Kinetic Engagement: Having Kinetic Aptitude and/or kinetic capability – Powers, Skills/Traits, and/or Features using kinetic [Chi] energy. It is fundamentally the power of equilibrium in space and time to alter The Pattern. A character who takes on Kinetic Engagement as a path of perspective and development (to seek/petition for, acquire, and build up powers) is referred to as an Adaptate. The act of manifesting specific Kinetic Power/Capability using Chi (see hereafter) is referred to as Demonstrating. A permanent change in the score of this (or any) Aptitude triggers an Actuated Awareness.

[Base] d20 Barbarian Class Variant
Posted on October 12, 2015 in D20
These materials represent the Incarna i20™ approach based on ©D20 system & d20 use.
Barbarian is a cultural moniker. IT DOES NOT SIMPLY MEAN IGNORANT BRUTE. It is a way of life living close to and with the environment, tapping consciously or unconsciously into anima sources to empower warrior of great vitality and spirit.
Character Changes
Read the Incarna d20 Variant rule summary.
- Starting Equipment and Money = By campaign setting – DO NOT USE THE ©PLAYERS HANDBOOK.
- Story Emphasis: It is strongly suggested that all characters have some story for the important elements of their characters.
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.
Primary Aptitude(s): Kinetic (Path of the Berserker).
Magic/Spell Changes
[d20-summary-magic-changes]Class Changes
- All barbarians mental threshold to the spirit realms is lower, in order to channel their powers. Starting Sanity is 10.

- Xanathar’s Guide: Ancestral Guardian path
[Base] d20 Ranger Class Variant
Posted on October 12, 2015
These materials represent the Incarna i20™ approach based on ©D20 system & d20 use.
This class employs the Incarna Ranger class pathway and all its features. The specific for these features will be laid out herein.
Universal for all classes: Starting Equipment and Money = By campaign setting
Rite of the Land: This is used to signify the acquisition of a Druid’s (iD20 variant)powers of the Circle of the Land.
Druidic Druid-Sign is the equivalent of Sylvanic sign.
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.
Magic/Spell Changes
[d20-summary-magic-changes]Changes to the PHB Ranger Class
Incarna iDnD prefers the UA Revised Ranger, NOT WOTC Ranger Options. We have adopted this well knowing that discussions seem to indicate there is no future for the UA version (as noted at reddit and tribality).
- The Favored Enemy feature is replaced with the Incarna Enmity feature.
- The Rangers Bond/Oath – What makes the Ranger, a Ranger. Primarily, this accounts for the mystical powers of the Ranger, without necessarily having to have a specific Divine Principle to answer to.
- Basic Oath/Bond: The Ranger has a simple bond of One with the Land. They sacrifice 1 Essence at 1st level for the deep ties to the world around them through Shared Litany (good standing with their faith’s tenets). They lose 1 additional Essence at 3rd level when they choose their path and abiding bond with their animal spirit.
- High Oath/Bond: One with the Land. Rangers taking this path must choose the Hunter archetype at 3rd level. A Ranger does NOT need the Psychic Aptitude requirement for this oath. The Aptitude costs cover all the benefits – Rangers continue to get additional Favored Enemy (now Chosen Prey) and favored Terrain at levels without additional costs.
Story Hook ++
This presents a good opportunity for adding Character Story elements to the Character.
- Tasha’s Cauldron: Favored Foe/Foe Slayer is replaced by the Incarna Enmity (a new Chosen Prey is gained at 6th and 14th level) feature, Fighting Style Options, Spell Casting Focus, Martial Versatility (Optional Features)
- Normal [Incarna] Rangers do not have Spell Casting capability. Instead, at 2nd level they gain Second Wind and at 4th they gain Action Surge; both of these operate exactly as the Fighter class abilities, but at Ranger level, not Fighter.
