts Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas with Small or smaller beasts. Forest gnomes love animals and often keep squirrels, badgers, rabbits, moles, woodpeckers, and other creatures as beloved pets. Age Gnomes mature at the same rate humans do, and most are expected to settle down into an adult life by around age 40. They can live 350 to almost 500 years. Alignment Gnomes are most often good. Those who tend toward law are sages, engineers, researchers, scholars, investigators, or inventors. Those who tend toward chaos are minstrels, tricksters, wanderers, or fanciful jewelers. Gnomes are good-hearted, and even the tricksters among them are more playful than vicious. Size Gnomes are between 3 and 4 feet tall and average about 40 pounds. Your size is Small.

Tinker You have proficiency with artisan's tools (tinker's tools). Using those tools, you can spend 1 hour and 10 gp worth of materials to construct a Tiny clockwork device (AC 5, 1 hp). The device ceases to function after 24 hours (unless you spend 1 hour repairing it to keep the device functioning), or when you use your action to dismantle it; at that time, you can reclaim the materials used to create it. You can have up to three such devices active at a time.

Half-Elf M 30 Cha 2 Description Source: Player's Handbook p. 38 Age Half-elves mature at the same rate humans do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They live much longer than humans, however, often exceeding 180 years. Alignment Half-elves share the chaotic bent of their elven heritage. They value both personal freedom and creative expression, demonstrating neither love of leaders nor desire for followers. They chafe at rules, resent others' demands, and sometimes prove unreliable, or at least unpredictable. Size Half-elves are about the same size as humans, ranging from 5 to 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium. Darkvision Thanks to your elf blood, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 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.

Half-Orc M 30 Str 2, Con 1 Intimidation Description Source: Player's Handbook p. 40 Age Half-orcs mature a little faster than humans, reaching adulthood around age 14. They age noticeably faster and rarely live longer than 75 years. Alignment Half-orcs inherit a tendency toward chaos from their orc parents and are not strongly inclined toward good. Half-orcs raised among orcs and willing to live out their lives among them are usually evil. Size Half-orcs are somewhat larger and bulkier than humans, and they range from 5 to well over 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

You can see in dim light within 60 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.

You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest. Savage Attacks When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can roll one of the weapon's damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Orc. Orc is a harsh, grating language with hard consonants. It has no script of its own but is written in the Dwarvish script. Halfling (Lightfoot) S 25 Dex 2, Cha 1 Description Source: Player's Handbook p. 28 Naturally Stealthy You can attempt to hide even when you are obscured only by a creature that is at least one size larger than you. Age A halfling reaches adulthood at the age of 20 and generally lives into the middle of his or her second century. Alignment Most halflings are lawful good. As a rule, they are good-hearted and kind, hate to see others in pain, and have no tolerance for oppression. They are also very orderly and traditional, leaning heavily on the support of their community and the comfort of their old ways. Size Halflings average about 3 feet tall and weigh about 40 pounds. Your size is Small. Lucky When you roll a 1 on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. Brave You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. Halfling Nimbleness You can move through the space of any creature that is of a size larger than yours. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Halfling. The Halfling language isn't secret, but halflings are loath to share it with others. They write very little, so they don't have a rich body of literature. Their oral tradition, however, is very strong. Almost all halflings speak Common to converse with the people in whose lands they dwell or through which they are traveling.

Humans typically learn the languages of other peoples they deal with, including obscure dialects.

Tiefling M 30 Cha 2, Int 1 Charisma Description Source: Player's Handbook p. 42 Age Tieflings mature at the same rate as humans but live a few years longer. Alignment Tieflings might not have an innate tendency toward evil, but many of them end up there. Evil or not, an independent nature inclines many tieflings toward a chaotic alignment. Size Tieflings are about the same size and build as humans. Your size is Medium. Darkvision Thanks to your infernal heritage, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 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. Hellish Resistance You have resistance to fire damage. Infernal Legacy You know the thaumaturgy cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the hellish rebuke spell as a 2nd-level spell; you must finish a long rest in order to cast the spell again using this trait. Once you reach 5th level, you can also cast the darkness spell; you must finish a long rest in order to cast the spell again using this trait. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Infernal. Aven (Hawk-Headed) M 25 Dex 2, Wis 2 Perception Description Source: Plane Shift: Amonkhet p. 16 Hawkeyed You have proficiency in the Perception skill. In addition, attacking at long range doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack rolls. Age Like humans, aven reach adulthood in their late teens and can theoretically live into their 80s. Of course, most find a glorious (or inglorious) death long before that point. Alignment Most aven lean toward some form of neutrality. Ibis-headed aven, focused more on knowledge than any other virtue, are usually neutral. Hawk-headed aven are inclined toward lawful neutral. Size Aven stand from 5 to 6 feet tall, but their bodies are slender and their bones are partially hollow to facilitate their flight. Your size is Medium. Flight You have a flying speed of 30 feet.

