I did move STR back to 16 Cybel and changed the name of the race to be accurate Pangea :)</p>

Nothing stands out as incorrect ^^.</p>
<p>One point though I noticed when reading through the character process, though it is of course up to you how you wish to build your character ^^.</p>
<p>It is on the Ability Score Upgrade at 5th level and above. When you gain the Upgrade you pick four Abilities to upgrade. If they are 16 or below, they go up by 2 and 17 or higher go up by 1. So it seems worth having a 16 rather than a 17.</p>
<p>Nice character though!</p>Looks good! Nothing stands out as incorrect ^^.

Hope nobody minds if I go through the entire character creation process as described in the CRB here. Would be good if people can read over it and see if I've made any big mistakes! Also any alternate suggestions!</p>
<p>Step 1 create a character concept:</p>
<p>Rigid and Honour bound Katasha warrior who decided that the Starfinder Society was a honourable organization worth joining, which just happened to go to heck as soon as he did. He finds the First Seeker to be a worthy human trying to do a good thing in rebuilding the society. He will hold a longarm or heavy weapon in his two lower hands and a two handed melee weapon in his two higher ones! Let's see if I can do that!</p>
<p>Step 2
<br />
Race:</p>
<p>Chosen in concept. Katasha</p>
<p>So Katashas get:
<br />
+2 str
<br />
+2 wis
<br />
-2 int
<br />
4 hp
<br />
Medium size
<br />
Desert stride: desert, hill, and mountainous difficult terrain can be moved through at normal speed</p>
<p>Four-armed: Can hold four hands worth of weapons and equipment.</p>
<p>Historian: +2 racial bonus to Culture checks</p>
<p>Natural grace: +2 racial bonus to Acrobatics and Atheletics checks</p>
<p>Step 3: Choose a Theme.</p>
<p>Mercenary seems to suit this team player best.
<br />
1st level:</p>
<p>DC of Culture checks and Prof:Mercenary to recall knowledge about hierarchies, practices, personnel and so on in the military reduced by 5.</p>
<p>Athletics is a class skill. If already class skill from 1st level instead gain +1 bonus to athletics checks.</p>
<p>Step 4: Choose a Class</p>
<p>Looks like Solider it is! Most important ability score is STR in this case I think, not DEX.</p>
<p>Step 5:
<br />
Ability Scores!</p>
<p>Ok</p>
<p>Step 5-1:
<br />
Str 10
<br />
Dex 10
<br />
Con 10
<br />
Int 10
<br />
Wis 10
<br />
Cha 10</p>
<p>Step 5-2: Race adjustment</p>
<p>Str 12
<br />
Dex 10
<br />
Con 10
<br />
Int 8
<br />
Wis 12
<br />
Cha 10</p>
<p>Step 5-3: Theme
<br />
Str 13
<br />
Dex 10
<br />
Con 10
<br />
Int 8
<br />
Wis 12
<br />
Cha 10</p>
<p>Step 5-4: Buy 10 points</p>
<p>Str 17 (+4 points) mod +3
<br />
Dex 14 (+4 points) mod +2
<br />
Con 12 (+2 points) mod +1
<br />
Int 8 mod -1
<br />
Wis 12 mod +1
<br />
Cha 10</p>
<p>NOTE: Was really considering putting 5 points in Str to get to 18 here.</p>
<p>Step 6. Apply Class</p>
<p>Soldier
<br />
Stamina Points 7 + Con = 7+1=8
<br />
HP: 7 + race + Con = 7+4=11
<br />
Resolve: 1/2 Level + 3 (str) = 4</p>
<p>Skills 4 poins per level
<br />
Class Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Engineering, Intimidate, Medicine, Piloting, Prof, Survival</p>
<p>Weapon Proficiencies: Everything except special weapons I think. </p>
<p>1st Level solider gets
<br />
BAB +1
<br />
Fort +2
<br />
Ref +0
<br />
Will +2</p>
<p>A primary fighting style, primary style technique</p>
<p>Seems like Hit and Run will fit my guy best. The name that's coming to me for him is Makar.</p>
<p>So Primary Style Technique is: Gain Opening Volley as a Bonus Feat</p>
<p>Step 7: Assign Skill Ranks and Choose Feats
<br />
-1+4 = 3 skills :(</p>
<p>With entered Ranks:
<br />
Acrobatics +1+3+2+2=+8
<br />
Athletics +1+3+4+2=+10
<br />
Survival +1+3+1= +5</p>
<p>With no ranks:
<br />
Bluff 0
<br />
Diplomacy 0
<br />
Disguise 0
<br />
Intimidate 0
<br />
Perception +1
<br />
Piloting +2
<br />
Sense Motive +1
<br />
Stealth +2
<br />
Survival +1</p>
<p>Untrained so can't use:
<br />
Computers -1
<br />
Culture -1
<br />
Engineering -1
<br />
Life Science -1
<br />
Medicine -1
<br />
Mysticism 1
<br />
Physical Sciene -1
<br />
Profession +1
<br />
Sleight of Hand +2</p>
<p>Feats:
<br />
Toughness (1st)</p>
<p>Stamina goes to 9,</p>
<p>+4 to con checks to run, avoid damage from forced march, hold breath, void damage from starvation or thirst
<br />
+4 bonus to fort saving throws to void damage from hot or cold environments, thick and thin atmospheres, to avoid choking when breathing heavy smoke, avoid fatigue from sleep deprivations</p>
<p>Opening Volley (Combat Style Bonus)</p>
<p>Whenever deal damage to opponent with a ranged attack on first turn in a combat, gain +2 circumstance bonus on next melee attack roll against that opponent. Melee attack must occur before the end of next turn.</p>
<p>Step 8 Gear:</p>
<p>Armor:
<br />
Ceremonial Plate troop, +1 EAC, +3 KAC, +2 Max Dex bonus, -3 armor check penalty, -10 feet speed, 3 upgrade slots, 3 bulk, 110 credits</p>
