Archetypes
Building on the Mages of Strixhaven Unearthed Arcana, this book refines the concept of cross-class subclasses into archetypes. With two sets of archetypes for each college (ten in total), spellcasters and martial characters will have plenty of options to play with and explore.
Sample NPCs
Strixhaven: First Class also includes ten sample NPCs, each one showcasing a different archetype and helping players and DMs visualize what a character using that archetype might look like. As with Curriculum of Chaos, these NPCs have Extracurriculars, Jobs, Bond Boons and Bond Banes, making it easy to integrate them into your Strixhaven campaign. In addition, they feature character art that reimagines each college's theme in a contemporary, anime-inspired style.
Maneuvers
Why should spellcasters get all the fun? With seven new maneuvers for each college (thirty-five in total), Strixhaven: First Class gives martial characters their own unique form of magic, expanding their options in combat.
