Update of Pregens

Curious as to when pregen characters will be updated? I know a number of omissions and errors have been identified.

This is on my docket of things to follow-up on. I compiled a list awhile back, of major things that needed looking at, such as Quig's saves/ability scores, starting credits math, and possibly getting a BAB added to help with starship combat. I've not pursued it as much, just because of our need to get other PDFs updated first (such as Chronicle sheets for the AP installments and updated Additional Resources.)

Given that I've just finished the last pass of development and might have some time this week, I'll see about getting more notes passed on. Keep in mind that the Organized Play team was not responsible for creating these pregens. So any work I'm going to do on them will strictly be error correction.

If anyone has anything that they notice is erroneous (Note: not "suboptimal", but actual rules errors) then feel free to post them here. I'll see about getting them passed along.

1/5 **

Unless I'm missing something, Navasi seems to have 1 too many skill points per level used. She should have 10 points but used 11.

Thanks everyone!

Still time to chime in with additional items. With the long weekend, I don't expect any movement on this for at least another week or so.


A minor thing: Keskodai 8 has a flash grenade II in his attacks but it's listed as a flash grenade I in his equipment.

If it is not too late to add something. This is not something on the PreGens but on the Starship Sheet.

Can a box be added for "Current Shield Points"? It is an important piece of information that is not tracked on the current sheet. It can be calculated but nice if there is a spot for it like there is for Hull Points.

3/5

Also weapon ranges for starships printed on the sheet would be helpful.

Someone has already taken the time to transfer the Society Ships to real ship character sheets, personally I think this makes it much easier to run (and having them laminated is absolutely worth it).

Yes, they can be found on the PFSPrep site. I went a step further and modified the official starship sheet to include a "Total Shields Points" box. I was one of the people working on fallible PDFs during the run up to GenCon.

So any progress in Pregen revisions?

We were just complaining about that last night, too.

Hey folks, I recognize that there's a lot of interest in getting these updated.

Right now, I'm juggling a bunch of end of year tasks (scenarios slightly earlier so holidays aren't a mess, some big planning meetings, other exciting unannounced endeavors.) Along with that, I'm trying to make room for getting caught up on Additional Resources/Sanctioning (Alien Archive 2 / Signal of Screams, I SEE YOU!).

So please don't think this has been forgotten. Or that I've not seen the increased request for better starship and pregen presentation. It remains on my mental check list, it just might take some more time :)

Any updates on the updates? It's been a year and a day since "So please don't think this has been forgotten". It keeps coming up in our various sessions, so it would be super-nice if we got something. Would there be any use in coming up with an unofficial list of errors and potential corrections?

Couldn't help but notice the addition last week of some new pregens in the download file.
Can't wait to get my copy of COM.

Correct!

Also note: There are no updates to the original pregens at this time. I'm still hoping to get around to those, but my commitment right now is to scenario releases and making sure that Additional Resources is in a solid place.

Are the new pregens from Character Ops legal for Society play already, even though there's no additional resources update yet?

Official Update: The Character Operations Manual Pregens are valid for play in Starfinder Society. The additional resources is coming (Soon™), however these pregens have been written in mind with valid options and their options remain unaffected from the impending Additional Resources update.

Go forth and conquer (with your new pregens).

Does that mean we HAVE them now or will soon?

They've been added to the Community Use Starfinder pre-gen file, that's likely already in your downloads, just need to re-download it.

Still puzzling out all the options for damage mitigate on the Vanguard cause..wow. Groovy

None of the core pre-gens have weapon specialization at 4th level and Obazaya is the only core pre-gen that has it at 8th level. Could we get an update correcting this or an announcement clarifying that this is intentional?

They seem to have it built into their damage even if its not listed as a feat.