If your twin is dead (or if you were born without a twin), you can't be frightened. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Khenra. Naga M 30 Con 2, Int 1 Description Source: Plane Shift: Amonkhet p. 21 Age Like humans, naga reach adulthood in their late teens. They show no signs of aging beyond that point except for growing larger, so in theory, a naga could live well over a century. Alignment Most naga are either neutral or neutral evil in alignment. Size Naga stand about 5 feet tall when upright, but the total length of their bodies, head to tail, ranges from 10 to as much as 20 feet. Your size is Medium. Speed Burst By lowering your body to the ground and propelling yourself with your arms, you can move more quickly for a time. As a bonus action on your turn, if you have both hands free, you can increase your walking speed by 5 feet until the end of your turn. Natural Weapons Your fanged maw and constricting serpentine body are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with your bite, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, and your target must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a failed save, the target takes 1d4 poison damage. If you hit with your constrict attack, you deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, and the target is grappled (escape DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and you can't constrict another target. Poison Immunity You are immune to poison damage and can't be poisoned. Poison Affinity You gain proficiency with the poisoner's kit. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Naga. Aven M 25 Dex 2, Wis 2 Perception Description Source: Plane Shift: Dominaria p. 6 Age Like humans, aven reach adulthood in their late teens and can live into their 80s.

Hawkeyed You have proficiency in the Perception skill. In addition, attacking at long range doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack rolls. Aetherborn M 30 Cha 2 Intimidation Description Source: Plane Shift: Kaladesh p. 17 Age Aetherborn come into being as adults and live no more than a few years. Alignment As a rule, aetherborn are driven by hedonism and self-interest, making them neutral at best and thoroughly evil at worst. Neutral aetherborn might devote much of their time (and wealth) to parties and social activity, while evil aetherborn are usually involved in the criminal underworld. Size Aetherborn are about the same size as humans, ranging from 5 to 6 feet tall. They are quite light—only about 100 pounds—and their weight diminishes as they age and more and more of their substance returns to the aethersphere. Your size is Medium. Darkvision Thanks to your heritage, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 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. Born of Aether You have resistance to necrotic damage. Menacing You have proficiency in the Intimidation skill. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and two other languages of your choice. Gift of the Aetherborn An unknown aetherborn, desperately seeking a means to extend their short life, discovered a process of transformation that prolonged their existence—by giving them the ability to feed on the life essence of other beings. Since then, other aetherborn have learned and carried out this monstrous transformation, and aetherborn with this "gift" have become a small minority among an already small population. A gifted aetherborn has the ability to drain the life essence of other beings. Similar to the way heat is transferred from a warm object to a cold one, a gifted aetherborn need only touch another living being with a clawed hand to draw life essence out, fueling their own continued existence while draining strength and vitality from their victim. For many aetherborn, living as they do for indulgence and instant gratification, the concepts of "want" and "need" are virtually synonymous. But Aetherborn with this gift understand what it is to truly need, for they develop a hunger for life essence that far exceeds any desires they might have felt before their transformation. A gifted aetherborn who abstains from this feeding deteriorates even more rapidly than other aetherborn, while enduring unspeakable agony caused by the deprivation of life energy. At the DM's option, an aetherborn character can research methods of achieving this dark "gift." The process is similar to inventing and manufacturing a rare magic item (see "Inventing and Manufacturing Devices" earlier in this document). But rather than aether, the process requires a variety of rare unguents and unusual ingredients that make up the cost of researching and undergoing the transformation. An aetherborn with this gift gains the Drain Life ability: a natural attack that deals 1d6 necrotic damage and restores the same number of hit points to the aetherborn. However, if the aetherborn goes for 7 days without dealing this damage, their hit point maximum is reduced by 1d6 per week. This reduction can't be removed until the aetherborn has used their Drain Life ability and completed a long rest. Dwarf (Kaladesh) M 25 Con 2, Wis 1 Description Source: Plane Shift: Kaladesh p. 19 Age Dwarves mature at the same rate as humans, but they're considered young until they reach the age of 50. On average, they live about 350 years. Alignment Most dwarves are lawful, believing firmly in the benefits of a well-ordered society. They tend toward good as well, with a strong sense of fair play and a belief that everyone deserves to share in the benefits of a just order. Size Dwarves stand around 5 feet tall and average about 150 pounds. Your size is Medium. Speed Your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor. Darkvision Accustomed to life underground in your race's ancient past, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 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. Dwarven Resilience You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage. Dwarven Toughness Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level. Artisan's Expertise You gain proficiency with two kinds of artisan's tools of your choice. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. In addition, whenever you make an Intelligence (History) check related to the origin of any architectural construction (including buildings, public works such as canals and aqueducts, and the massive cogwork that underlies much of the construction of Ghirapur), you are considered proficient in the History skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Dwarvish. Dwarvish is full of hard consonants and guttural sounds, and those characteristics spill over into whatever other language a dwarf might speak. Elf (Kaladesh) (Bishatar and Tirahar) M 35 Dex 2, Wis 1 Perception Description Source: Plane Shift: Kaladesh p. 21 Fleet of Foot Your ground speed increases to 35 feet. Mask of the Wild You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena. Age Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old. Alignment Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others' freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good than not. Size Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium. Darkvision Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 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. Keen Senses You have proficiency in the Perception skill. Elf Weapon Training You have proficiency with the longsword, shortsword, shortbow, and longbow. Fey Ancestry You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep. Trance Elves don't need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is "trance.") While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. If you meditate during a long rest, you finish the rest after only 4 hours. You otherwise obey all the rules for a long rest; only the duration is changed. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires. Elf (Kaladesh) (Vadahar) M 30 Dex 2, Wis 1 Perception Wisdom Description Source: Plane Shift: Kaladesh p. 21 Cantrip You know one cantrip of your choice from the druid spell list. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it. Extra Language You can speak, read, and write one extra language of your choosing.

