S TUDENTS OF S TRIXHAVEN In Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos, we are introduced to a number of potential peers, friends, rivals, and lovers that can accompany the player characters throughout the campaign. Introduced in Chapter 3, these individuals are given two or three paragraphs of description, alongside some pseudo mechanical benefits or drawbacks depending on how you interact with them. Within this publication, each of these students are given multiple statblocks to represent their growth throughout the four years of the Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos campaign. Each of them can grant their friends a unique bonus in addition to those benefits seen in the campaign book. By providing statblocks for each student as they progress through the campaign, Dungeon Masters now have an easy go-to reference, detailing all of the student’s traits and features at a glance. It also provides smaller parties with easy-to-use sidekicks, and opens the floor for combat featuring these NPCs if tensions rise or dangers to Strixhaven spill over into the student body at-large. Version 1.1 Update With eighteen students and five colleges of Strixhaven, there are less potential friendships and rivalries with the Prismari and Witherbloom Colleges. In order to address this imbalance, two new students have been added: Ehsan (Witherbloom) and Iya Ruan (Prismari). You will find information equivalent to that given in Chapter 3 of Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos in addition to their statblocks in the relevant section of this publication.

Chaotic Good Leonin First Year (Witherbloom) Ehsan’s magical gifts bloomed late, meaning she is a good twenty or so years older than her peers. Those additional decades did not go to waste, however, as Ehsan is an excellent archer, forger, and all-around naturalist. As punctual and attentive in classes as she is, Ehsan appreciates her privacy from fellow students and faculty alike. With her worldly experience and keen senses, Ehsan has found a few places around campus where she can get away, whether it’s from the incessant rumour mill (students love gossip) or just to study alone. When not in seclusion, Ehsan can be found tending to the many grass fields on campus, or keeping herself in shape at the Stadium. She appreciates the friendly competition with her Iron-Lifters Society peers.

Iya is a forthright soul, never one to mince her words when the unvarnished truth gets straight to the point. This would be an intolerable trait in anyone other than Iya, who seldom has a dark thought about anyone who hasn’t purposefully tried to cause her trouble. She is fascinated by the many fashions borne by the students and faculty of Strixhaven, with many a passerby being questioned about the origin of their clothing or complimented on their sense of style. Iya was gently caroused to joining the Intramural Water-Dancing Club, which she took to like a merfolk to water. Working as a book shelver may not seem as natural a fit for Iya, but reading through the Biblioplex’s titles provides her muse with many sources of inspiration.

As Zanther holds his hands with thumbs touching and fingers spread, a thin sheet of flames shoots forth from his outstretched fingertips. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 10 (3d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried. Spellcasting. Zanther casts one of the following spells, using Charisma as the spellcasting ability (spell save DC 13): At will: minor illusion, produce flame 2/day each: gust of wind, silent image 1/day each: mage armor, water walk

Bonus Actions Surge of Artistry (Recharge 4-6). Zanther moves up to his speed, surrounding himself with elemental magic as he moves. Until the end of his turn, Zanther can move through the space of other creatures. The first time Zanther enters a creature’s space on a turn, that creature must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone. If Zanther ends his turn in another creature’s space, Zanther takes 5 (1d10) force damage and is pushed into the nearest unoccupied space.

Reactions Bond Boon: You Can Do It! (3/Day). When a creature Zanther can see within 30 feet of him and with whom he shares a bond boon misses with an attack, Zanther can use his reaction to allow the creature to roll a d10 and add it to the attack roll.
