My -702 Character is still in another PbP, so I made a new Character. Hope that is ok.

No worries Quig!

And what's an Aid Token you might be asking? An Aid token represents the help and support the Starfinders can give each other by working together.

When you guys have one you can either use it for one of a variety of effects, or boost it to make it more potent in the future. Either way as soon as you do that, we'll pass it on to another table. The more we pass 'em the more use everyone will get, so don't be shy about using them.

These benefits can take one of the following forms.
Allied Offensive: A nearby Starfinder agent strikes a creature at the same time as the PC, increasing the damage dealt on one attack by 1d8. In addition, after the attack, the target counts as flanked when targeted by any melee attacks until the beginning of the attacker’s next turn.
To Boost: Succeed at an attack roll against an AC equal to an Average skill check DC.
Boosted Effect: +1d8 damage.

First Aid: A Starfinder agent restores 1d6 Hit Points or Stamina Points to each PC—each PC can choose which benefit to receive.
To Boost: Succeed at an Average Medicine check.
Boosted Effect: +1d6 HP or SP restored.

Remote Assistance: A Starfinder crew provides starship assistance from afar. Each PC receives a +2 bonus to all checks required by crew actions for 1 round.
To Boost: Expend 1 Resolve Point.
Boosted Effect: One member of the crew also gains an additional action, just as though the ship’s captain had successfully used the orders action.

Timely Inspiration: A Starfinder agent provides the effects of an envoy’s don’t quit improvisation. Each PC can choose one of the benefits available at 1st level; the effect lasts 1 round.
To Boost: Expend 1 Resolve Point.
Boosted Effect: Choose one PC; remove one nonpermanent condition instead of suppressing it.

Provide Knowledge (must be boosted): Gain the benefit of a successful Culture, Engineering, Life Science, Mysticism, Physical Science, or Profession check to identify a creature or recall knowledge; the difficulty (Easy, Average or Hard) depends on the boost granting the benefit.
To Boost: Succeed at a check with one of the skills listed above; the result of the check (Easy, Average or Hard) should be noted on the Aid Token.

Provide Spellcasting (must be boosted): Gain the benefits of a beneficial spell cast by an ally as listed on the Aid Token.
To Boost: Cast one of the following spells and note your PC’s name and caster level on the Aid Token: break enchantment, lesser remove condition, lesser restoration, mystic cure, remove affliction, or remove condition. Only these spells may be granted. Expending resources that produce the effects of these spells can also boost this Aid Token.

And yet more exciting - we're one of the tables starting with one!

Sweet!

I vote we go ahead and boost it and pass it on.

How about the Provide Knowledge one? I'm sure that there will be some knowledge checks needed as we really get started here.

Sounds good to me.

They all look good to me, I bow to the masses.

I've only got Culture out of the list and only a +4 bonus.

Does someone else with a better bonus in a more currently useful skill want to make the roll?

I don't think we actually have one yet..we only earned an in game bonus, once we do.

And yet more exciting - we're one of the tables starting with one!

Happily enough, you guys do have one!

Ooops miss that -- Huzzah! Yeah I say boost it!

Looks like the handouts are not shared.

For the boost - my best is +7 Culture...any one else have better?

Looks like the handouts are not shared.

I'm not seeing the link, either.

I see the link but it's not shared yet.

I have requested access to the handouts as well

Sorry guys, should be live now

Hey guys, we're going to be on hiatus til Friday (or further notice) to make sure that everyone's able to get back into the swing of things before restarting the clock.

Well, turns out I was definitely correct about when we'd be back :-/

I'll push us forward later tonight or once everyone's checked back in.

Just a reminder that you guys do have an aid token. If you're feeling good so far, feel free to boost it and pass it along!

You guys had talked about boosting it with Culture, but someone needs to actually roll :p

Sure, someone with a good Culture roll boost it and pass it.

I'll give it a whirl.

Culture Boost?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

@GM - is it like Pathfinder special were you can only make one attempt to boost; if you fail you move it one with out boosting?

Just in case not, Gary will try as well:

Culture Boost: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

A nearby ship drops off some valuable aid for you.

Boosted with Remote Assistance

Hey guys, just a reminder to use up your Aid Token this fight!

Does each PC benefit from Allied Offensive? If so I say we use that!

I agree, I am not taking an offensive action in round 1

Just one person gets the +d8, but everyone benefits from it counting as flanked.

Use the token for allied offensive please. Apply the 1d8 benefit to someone who is hitting well. Who wants it?

Looking at the wording it can be used after a successful hit -- "increasing the damage dealt on one attack by 1d8" So next time some gets a hit roll that d8

The communications channel crackles to life and a booming voice sounds out, "Looks like you folks could you a little help! Here, this'll do the trick!"

Enjoy an aid token!

Just wanted to give you guys a preview of Azara's next work.

It's Lashunta epic poetry, which is like regular epic poetry but each Stanza is structured like a haiku. This one is somewhat controversial because it has 52 stanzas rather than the traditional 51 (because it needed it, per Azara.)

Gary King of the Humans
Came to the Scour’d Stars
Reeking of Heroic Booze

Beside him his entourage
Each one brave and true
A band of noble heroes

Exemplary Exemplar
Master of missiles
Man of mystic mightiness

Ysoki twins in spirit
Both Quig and Naboh
Skilled gamers and mechanics

And there was one more with them
A duke of gravity
A true scion of the stars

Yeah, that's great and all. But you know, right, that it doesn't rhyme?

;-)

Gary approves first drink is on him to celebrate the the new poem!

AID TOKEN INCOMING

Give those Jinsuls some pain!

Azara's boon!: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Congrats to Azara and the rest of you on a hard won victory!

Chronicles should be up later today.

Thanks, GM!

Yes, thanks! This was only my second Starfinder game, and I had a lot of fun...and learned that I actually do like playing a Solarion.

Thanks GM Cwethan and thanks fellow players.

Oh, something I just noticed while finalizing chronicles. You guys get a free point of Reputation with the Second Seekers, but it's your decision if you'd like that to be the Luwazi Elsebo faction, or the Jadnura faction.

Also, Gary, I noticed you made a Day Job roll and slotted True Savior of Tasch, which iirc are mutually exclusive. What's your choice?

Great job Cwethan! Thanks for running and thanks fellow Starfinders for a fun run.

Oops...yeah I meant to use the True Savior, I think I just mindlessly rolled the Day Job as a habit..lol

I'll go with Luwazi

Okay guys, chronicles are here! Just let me know if you need any tweaks :)

Also, the Venture Team would love to see your thoughts on the special as a whole here!