Siren M 25 Cha 2 Description Source: Plane Shift: Ixalan p. 17 Alignment Most sirens lean toward chaotic alignment, cherishing the freedom and independence that comes from joining a pirate crew. Size Sirens stand about 5 to 6 feet tall, but their bodies are slender and their bones partially hollow to facilitate their flight. Your size is Medium. Siren's Song You know the friends cantrip and can cast it without material components. Flight You have a flying speed of 30 feet. You can't use your flying speed while you wear medium or heavy armor. (If your campaign uses the variant rule for encumbrance, you can't use your flying speed if you are encumbered.) Languages You can speak, read, and write Common (if it exists in your campaign) and Siren. Vampire M 30 Cha 2, Wis 1 Description Source: Plane Shift: Ixalan p. 14 Age Vampires don't mature and age in the same way that other races do. Alignment Vampires might not have an innate tendency toward evil, but many of them end up there. Evil or not, their strict hierarchies incline them toward a lawful alignment. Size Vampires are the same size and build as humans. Your size is Medium. Bloodthirst You can drain blood and life energy from a willing creature, or one that is grappled by you, incapacitated, or restrained. Make a melee attack against the target. If you hit, you deal 1 piercing damage and 1d6 necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and you regain hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces it's hit point maximum to 0. Feast of Blood When you drain blood with your Bloodthirst ability, you experience a surge of vitality. Your speed increases by 10 feet, and you gain advantage on Strength and Dexterity checks and saving throws for 1 minute. Vampiric Resistance You have resistance to necrotic damage. Darkvision You can see in dim light within 60 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. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common (if it exists in your campaign) and Vampire. Changeling M 30 Cha 2 Description Source: Eberron: Rising from the Last War p. 17, Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron p. 60 Age Changelings mature slightly faster than humans but share a similar lifespan—typically a century or less. While a changeling can transform to conceal their age, the effects of aging affect them similarly to humans. Alignment Changelings tend toward pragmatic neutrality, and few changelings embrace evil. Size Your size is Medium. Shapechanger As an action, you can change your appearance and your voice. You determine the specifics of the changes, including your coloration, hair length, and sex. You can also adjust your height and weight, but not so much that your size changes. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change. You can't duplicate the appearance of a creature you've never seen, and you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs that you have. Your clothing and equipment aren't changed by this trait. You stay in the new form until you use an action to revert to your true form or until you die. Changeling Instincts You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, and Persuasion. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and two other languages of your choice. Kalashtar M 30 Wis 2, Cha 1 Description Source: Eberron: Rising from the Last War p. 29, Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron p. 62 Age Kalashtar mature and age at the same rate as humans. Alignment The noble spirit tied to a kalashtar drives it toward lawful and good behavior. Most kalashtar combine strong self-discipline with compassion for all beings, but some kalashtar resist the virtuous influence of their spirit. Size Your size is Medium. Dual Mind You have advantage on all Wisdom saving throws. Mental Discipline You have resistance to psychic damage. Mind Link You can speak telepathically to any creature you can see, provided the creature is within a number of feet of you equal to 10 times your level. You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language. When you're using this trait to speak telepathically to a creature, you can use your action to give that creature the ability to speak telepathically with you for 1 hour or until you end this effect as an action. To use this ability, the creature must be able to see you and must be within this trait's range. You can give this ability to only one creature at a time; giving it to a creature takes it away from another creature who has it. Severed from Dreams Kalashtar sleep, but they don't connect to the plane of dreams as other creatures do. Instead, their minds draw from the memories of their otherworldly spirit while they sleep. As such, you are immune to spells and other magical effects that require you to dream, like dream, but not to spells and other magical effects that put you to sleep, like sleep. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common, Quori, and one other language of your choice.

