Ok, now that you mention it I'm honestly curious... what does the rest of the world do about creature speeds and the expected 5-foot square battle mats? Do people convert to meters or is that just a fight you've given up on?

We don't. It's just an abstract measure: you know a cell is a 5ft square, but we aren't aware of how long is that. That's leads up to funny GM decisions, such as allowing automatic successes on 15ft vertical jumps as if they were routinely done, or deciding that a 10ft jump is impossible or unrealistic (as if it were a 5m jump), or that someone lying down occupied three cells, all while accepting people throwing heavy objects or even people 40ft away. Have you ever had that one character that bribes the innkeeper by buying the whole village? Well, that same thing, with distance and speed.

Wait, what's the difference between animal and beast?!

Well, "Magical Beast" isn't appearing anywhere, so...

What is difference between ethereals, undead, and spirits? Why is fungus its own thing?

I'm guessing ethereals are night hags and phase spiders, undead are skeletons and zombies, and spirits are ghosts and shaman and medium's spirits...

Thanks for the time, Chris. My lost credits are already back. :)

Concerning downloads, however, I don't seem to be able to fold/display categories. So I can access PF scenarios, as they were unfolded, and can't hide the list; but for Starfinder Scenarios I only have an ugly Paizo Inc.: Starfinder Society (23) with nowhere to click to display its content.

As I was about to report today's SPF tables, I couldn't find the 09-03 scenario "On the Border of War". Indeed, the scenario is missing alongside this season's 5th, 6th and 8th. Probably an oversight.

There's a PFS scenario where this shows up.

The true phylactery is hidden and its aura suppresed, with a false one having magic aura cast onto it, which seems a similar situation to the one you describe. If the characters destroy the decoy, they must succeed on a DC 30 Knowledge (arcana or religion) to realize something is amiss (a true philactery should've been more resilient, released magical energy once destroyed, and had a physical effect on the lich). No other solution is proposed, though [redacted] seems to be able to identify it as fake just by looking at it at the end of the adventure, so maybe a spell strong enough or a roll high enough could reveal the information.
