i20™ Race/Species Details
i20 assumes you are familiar with the 2014 DnD 5.0 SRD and the PHB it is based off of.

This corresponds to the EX: HALFLING ( Race/Species; uses base 5e Races)
The following aspects deviate from or add to the base race, though may also vary by Setting, back story, and/or cultural experience; ‘Baseline’ values are just average/defaults to be used * without specific reference checks. *
Common Cultural Experience
The character comes from an area which has a dominant culture of the race/species and evinces it’s common physiologically and sociologically developed features. As they develop, the cultural norms are ingrained and stay with them in absence of consciously ridding themselves of them (and their benefits).
> This inherits from: None.
This race uses all the standard essential Attributes. Characters inherit the primary Developed Attribute Profile by default (optional). Adjustments are noted as specific Attributes or Attribute Group(s).
- Adjustments: -1 Charisma, +1 Reactions, +1 Perception, -1 Strength
- Minimums: Reactions 10, Perception 12
- Maximums: Strength 18, Reactions 22
Class Options: Barbarian (wolf and eagle/hawk only), Bard (“Rhapsodist”), Cleric (Nature, War, Trickery, Life), Druid, Fighter, Ranger, Rogue, Wizard
Open Cultural Experience
Wherever the character grew up, they eschewed the common cultural experience in favor of a more individualistic approach to life. While they are aware of the cultural norms, they chose not to be confined by them and not to benefit from them, and any unconscious behavior that reflects them gradually fades over time. Unless noted, all Archetype options are available.
Shared Physiological Details
The following elements reference game details that are physically part of every character of this race/species:
