Magus Path Mechanics
i20™ Path Details
i20 assumes you are familiar with the 2014 DnD 5.0 SRD and the PHB it is based off of.
Starting i20 Characters have Zero Discretionary CP unless noted by the Game Master. These are all taken acquiring a Race/Species and a Pathway of Experience. A starting character is the moment of character creation (@Character Inception).
Multi-Classing: Required to meet the Accomplished Attribute Dispositions in all classes (replaces SRD req.). Does not gain the benefits marked as "@Character Inception".
This corresponds to the WIZARD (Class)
The following aspects deviate from or add to the base class, 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. *
Making a Magus Character @1st Level
Are you using Best Practice guidelines? (ask your Game Master)
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
| Default Aptitude | Minimum Aptitude | Optimal Aptitude |
|---|---|---|
| Kinetic 3, Occult 1 | Kinetic 1, Occult 1 Baseline if Aptitude is not emphasized. |
Kinetic 3, Occult 1 = Begin play with Chi Reservoir (If they are using the aptitude) |
- Essence is by race/species @Character Inception (baseline = 7 for most).
- 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), limited in application by Attribute Group(s) or explicitly as defined either by their Background's Vocational ASI OR as a Pathway ASI:
PATHWAY = Any except EmotionAccomplished Attribute Disposition = 13 in: Reason and Sanity; Additionally, they gain:
- +1 Sanity
- 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. - Starting Skills @Character Inception: & +1 level in a Lore of choice if the character has an Accomplished Attribute Disposition.
i20 Skills REPLACE d20 skill proficiency ( Proficiency Bonus) - Character Points are Rewarded by the GM to buy traits and Skills (adding to the Result Check).
Further Developing a Magus Character
Currently Supported Subclasses: (Others are at GM discretion/approval.)
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.

The Magus in Your Game
Cultural/Literary/Historical Examples:
Primary Setting Types: Fantasy
An Archetype character can come from any experience, background, culture/social norms, gender, race, or regional issue unless prohibited by Settings or Game Master.
This Character Pathway is commonly found in associated Settings as a Class/Path option. A Setting may implement this with changes that align with the setting's flavor and properties - including the title by which it is known. GMs and Players may customize as needed. Knowledge of this Pathway as it appears in a Setting is covered under the Lore of the setting's World History and/or more specific Lores, if applicable.
Story Emphasis: It is strongly suggested that all Players have a full set of Stories for the important elements of their characters; These can explain any feature that deviates from normal rule/play limits. GMs often reward this.
Bard Path ( Laureate, Scholar, etc.)