Shifting Feature Whenever you shift, you gain 1d6 additional temporary hit points. While shifted, you have a +1 bonus to your Armor Class. Age Shifters are quick to mature both physically and emotionally, reaching young adulthood at age 10. They rarely live to be more than 70 years old. Alignment Shifters tend toward neutrality, being more focused on survival than concepts of good and evil. A love of personal freedom can drive shifters toward chaotic alignments.

Warforged M 30 Con 2 Description Source: Eberron: Rising from the Last War p. 35, Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron p. 67 Age A typical warforged is between two and thirty years old. The maximum warforged lifespan remains a mystery; so far, warforged have shown no signs of deterioration due to age. You are immune to magical aging effects. Alignment Most warforged take comfort in order and discipline, tending toward law and neutrality. But some have absorbed the morality, or lack thereof, of the beings with which they served. Size Your size is Medium. Constructed Resilience You were created to have remarkable fortitude, represented by the following benefits: • You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage. • You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe. • You are immune to disease. • You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. Sentry's Rest When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn't render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal. Integrated Protection Your body has built-in defensive layers, which can be enhanced with armor: • You gain a +1 bonus to Armor Class. • You can don only armor with which you have proficiency. To don armor other than a shield, you must incorporate it into your body over the course of 1 hour, during which you remain in contact with the armor. To doff armor, you must spend 1 hour removing it. You can rest while donning or doffing armor in this way. • While you live, the armor incorporated into your body can't be removed against your will. Specialized Design You gain one skill proficiency and one tool proficiency of your choice. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice. Centaur M 40 Str 2, Wis 1 Description Source: Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica p. 15 Age Centaurs mature and age at about the same rate as humans. Alignment Centaurs are inclined toward neutrality. Those who join the Selesnya are more often neutral good, while those who join the Gruul are typically chaotic neutral. Size Centaurs stand between 6 and 7 feet tall, with their equine bodies reaching about 4 feet at the withers. Your size is Medium. Fey Your creature type is fey, rather than humanoid. Charge If you move at least 30 feet straight toward a target and then hit it with a melee weapon attack on the same turn, you can immediately follow that attack with a bonus action, making one attack against the target with your hooves. Hooves Your hooves are natural melee weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. Equine Build You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push or drag. In addition, any climb that requires hands and feet is especially difficult for you because of your equine legs. When you make such a climb, each foot of movement costs you 4 extra feet, instead of the normal 1 extra foot. Survivor You have proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Medicine, Nature, or Survival. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan. Sylvan is widely spoken in the Selesnya Conclave, for it is rich in vocabulary to describe natural phenomena and spiritual forces. Loxodon M 30 Con 2, Wis 1 Description Source: Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica p. 17 Age Loxodons physically mature at the same rate as humans, but they live about 450 years. They highly value the weight of wisdom and experience and are considered young until they reach the age of 60. Alignment Most loxodons are lawful, believing in the value of a peaceful, ordered life.

