Is your Game Master allowing a Committed Pathway?

Select your character's Race/Species and Background (and/or choose from a some other Character Experience) from those available in your Setting (ask your Game Master); Note that these may set or adjust all other aspects of Character Creation.

Pathway Character Creation Parameters

1. Essence is by race/species @Character Inception (baseline = 7 for most).
2. The standard 8 Character Attributes, generate them using the preferred method allowed by your Game Master.

   @Character Inception, Characters gain an Attribute Score Increase (ASI), as defined by their Background's Vocational ASI OR as a Archetype's Pathway ASI explicity assigned or by Attribute Group(s):
   PATHWAY = In either Power or Body groups

   Accomplished Attribute Disposition = 13 in: Strength and Constitution; Additionally, they gain:

   • +1 Perception
3. Health (Hit) Points: (HP) Average HP only at 1st; Health is Recovered at a standard rate ("Hit Dice" are not used).
   Wounds can temporarily reduce the character's normal maximum.

   Rested Healing: Applying healing immediately after a Rest and before any other activity is taken normally assures a major result (full amount).

4. Skills are something you can do in ALL situations, activities are what you run them through to get outcomes.

The GM can { } Narrate it, and players may request an appropriate impact when anything other than a basic outcome is indicated. Character Points are Rewarded by the GM to improve Skills (and other Features).

5. Accomplished Activity: Intimidation (when using Unarmored Defense)
6. Combat Activity for Defense: Light Armor Familiarity, Medium Armor Familiarity, Simple Shield Familiarity, and Brace Familiarity.
7. Combat Activity for Offense: Simple Melee Weapon Familiarity, Simple Ranged Weapon Familiarity, Martial Melee Weapon Familiarity, and Martial Ranged Weapon Familiarity.

9. Intimidating Appearance: +2 as an Accomplished Activity when using Unarmored Defense | +4 when Raging | Menacing Bearing if Berserker subclass > When attempting to Intimidate
10. Equipment: Each iVerse Setting has a Cost Portion which a character starts with to buy goods with; Also see the "Characters" document for the setting. In addition to general purchasable gear, PC characters are assumed to come from "Middling" circumstances and begin play with equipment (portable Toolkits and/or stationary Work Stations) related to their capabilities granted by Race/Background/Archetype/Cultural experiences.
11. Remaining CP to spend on Features:
    Accomplished Attribute Disposition: Exceeds = +2 @Character Inception
    > Usually taken as a level or two in a Lore (ex: regional history) of choice.

  i20 Skills REPLACE d20 skill proficiency: Add the skill level + modifiers to the check ( Proficiency Bonus not used).

  A single Result Check to assess Success or Failure AND quality which may be impacted by conditions which indicate a Lack of Capability (Unfamiliar, Unproficient, etc.). The GM can { } Narrate it, and players may request an appropriate impact when anything other than a basic outcome is indicated. Character Points are Rewarded by the GM to improve Skills (and other Features).

• The Spirit Seeker (Totemic Warrior @3rd) allows the character to channel their wyld bond as though they were an Expert Ritualist (not a true practicing Ritualist – their “totem object” is required) only for the spells noted, which are essentially Estranged Formulae.
• The Totem Spirit (Totemic Warrior @3rd) – the following is NOT optional: “…you also gain minor physical attributes that are reminiscent of your totem spirit.”
• The Instinctive Pounce (Optional @7th) is used.
• => The following Replaces “Brutal Critical”
  Savage Attacker: @9th Savage Attacks 1 Measure at 9th, 13th, & 17th levels.
• The Intimidating Presence (Berserker @10th) adds in the noted Intimidating Appearance modifiers.
• The Spirit Walker (Totemic Warrior @10th) – same mechanics as Spirit Seeker.
• => The following Replaces “Relentless Rage”
  Relentless Rage: @11th Relentless Aggression that requires the condition of Rage and a DC 10 Vigor (Constitution) check; If the character has multiple measures, after the first use the DC increases by 5 and resets after any full rest cycle.
• The Primal Champion (@20th) only grants a +1 Attribute increase while Raging, and an additional +1 if using Unarmored Defense.

LEVEL-UP: The GM rewards a character a level based on Merit. By default, i20™ assumes by campaign milestone and limited by Experiences using Improvement Limits. Multiclassing follows i20 multi-class parameters in addition to the base requirements. Sanity increases by 1 every 4 character levels.
