Locations

As characters explore the lands of Amonkhet, you can use the information in this section to inspire your own adventures and world details.

When you create a character for Dungeons & Dragons, you choose a class from the options presented in the Player's Handbook. Characters of any class can be found on Amonkhet, though some are rarer than others. This chapter provides guidelines on playing certain classes in Amonkhet, and presents ## subclass options. The Artificer class is from Unearthed Arcana — The Artificer.

	Artificers are rare on Amonkhet. Alchemists and Armorers can often find work as artisans in the city Naktamun.
	Barbarians are common among Amonkhet's warriors. Those of the Path of the Zealot channel the power of the gods in their rage.
	Bards can be found as performers in Naktamun, and often act as viziers and healers.
	Clerics are the viziers and devotees of Amonkhet's gods, new and old. Instead of the subclasses found in the Player's Handbook, choose one of the subclasses presented later in this chapter: The Ambition, Dawn, Knowledge, River, Solidarity, Strength, or Zeal Domain.
	Druids channel primal nature magic, and might have a connection to the Luxa river or an oasis.
	Fighters fill all the usual roles on Amonkhet, as soldiers, crop captains, and guards of the city Naktamun.

	Monks are common on Amonkhet as trained unarmed warriors, especially among minotaurs.
	Paladins are warriors who swear an Oath to protect Amonkhet and its people, often before a vizier and the gods.
	Rangers are rare on Amonkhet, often channeling the power of the oasis or the Luxa river. They might be servants of Sab-Sunen, goddess of the Luxa.
	Rogues are common in the streets of Naktamun, engaging in smuggling, thievery, black market trading, and other unsavory lines of work.
	Sorcerers of Celestial and Draconic Sorcery are common on Amonkhet, connected to the gods and glory dragons. Sorcerers of Aberrant or Clockwork Sorcery are incredibly rare, drawing power from other planes.
	Warlocks with an Archfey Patron might have a pact with Sab-Sunen, goddess of the Luxa. A Celestial or Fey Patron could be any of Amonkhet's gods. A Fiend Patron might be one of the archfiends of ifnir, while a Great Old One Patron might be an old, forgotten god of the Chitin Court.
	Wizards are common among the followers of Kefnet, god of knowledge, an can be found throughout Amonkhet as advisors and scribes. The Necromancer subclass is presented later in this chapter.

Ambition Domain

Strive for Greatness

The crocodile-headed Bontu was the god of ambition, slain during the Hour of Devastation. She taught that no one is born strong — they become it. She considered pride and cunning to be tools for self-growth. Nothing is more important than determination and drive—not the bonds of a crop, not friendship or love. Not even devotion to a deity.

When you manifest the Emanation and as a Bonus Action on your later turns while it lasts, you can choose another creature you can see in the Emanation. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or take Cold damage equal to 1d6 plus your Wisdom modifier. If the creature is Large or smaller, choose the Ebb or Flow effect below on a failed save.

When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore Hit Points to a creature with a spell or Channel Divinity, don't roll those dice for the healing; instead use the highest number possible for each die.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

Necromancer

Manipulate Life, Death, and All in Between

Your studies focus on manipulating the energy of Amonkhet's Wandering Curse. Necromancers are seen as menacing or villains on other planes, but here you are lauded as an embalmer and preserver of the honored dead.

Determining your character's origin involves choosing a background, a species, and two languages. When making those choices for a character from Amonkhet, you choose from the options presented in this chapter instead of those in the Player's Handbook.

This section offers a collection of feats, which are special features not tied to a character class. If you're instructed to choose a feat, you can choose from the options presented in this section.

The worlds of Magic: the Gathering are part of an immense multiverse, a collection of planes each with their own unique histories and people. Almost every plane has a unique theme to explore, from the mythic odysseys of greek-inspired Theros, to the cyberpunk adventures of Japan-inspired Kamigawa. Some adventures only take place on a single plane, while other campaigns branch into the wider multiverse.

Ammit

Devourers of the Unworthy

Ammits are crocodilian demons that embody judgement. They are often found lurking on the banks of the Luxa far from Naktamun. In times past, they were used as challenges in the trials of the five gods. Ammits will ruthlessly hunt prey that enters their territory, but will cease fighting if their prey proves worthy. Roll on or choose a result from the Ammit Judgement table to inspire why an ammit might deem its prey worthy.

Amonkhet Dragons

Dragons of Glory and Destruction

Amonkhet's dragons are fierce monsters with crocodilian heads, leathery wings, and the ability to breathe fire. Unlike the intelligent dragons of other worlds, Amonkhet's dragons are savage, dim-witted beasts. They live mostly in the remote reaches of the desert, soaring in lazy circles through the sky as they search for prey. In times past, they were hunted and put to use within the trials of the five gods—especially in the climactic battles of the final Trial of Zeal.

Sphinxes

Living Enigmas and Collectors of Secrets

Sphinxes are keepers of secrets and mysteries. Formed from the spirits of Amonkhet's ancient viziers, sphinxes know the power of truth and the importance of preserving it. They share their wisdom only with those who prove themselves wise or overcome tests of worthiness. Amonkhet's sphinxes have leonine bodies, hawklike wings, and faces resembling humans, framed by great frills or manes of feathers. Their powerful forearms are also feathered, and fans of long feathers form their tails.

The impenetrable minds of the sphinxes proved to be beyond Nicol Bolas's ability to control—but even so, he was able to place them under a curse to guarantee their silence. A sphinx is utterly incapable of communication—verbal or nonverbal, even written—as long as the curse remains in effect.

Criosphinx

A rare few sphinxes have the heads of rams instead of the humanlike faces of other sphinxes. They are less enigmatic that others of their kind and more aggressive, actively attacking angels, demons, and other agents of Bolas they encounter in the desert. They stay far from Naktamun and care little for its people.

Sphinx Lairs

Sphinxes typically dwell in places that hold great knowledge or prophetic magic, especially ancient ruins of the time before Nicol Bolas.

The region containing a sphinx of amonkhet's or criosphinx's lair is altered by its presence, creating the following effects; if the sphinx dies or moves its lair elsewhere, these effects end immediately:

• Distant Sight. While in its lair, the sphinx can cast Clairvoyance, requiring no spell components and using the same spellcasting ability as its Spellcasting action. When cast this way, the spell's range is 1 mile.
• Infusion of Knowledge. Whenever the sphinx or one of its allies takes a Study action while within 1 mile of the lair, it adds 1d6 to any ability check it makes for that action.

Sunmare

Majestic and Magical Desert Master

Sunmares are majestic defenders of Amonkhet's desert. They are revered by many viziers and travelers, and they do whatever they can to ensure the peace and health of those who shelter in their sandy realms. Though firecely independent, sunamres may serve certain noble individuals as allies and mounts.

Zombies

Accursed Reanimated Wanderers

The Curse of Wandering is the greatest danger of the desert lands. A creature killed in the desert rises again as a zombie as soon as the moisture has dried from its flesh. As a result, the corpses of every kind of desert creature shamble across the dunes alongside the humanoid zombies of dissenters and would-be explorers. These zombies, known as the Accursed, are unthinking, reanimated corpses, often gruesomely marred by decay and lethal traumas. Zombies are relentless, merciless, and resilient, and their dead flesh can carry on even after suffering grievous wounds.
