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

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) from either their Background's Vocational ASI OR as their Archetype's/Class Pathway ASI. These will be specified as either explicit or chosen from a Attribute Group(s):
   PATHWAY = In either Intellect or Emotion

   Accomplished Attribute Disposition = 13 in: Reason and Charisma; Additionally, they gain:

   • +1 Sanity
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. Starting Skills @Character Inception: & +1 level in a Lore of choice if the character has an Accomplished Attribute Disposition.
   
   i20 REPLACES d20 skill proficiency > Check = skill level + modifiers (Prof. Bonus not used).

   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). > i20 Skill Map

Currently Supported Subclasses: (Others are at GM discretion/approval.)

• Song of Rest & Soothing: This increases the Healing Rate of those who can hear it by 1 or offset negative care aspects by 2. At 5th level, if they spend 1 Mana (if they have a Mana Reservoir), they can affect a # or targets equal to their Proficiency Bonus, and increase the healing rate by the same amount.

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.
