A Summary of New Character Options in Ravnica

To a large extent, the main appeal of Ravnica is the setting itself. Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica will come with lore about the world and new monsters, but as the altoholic that I am (see the title of the blog) I am of course always excited at the prospect of new character options.

I don't believe anything has been official confirmed, but if we assume that everything from the related Unearthed Arcana posts will make it in, perhaps with some edits and revisions, here's what we have:

EDIT: Wizards of the Coast has published the Table of Contents for the book, which cuts out some of the options. Viashino appear to be on the chopping block, along with the Brute Fighter archetype and the Wizard School of Invention. These of course are still up in Unearthed Arcana for players to use with a DM's consent, but sadly they do not appear to be making it into the game proper. If you want to stick to officially published stuff, you could swap in Lizardfolk from Volo's Guide to Monsters, and perhaps Champion Fighters and Evocation Wizards as similar substitutions.

New Races:

Minotaur

Centaur

Loxodon

Vedalken

Simic Hybrid

Viashino

New Subclasses:

Cleric Order Domain

Fighter Brute Archetype

Druid Circle of Spores

Wizard School of Invention

New Background/Guilds:

Simic Combine - Simic Scientist

Izzet League - Izzet Engineer

Golgari Swarm - Golgari Agent

Cult of Rakdos - Rakdos Cultist

Azorius Senate - Azorius Functionary

Boros Legion - Boros Legionnaire

EDIT: I also appears that will be certain spells associated with various guilds.

There is also a 66-page bestiary of various monster stat blocks, a great deal of which is dedicated to NPCs linked with each guild.
