Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica

Chapter 6: Friends and Foes

AVNICA IS HOME TO A GREAT VARIETY OF
creatures, including some that are unknown
on other worlds in DUNGEONS & DRAGONS.
This chapter provides stat blocks for many
of these creatures, and it concludes with a collection
of nonplayer characters who fill the ranks of Ravni-
ca's guilds.
Some of the stat blocks in this book have a special
feature: guild spells. If a stat block says its creature is a
spellcaster of a particular guild- an Izzet spellcaster, for
instance- that creature's spell list includes one or more
spells from that guild's s pell list. See chapter 2 for the
guilds' lists.

Creatures by Guild

This section is a list of creatures in this chapter and in
the Monster Manual that are associated with each guild.
Each guild's entry includes a brief discussion of the
mons ters from the Monster Manual that could be found
among the guild's members, a nd it includes a table
s howing monsters sorted by challenge rating.
Most of these monsters are in this book (GGR) or the
Monster Manual (MM), but some of the monsters from
Volos Guide to Monsters (VGM) and Mordenkainens
Tome of Foes (MTF) are also mentioned.

AZORIUS CREATURES

Most creatures associated with the Azorius Senate are

humanoids (largely humans and vedalken) and various

others that serve as familiars. pets, and mounts. Owls

are popular familiars, since they are viewed as symbols

of wisdom and sound judgment. Sphinxes and archons

are the rare non humanoids that play a significant role in

the leadership and operation of the guild.

Azorius lawmages craft one-eyed homunculi to per-

form menial tasks in Azorius buildings. These homun-

culi use the statistics of a regular homunculus except

that they are wingless and have no flying speed.

S PHINXESOFjUDGMENT

Azorius sphinxes, known as sphinxes of judgment, wield

hieromancy- the power of law magic- with the force of

a judge's gavel to imprison criminals and compel truth

from them. A sphinx of judgment is a gynosphinx, as

described in the Monster Manual, but it is an Azorius

spellcaster with the following wizard spells prepared:

Cantrips (at will): friends, mage hand, message

1 st level (4 s lots): command, ensnaring strike, shield

2nd level (3 s lots): calm emotions, hold person,

suggestion

3rd level (3 slots): clairvoyance, counterspe/1,

dispel magic

4th level (3 slots): banishment, divination

5th level (1 slot): dominate person

BOROS CREATURES

The Boros Legion employs many different creatures to

swell the ranks of its soldiery. These creatures might

serve as companions, guardians, or mounts.

FLAME-KIN

Flame-kin (which use t he azer stat block in t he Monster

Manual) are elemental soldiers magically created and

animated to serve the legion as scouts and shock troops.

Fanatical and inflexible, they are relics of a time when

the guild was more concerned with zealotry than jus-

tice. They take the field for large military engagements.
