Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica

CONCLAVE DRYAD

The lush forests that once grew on Ravnica are gone,

but the dryads remain, striving to bring the sprawling

city and the verdant green of nature into harmony.

Dryads believe that their efforts are the will of Mat'Sele-

snya, the soul of the world, and they spread their teach-

ings through every Selesnya enclave.

Thanks to their attunement to Mat'Selesnya, dryads

serve as visionaries and spiritual intermediaries for the

Selesnya Conclave. They hold positions of great respect

as spiritual leaders, and also share their vision of har-

monious construction as architects, working with stone-

masons and woodshapers to create Selesnya enclaves.

Summoned Mount. When leading its guild into battle,

a dryad rides a magically summoned creature woven of

living branches, vines, and grasses and imbued w ith a

fey spirit.

Multiattack. The dryad makes three attacks, using its vine

staff, its longbow, or both.

Vine Staff. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft ., one

target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a

creature, it must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving th row or

become restrained by twisting vines for l minute. A target re-

strained in this way can use an action to make a DC 17 Strength

(Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check, ending the effect on

itself on a success.

Longbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 150/600 ft.,

one target. Hit: 8 (ld8 + 4) piercing damage.

Summon Mount (1/Day). The d ryad magically summons a

mount, which appears in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of

the dryad. The mount remains for 8 hours, until it or the dryad

dies, or until the d ryad dismisses it as an action. The mount

uses the stat block of an elk (see the Monster Manual) with

these changes: it is a plant instead of a beast, it has an Intel-

ligence of 6, and it understands Sylvan but can't speak. While

within 1 mile of the mount, the dryad can communicate with it

telepathically.

Suppress Magic (Recharge 5-6). The dryad targets o ne magic

item it can see within 120 feet of it. If the magic item isn 't an

artifact, its magical properties are suppressed for 10 minutes,

until the dryad is incapacitated or dies, or until the dryad uses

a bonus action to end the effect.
