Aura of Fortune
Posted on March 24, 2025 in D20 iCore Trait
[ Feature Impact ] > Positive
Req/Limit: Must be taken at Character Inception
The character is favored by Fortuna, Lady Luck, etc. Whenever there is a roll/check to see if a random outcome is positive for the PC, it is made with Advantage, OR a single “+” or “-” 1 (or unit of value used) on a check. This includes activities that the PC is leading for their group as well – i.e. scouting and the like. It includes things such as a check to see if the PC avoids getting lost, bypasses an encounter, etc. The point is to reduce the danger to the character’s progress as they go through locales and make decisions.
Note that this can have a negative impact in that certain encounters would be avoided which may be dangerous but provide access to knowledge, items, or experience. It cannot be ‘turned off’ in any way, it is reflective of how their Essence is placed in The Pattern.

Observant
Posted on January 9, 2025 in D20 iCore Trait
Observant is a trait that makes the character more prone to noticing subtle details and making deductions from them. It improves both Investigation activity and raw Perception uses. Generally speaking, an observant character can also process a scene as if they had taken greater care and time in a normal time frame.
i20™ Observant Details
The character gains a across-the-board +1 to all Investigation and Perception activities for each Measure of the trait. Unless a race or class grants it, characters can naturally only take a single Measure.
