[Boons] Exo-Guardians - Collector and Examiner [Ruling]

I have posted from this character's profile as he's the one I'm looking to use in relation to the above boon.

My query is thus: Moktargarn is a Vesk who refuses to kill. Certainly, he will knock someone around without problem, but he draws the line at killing.

However, this boon clearly states cadaver. If I knock out and manacle a creature, can I use that as fulfilling the cadaver part of the boon?

Obviously this means I cannot use the boon for such things as oozes without some suitable form of non-lethal containment, 'cos manacles won't cut it.

The boon is pretty explicit that it has to be a cadaver.

However it doesn't say that you have to be the one to kill it. Unless you manage to convince your entire party to use non-lethal weapons all the time, it's quite likely there will be a few corpses to bring back for the Exo-Guardians. (What with the change to how non-lethal works, it requires a lot of effort to knock out NPCs via non-lethal damage without killing them in Starfinder.)

The things "The Examiner" does aren't suitable for living (and unliving undead) creatures. Cadavers are a necessity!

You know.... There is a ready source of cadavers presented in one early Starfinder Society adventure. You just have to convice a bunch of ysoki to part with some of their garden’s fertilizer.

The way nonlethal damage works in Starfinder, your party members are quite likely to produce enough cadavers for you.

Well I have just finished 1-02 with an online group here on the forums and we managed to avoid killing anyone, albeit with some post-combat healing.

However I guess I will have another look at the boons.