Powerful Build You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift. Loxodon Serenity You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened. Natural Armor You have thick, leathery skin. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 12 + your Constitution 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. Trunk You can grasp things with your trunk, and you can use it as a snorkel. It has a reach of 5 feet, and it can lift a number of pounds equal to five times your Strength score. You can use it to do the following simple tasks: lift, drop, hold, push, or pull an object or a creature; open or close a door or a container; grapple someone; or make an unarmed strike. Your DM might allow other simple tasks to be added to that list of options. Your trunk can't wield weapons or shields or do anything that requires manual precision, such as using tools or magic items or performing the somatic components of a spell. Keen Smell Thanks to your sensitive trunk, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception), Wisdom (Survival), and Intelligence (Investigation) checks that involve smell. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Loxodon. Minotaur M 30 Str 2, Con 1 Description These traits are also suitable for minotaurs in other D&D worlds where these people have avoided the demonic influence of Baphomet. Source: Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica p. 18 Age Minotaurs enter adulthood at around the age of 17 and can live up to 150 years.

If you hit with them, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. Goring Rush Immediately after you use the Dash action on your turn and move at least 20 feet, you can make one melee attack with your horns as a bonus action. Hammering Horns Immediately after you hit a creature with a melee attack as part of the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to attempt to shove that target with your horns. The target must be no more than one size larger than you and within 5 feet of you. Unless it succeeds on a Strength saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier, you push it up to 10 feet away from you. Imposing Presence You have proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Intimidation or Persuasion. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Minotaur. Simic Hybrid M 30 Con 2 Description Source: Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica p. 20 Age Hybrids begin their lives as adult humans, elves, or vedalken. They age at a slightly accelerated rate, so their maximum life spans are probably reduced somewhat. The Guardian Project has not been operating long enough to observe the full effect of this phenomenon. Alignment Most hybrids share the generally neutral outlook of the Simic Combine. They are more interested in scientific research and the standing of their guild than in moral or ethical questions. Those who leave the Combine, however, often do so because their philosophical outlook and alignment are more in line with a different guild's. Size Your size is Medium, within the normal range of your humanoid base race. Darkvision You can see in dim light within 60 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.

You choose one animal enhancement now and a second enhancement at 5th level.

When you fall and aren't incapacitated, you can subtract up to 100 feet from the fall when calculating falling damage, and you can move up to 2 feet horizontally for every 1 foot you descend. • Nimble Climber: You have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed. • Underwater Adaptation: You can breathe air and water, and you have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed. At 5th level, your body evolves further, developing new characteristics. Choose one of the options you didn't take at 1st level, or one of the following options: • Grappling Appendage: You have two special appendages growing alongside your arms. Choose whether they're both claws or tentacles. As an action, you can use one of them to try to grapple a creature. Each one is also a natural weapon, which you can use to make an unarmed strike. If you hit with it, the target takes bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. Immediately after hitting, you can try to grapple the target as a bonus action. These appendages can't precisely manipulate anything and can't wield weapons, magic items, or other specialized equipment. • Carapace: Your skin in places is covered by a thick shell. You gain a +1 bonus to AC when you're not wearing heavy armor. • Acid Spit: As an action, you can spray acid from glands in your mouth, targeting one creature or object you can see within 30 feet of you. The target takes 2d10 acid damage unless it succeeds on a Dexterity saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 11th level (3d10) and 17th level (4d10). You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Consitution modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Partially Amphibious By absorbing oxygen through your skin, you can breathe underwater for up to 1 hour. Once you've reached that limit, you can't use this trait again until you finish a long rest. Languages You can speak, read, and write Common, Vedalken, and one other language of your choice. Centaur (Theros) M 40 Str 2, Wis 1 Description Source: Mythic Odysseys of Theros p. 18 Age Centaurs mature and age at about the same rate as humans. Alignment Centaurs are inclined toward neutrality.
