=Creature Origins and Types=
 +
Creatures are classified into groups based on their ''origin'' - where or how they came into existence - and their ''type'', which is more descriptive of what they are. Many creatures also have a ''subtype'', which further defines them.
  
−
=Akashic=
+
==Origins==
−
[[Image:Akashic_new.jpg|thumb|325px|right|Akira, iconic akashic]]
+
The following are the possible ''origins''.
−
: ''"A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever."''
+
  
−
In a world where individuals of capable of wholesale destruction of timelines, where individuals can wrest themselves from the march of time and act against the grain of causality, the study of history and memory itself becomes significantly more daunting, but also more important. However, an understanding of causality leads not just to an understanding of how we got to where we are today, but to an understanding of the underpinnings of reality itself. Those who take up the mantle of the akashic are those who have gleaned insights into the mechanisms of reality: not from the view of those who live inside the universe, but from ''outside'' it. This almost alien approach to how the world functions is obtuse and abstract in nature, and few in the world are capable of maintaining that mindset for long.
+
; Aberrant : Unnatural creatures, aberrants are those things that should not be. Whether they be from some far-flung part of the material plane, or from some utterly alien realm of existence, these creatures are bizarre in appearance and behavior, and are clearly not native to the worlds of Trinity.
 +
; Elemental : Their essence composed primarily of one "element," elementals vary from living incarnations of the concept of fire itself to those races native to Trinity that are naturally suffused with the energies of a Force.
 +
; Immortal : Denizens of planes other than the prime material, immortals are beings that embody concepts like "good" or "law." They are closer to the denizens of the worlds of Trinity in that these entities come from recognized nearby outer planes. Immortals do not age and cannot die of natural causes.
 +
; Natural : Creatures born into the worlds of Trinity that have no unusual qualities about them are considered natural, and are part of the natural order of the world.
  
−
By learning how to study and manipulate information and data, akashics can undo the crimes committed against the timeline, ensuring that their memory - and the memory of everyone in existence - remains tied to events as they occurred. However, they can also reverse the process, manipulating the information that represents the world in order to manipulate existence, giving them unparalleled control over the present and a keen understanding of how the now will lead to a future moment.
+
==Types==
 +
The following are the creature ''types''.
  
−
It is with this knowledge that all of existence is simply information that akashics perform amazing feats. While they can create objects out of nothing and read the minds of other creatures, these are not direct interactions, nor are they impositions of will upon reality - they are simply modifications and manipulations of data. However, these actions require significant willpower and the ability to read the world memory, as every passing moment the data of the world changes: akashics must therefore be incredibly careful and quite observant in order to ensure that they do not accidentally destroy themselves or disrupt the world in a catastrophic manner.
+
; Animate :  Animates are objects given life or intelligence through an unusual process, be it magic raising the dead or technology creating sentient programs. Animate creatures do not need to breathe, eat, or sleep, regardless of their origin.
 +
; Beast : Beasts look and act like animals, although they sometimes have a bizarre or monstrous appearance. Beasts with other origins behave in the similar instinctive ways, though they are unfamiliar to ordinary people.
 +
; Humanoid : Humanoid monsters are usually bipedal, but some have monstrous or animalistic characteristics, such as the squid-like head of an illithid or the serpentine body of a yuan-ti abomination.
 +
; Monster : A monster typically looks like a beast but acts like a person. Monsters often superficially resemble animals, sometimes with a human face or head, but are more intelligent.
  
−
==Game Rule Information==
+
==Subtypes==
−
Akashics have the following game statistics.
+
The following are some of the many ''subtypes''.
  
−
'''[[The_Forces#Force_Alignment | Force Alignment]]:''' Blue.
+
; Animal : Animals are fairly normal non-intelligent creatures that behave in predictable ways.  
−
 
+
; Construct : Constructs are not living creatures; abilities and effects that specifically target living creatures do not work against them. Constructs do not need to breathe, eat, or sleep.
−
'''[[The_Forces#Force_Resistance | Force Resistances]]:''' CO 5 + level, IO 5 + level.
+
; Dragon : Dragons are reptilelike creatures. Most dragons have wings as well as some kind of breath weapon.
−
 
+
; Gigas : Giants are humanoids that are at least Large in size.
−
'''Abilities:''' Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma are all equally important to an akashic. She gains bonus active meme slots based on her Wisdom, bonus memory based on her Intelligence, and additional belief-space based upon her Charisma.
+
; Ooze : Oozes are amorphous creatures that rely on blindsight, tremorsense, or both to discern their surroundings. They don’t suffer penalties to attack rolls or penalties to their speed while squeezing, and can't be knocked ''prone''.
−
 
+
; Spoken : Spoken are humanoids that are considered part of the civilized world, and are called as such because of their use of language.
−
'''Hit Points at 1st Level:''' 5 + Con score.
+
; Plant : Plants are creatures composed of vegetable matter. They breathe and eat, but do not sleep. They are not immune to sleep effects, however.
−
 
+
; Undead : Undead are not living creatures; abilities and effects that specifically target living creatures do not work against them. Undead do not need to breathe or sleep.
−
'''Hit Points at Each Additional Level:''' 5 + Con modifier.
+
; Vermin : Vermin are mindless beasts, usually with simple anatomies and bizarre psychologies. Vermin are immune to mind-affecting abilities.
−
 
+
−
'''Healing Surges:''' 6 + Con modifier.
+
−
 
+
−
'''Starting Age:''' Moderate.
+
−
 
+

==Class Features==

All of the following are class features of the akashic.

