seems like a contradiction and "open plain" is sheer
nonsense, centaurs nevertheless retain a love of
wide spaces and the freedom to travel. As much as
they can, centaurs run-in wide plazas, spacious
parks, and expanses of rubble and ruin. They race
the wind, hooves thundering and tails streaming
behind them, until the next wall looms in their path
and brings them to a stop.
NATURE'S CAVALRY
Centaurs have the upper bodies, down to the waist,
of muscular humans, displaying all the human
variety of skin tones and features. Their ears are
slightly pointed, but their faces are wider and
squarer than those of elves. Below the waist, they
have the bodies of small horses, with a similar
range of coloration- from various s hades of chest-
nut or bay to dappled or even zebra-like striped
patterns. Most centaurs style their hair and their
tails in a similar way. Selesnya centaurs favor long,
flowing hair. Gruul centaurs cut their hair in rough.

The upper bodies of centaurs are comparable to
human torsos in s ize, and their lower equine bodies
average about 4 feet tall al the withers . Though they
are smaller than a human rider mounted on a horse,
they fill similar roles as cavalry warriors. messen-

Size. Centaurs stand between 6 and 7 feet tall, with
their equine bodies reaching about 4 feet at the withers.
Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 40 feet.
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 ld4 +
your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning dam-
age normal for an unarmed strike.
Equine Build. You count as one size larger when de-
termining 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 you r 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, Na-
ture, 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.
GOBLIN
Whether sniveling in fear, cackling with mad laughter,
or snarling in a fury, goblins are wretched and inconse-
quential- at least in the eyes of most of Ravnica's other
folk. ln their own minds, though, they are content to lurk
