At long last, the Pathfinders have reached the lost Sky Citadel Jormurdun only to find it already occupied by fiends and subterranean foes. The Society must mount an epic offense to explore the immense subterranean city while simultaneously driving off the squatters within. If they succeed, the Pathfinders may discover that the greatest prize is not the mountain fortress itself but the treasure that lies at its heart.

Welcome one and welcome all! To SFS Special 1-99 - The Scoured Stars Invasion which will start on August 13 2018, as part of PBP Gameday VII.
I first want to get some house rules out of the way so we have a common understanding. I assume you will have read this.
Please take note of the following:
- I expect everyone to be supportive of each other, it's possible that combat/starship timing can cause mistakes or confusion. It will not be an issue, as long as we keep the communication open.
- For combats, I will roll initiative in one block, and will handle the actions in that order. You are free to state your actions, if they haven't been invalidated your character will proceed according to that, if it's not a possible course of action anymore, (like the last enemy in range dying), I will PM you or try to adjust your action in a similar fashion.
- I attempt to post at least twice a day during weekdays and at least once during the weekend. When I do not post: I have not forgotten about you, life/work has thrown a wrench in my gaming schedule.
- For decision making purposes: when the first two characters agree on a course of action we will go with their decision.
- And most important: this is a game and I expect us all to have fun while playing! If something causes you not to have fun: please address it (either here or in a PM) and I will do my utmost to get you back to having fun again.
Once the information is available, fill in the things down below:
Chronicle: What chronicle number this is for the character.
History: What scenarios has the character completed? (or been credited with); any other chronicles (special boons etc).
Name: (The player's) Real name (or how you want it to appear on your chronicle sheets).
AKA: Character name.
Faction: The faction you are slotting for this adventure.
SFS: # for the character.
XP: starting XP.
Fame: Starting fame.
Reputation: Starting reputation.
Credits: Starting wealth you bring into the adventure. This should be the total on your previous chronicle and the total before you make other purchases.
Dayjob: Skill used + the roll.
Finally, here we'll find the [url=Finally, here we'll find the Pregenerated SFS Characters, each can be in the table more than once, but having a diverse groups is recommended]Pregenerated SFS Characters[/url, in case they are needed.
Feel free to dot away with your characters/aliases, to add this game to your Campaigns.
Hello everyone, this will be our Discussion thread for any Out Of Character discussion, off-topic and anything that does not fit in Gameplay =)
Like it usually happens after a 'long weekend' today was crazy, but I'm ready to start.
Also, this is my usual night-posting time.
Feel free to dot away with your characters/aliases, to add this game to your Campaigns.
Hi there! Welcome to the Starfinder Society scenario 1-00 - Claim to Salvation which will start on September 4 2017, as part of PBP Gameday VI.
I first want to get some house rules out of the way so we have a common understanding. I assume you will have read this.
Please take notice of the following:
- I expect everyone to be supportive of each other, we are exploring a new ruleset and I expect that we will make mistakes. That is no issue, as long as we keep the communication open.
- For combats, I will roll initiative in one block, and will handle the actions in that order. You are free to state your actions, if they haven't been invalidated your character will proceed according to that, if it's not a possible course of action anymore, I will PM you or try to adjust your action in a similar fashion.
- I expect you to use the appropriate lines (Race, Classes / Levels and Gender) to give me vital information (AC, Saves etc) about your character. You can take a look at my characters for an example.
- I attempt to post at least twice a day during weekdays and at least once during the weekend. When I do not post: I have not forgotten about you, life/work has thrown a wrench in my gaming schedule.
- For decision making purposes: when two characters agree on a course of action we will go with their decision.
- And most important: this is a game and I expect us all to have fun while playing! If something causes you not to have fun: please address it (either here or in a PM) and I will do my utmost to get you back to having fun again.
Once the information is available, fill in the things down below:
Chronicle: What chronicle number this is for the character.
History: What scenarios has the character completed? (or been credited with); any other chronicles (special boons etc).
Name: (The player's) Real name (or how you want it to appear on your chronicle sheets).
AKA: Character name.
Faction: The faction you are slotting for this scenario.
SFS: # for the character.
XP: starting XP.
Fame: Starting fame.
Reputation: Starting reputation.
Gold: Starting wealth you bring into the adventure. This should be the total on your previous chronicle and the total before you make other purchases.
Dayjob: Skill used + the roll.
Apply adventure credit: For this scenario you can choose to apply credit once your character hits level 4 or to a newly-created 1st-level character, in the latter reducing the credits reward to 720.
Finally, here we'll find the Pregenerated SFS Characters, each can be in the table more than once, but having a diverse groups is recommended.
Hi there, here goes, I've recently finished GMing The Dragon's Demand, now I have a level 7 synthesist summoner to work with, and I chose Leadership as level 7 feat, since I thought our party needed some out of battle assistance (we have an alchemist, cleric, magus, monk, rogue and wizard (7 players, with 4 of us alternating the GM role about every month)).
And now I'm trying to build a crafting cohort, so I bring this to advice to see if there's anything I'm overlooking, here's the build.

All tools vest (1/day) This well-made leather vest bears numerous shiny metal buttons, which stud a number of bulging pockets. Once per day, as a standard action, the wearer can speak the vest's command word and order it to bring forth all the standard tools required to make checks for any one Craft skill.

guys looking for your input here,
let's assume a Fighter level 3 with Full Plate and Tower Shield, on Mythic Tier 1, and s/he takes Armor Master as Mythic Ability
Armor Check Penalty = -6 (Full Plate) -10 (Tower Shield) = -16
Max Dexteriry= +1 (FP) +2 (TS) = so +1, since its lower
Armor Training wrote: Armor Check Penalty = -5 (Full Plate) -10 (Tower Shield) = -15
Max Dexteriry= +2 (FP) +2 (TS) = so +2, they are the same
Armor Master wrote: Armor Check Penalty = -6 (Full Plate) -0 (Tower Shield) = -6
Max Dexteriry= +1 (FP) +2 (TS) = so +1, since its lower
Now... to spice things up, let's say we had the Tower Shield Specialist Archetype, so Tower Shield Training (replaces Armor Training) reads
TST wrote: From the start,
Armor Check Penalty = -6 (Full Plate) -10 (Tower Shield) = -16
Max Dexteriry= +1 (FP) +2 (TS) = so +1, since its lower
After TST,
Armor Check Penalty = -6 (Full Plate) -10 (Tower Shield) +3 (TST) = -13
Max Dexteriry= +3 (FP) +2 (TS) = so +2, since its lower (eventhough the lowest Dex comes from the shield)
After AM,
Armor Check Penalty = -6 (Full Plate) +0 (Tower Shield) +3 (TST) = -3
Max Dexteriry= +3 (FP) +2 (TS) = so +2, since its lower (eventhough the lowest Dex comes from the shield)
Final = ACP -3 Max Dex = +2
Am I wrong? If so... Where? Why?
I was reading the Mythic Abilities, and found this
Armor Master (Ex)
You don't take an ARMOR CHECK PENALTY or incur an arcane spell failure chance when wearing light armor or using a shield (INCLUDING A TOWER SHIELD). In addition, the maximum Dexterity bonus of light armor doesn't apply to you. You can select this ability up to three times. The second time, it also applies to medium armor. The third time, it also applies to heavy armor
"When employing a tower shield in combat, you take a –2 penalty on attack rolls because of the shield's ENCUMBRANCE."
would this mean that the -2 to attacks because of the shield's encumbrance is cancelled with the Armor Check Penalty, or would it still stand?