Akashics are memeticists, and as such make use of ''memes'', conceptual packets of information that are essentially programs that interact with the data that comprises the world in some fashion.
+
−
 
+
−
To use ''memes'', an akashic must first ''ready'' it, an arduous process that must be performed on a regular basis, updating the ''meme'' to ensure that its various structures are synchronized with the world.

To access her memes, an akashic must ''ready'' them into her ''active meme'' slots. An akashic can only modify her ''active meme'' slots after a ''long rest'', in a process that takes ten minutes.

To use a given ''meme'', the akashic must meet the minimum Wisdom score for that grade, as per the table on the right.
+
−
 
+
−
When an akashic ''readies'' her ''memes'', she can also choose to put them into her personal ''memory'', using her own informational process to improve the ''meme'' in some fashion. You can change which ''memes'' you have ''allocated'' into ''memory'' with a ''short rest''.
+
−
 
+
−
When you ''process'' a ''meme'', it becomes temporarily scrambled after its interaction with the world, and you cannot use it again until it ''recharges''. At the beginning of each of your turns, if you have any ''memes'' that need to ''recharge'', you roll your ''recharge die'', which is 1d6. If the result of the ''recharge die'' is equal to or greater than the ''recharge value'' for a given ''meme'', that ''meme recharges'', and you can ''process'' it again. The ''recharge value'' of a meme is dependent upon the highest grade of ''meme'' you can access, per the table below.
+
−
 
+
−
All of your ''memes'' automatically ''recharge'' after a ''short rest''.
+
−
 
+
−
You gain additional ''active meme'' slots based on your Intelligence modifier; at each even level, you gain a bonus ''active meme'' slot, until you have a total number of bonus slots equal to your Intelligence modifier.

The akashic begins with four known ''memes''. She gains knowledge of additional ''memes'' each level, as per the class table, above. At fourth level and every four levels after, she can trade out up to two ''memes'' for new ''memes'' from any ''library'' she can access.
+
−
 
+
−
If you would gain access to a ''library'', you can choose to instead gain a bonus feat, which must be a feat for which you qualify. If you would gain access to a ''library'' and already have access to six ''libraries'', you gain a bonus feat instead.
+
−
 
+
−
The akashic's ''key ability'' for her ''memetic attacks'' is her Charisma.

This section describes creature types in t20. Note that this system is a departure from standard d20, and invokes some 4e elements.

Creature Origins and Types

Creatures are classified into groups based on their origin - where or how they came into existence - and their type, which is more descriptive of what they are. Many creatures also have a subtype, which further defines them.

Origins

The following are the possible origins.

Aberrant 
Unnatural creatures, aberrants are those things that should not be. Whether they be from some far-flung part of the material plane, or from some utterly alien realm of existence, these creatures are bizarre in appearance and behavior, and are clearly not native to the worlds of Trinity.
Elemental 
Their essence composed primarily of one "element," elementals vary from living incarnations of the concept of fire itself to those races native to Trinity that are naturally suffused with the energies of a Force.
Immortal 
Denizens of planes other than the prime material, immortals are beings that embody concepts like "good" or "law." They are closer to the denizens of the worlds of Trinity in that these entities come from recognized nearby outer planes. Immortals do not age and cannot die of natural causes.
Natural 
Creatures born into the worlds of Trinity that have no unusual qualities about them are considered natural, and are part of the natural order of the world.

Types

The following are the creature types.

Animate 
Animates are objects given life or intelligence through an unusual process, be it magic raising the dead or technology creating sentient programs. Animate creatures do not need to breathe, eat, or sleep, regardless of their origin.
Beast 
Beasts look and act like animals, although they sometimes have a bizarre or monstrous appearance. Beasts with other origins behave in the similar instinctive ways, though they are unfamiliar to ordinary people.
Humanoid 
Humanoid monsters are usually bipedal, but some have monstrous or animalistic characteristics, such as the squid-like head of an illithid or the serpentine body of a yuan-ti abomination.
Monster 
A monster typically looks like a beast but acts like a person. Monsters often superficially resemble animals, sometimes with a human face or head, but are more intelligent.

Subtypes

The following are some of the many subtypes.

Animal 
Animals are fairly normal non-intelligent creatures that behave in predictable ways.
Construct 
Constructs are not living creatures; abilities and effects that specifically target living creatures do not work against them. Constructs do not need to breathe, eat, or sleep.
Dragon 
Dragons are reptilelike creatures. Most dragons have wings as well as some kind of breath weapon.
Gigas 
Giants are humanoids that are at least Large in size.
Ooze 
Oozes are amorphous creatures that rely on blindsight, tremorsense, or both to discern their surroundings. They don’t suffer penalties to attack rolls or penalties to their speed while squeezing, and can't be knocked prone.
Spoken 
Spoken are humanoids that are considered part of the civilized world, and are called as such because of their use of language.
Plant 
Plants are creatures composed of vegetable matter. They breathe and eat, but do not sleep. They are not immune to sleep effects, however.
Undead 
Undead are not living creatures; abilities and effects that specifically target living creatures do not work against them. Undead do not need to breathe or sleep.
Vermin 
Vermin are mindless beasts, usually with simple anatomies and bizarre psychologies. Vermin are immune to mind-affecting abilities.
