Cree, I have moved your token into the initial area of the map. When you join the game in roll 20, I will give you control of your character as quickly as possible :)
Oh hell, sorry. Will get into Roll20 now. Can I also suggest tossing the link in your header on your profile, so we can click on your post instead of scrolling to the top all the time?
If not that's fine, it's just what I do for the game I GM, so I find it convenient.
I just moved Krevlor into cover to make it clear where he intends to go.
Given this is a surprise round you can only take a standard, move, or minor action - are you more interested in moving or more interested in drawing a weapon? :)
Moving
Great...now I'm gonna have to apologise to my home group for thinking I'd screwed up surprise on their first combat, when actually I'd gotten it right the first time and messed up their second combat surprise round instead..
Science fantasy you say, unexpected firefight you say... years of running Dark Heresy tell me to get into cover fast.
Supercharge Weapon:
"You supercharge the target weapon. If the weapon’s next attack hits (provided it is made before the end of the next round), the attack deals 4d6 additional damage if the weapon is a single target attack or 2d6 additional damage if the weapon attacks all creatures in an area. This bonus damage is of the same type as the weapon’s normal damage."
I don't see anything requiring it to be a tech weapon. Basically you give it the extra 'oomph' that does the damage. Still, really looking forward to enjoying the 4d6 damage. Probably finish any threat off with that much extra damage at level 1!
oh, okay. Well, it seems kinda weird that it's called "Supercharge" because that implies it needs tech.
that being said...YOU'RE POWERED UP! GET IN THERE! :P:P:P

Of course, having just tried playing Destiny 2... I see supercharge and I want to fling a black hole at someone.
But I would still have to wait for like 3 turns before I could actually DO that. :(
From a game where I am playing a technomancer with a bombard soldier I started thinking about the wonders of comboing supercharge weapon with sticky bombs (I can't remember the real name but you get the idea). Normally you do no damage and just entangle people... now you do more damage than a frag grenade at this level and entangle people.

Does the sticky grenade have a damage type? Cause if it has no damage type (because it does no damage) then the supercharge does 2d6... of no damage type... which tells me that you couldn't supercharge weapons that don't do damage, but probably needs errata to clarify.
But seriously though, supercharge me some frag grenades and lets clear a room!
Just to advise, Kneeling/Crouching is a condition that I have created (so it might be a little rough/unbalanced), because who doesn't like crouching behind pillars shooting at their enemies? :)
Kneeling/Crouching
You have lowered your body to reduce your profile against ranged attacks. You take a -2 penalty to melee attack rolls. You gain a +2 to your AC against ranged attacks but a -2 penalty to your AC against melee attacks. You also take a -4 penalty to your KAC against the Bull Rush, Grapple, Reposition, and Trip combat manoeuvres. Standing up from kneeling/crouching is a swift action.
Like with dropping prone, you can drop to one knee/crouch as a swift action, and you can move at double movement cost while crouching as opposed to crawling 5 ft. while prone.
--==--
Effectively I've taken the prone condition, halved it (since you're not flat bellied to the ground), and added in a balance in that it is easier to use certain combat manoeuvers against you due to your impacted range of movement. Let me know what you think and if there's any tweaks to be made to these rules.
Hi all - very large apologies for there have been no update to the game last night. Forums were inaccessible for me since yesterday afternoon from all devices. I will endeavour to get an update done today as quick as I can while at work.
so I commissioned my friend to draw my character: Valorus K'thars
Thought I'd show it off.
Link doesn't seem to go anywhere. :(
Character looks awesome man :)
And it appears that whatever issues the forums are having with keeping me logged in have also served my post up as as a snack to the Great Old Ones. As soon as I'm home and at my PC (and thus a proper word processor), a post will be made.
Does this link work for you, Herald Navus?
I'm also being logged out constantly, both in Chrome and in Safari on my phone.
Does this link work for you, Herald Navus?
Working now!
I need to commission my character. It's not often I get to play space-rainbow dash.
I do hope that Paizo gets its act together on these forum issues. Losing my posts and losing time to get a post written due to maintenance/gremlin shenanigans is beginning to eat at me :( I will get a post up ASAP.
Uuuughh! Well on the plus side for THIS game we could switch to entirely Roll20. I've never just played a game off that site but it would be interesting.
Sorry about the delay, had a busy weekend and the site's issues did not make things any easier.
It seems my toggle-able stellar mote and my attunement class features are difficult for others to keep track of. Should I adjust my stat bar to include both totals and have an attunement tracker?
Apologies for missing that - with all the issues the website has been having, I'd come to rely a little more heavily on the status bars of characters for vital information than I normally would. I'll get a small retcon in place as soon as possible.
Going forward if people can update their status bars with what conditions/abilities/spells they are affected by, it would be greatly appreciated. Any modified stats - AC, temp HP, saves, etc - can be put in parentheses after their normal stat. For example, KAC 16 (17) for Herald while stellar armour is active.
Okay I'll update with that now!
Excellent, thank you for doing that :) the extra formatting will really help out when looking over people quickly.
Updated a status bar for Cree.
"Adine, you too! Ditch your boyfriend and dance another time!"
Adine x Herald, I already ship it.
Romance, the best way to defeat an enemy encounter! ;)
Hey folks. I'm writing to all of my games to let you know that I'm going through some stuff right now. A dear friend of mine just passed away, and the past few days have been rather hectic, with friends and family visiting from out of town, a memorial service this afternoon, etc.
I'm not abandoning anyone, but I do appreciate your patience and understanding while I take a couple of days to get things sorted. I estimate I'll be back sometime before the end of this week.
Thank you.
Sorry for your loss.
Very sorry for your loss Cree :( take all the time you need, and I’ll bot as needed until you are ready to jump back in control.
I'm sorry for your loss. We'll still be here when you return.
We understand. Take all the time you need and take care of yourself.
My condolences, Cree. :(
It would be risky but if we got the stealthiest person in the group to sneak in with a bunch of pistols on them. Have the rest of us walk in and re equip on the inside.
Im gonna go distract the guy, so the stealthy guy can get to work!
our two stealthiest members are Herald and Cree with a +3...so yeah, turns out we're not the stealthiest group in the Starfinder Society :P
"If I have to roll stealth, I'm doing it wrong." Herald's opinion.
Hey all - just a bit of a word for over the next few days to let you know that I'll still be around to keep the games moving along, but if you guys go silent between now and the 28th, then that's no worry. I'm expecting that the games will have a bit of a reduced posting rate for the next few days thanks to the holiday season. So no dramas at all :)
Would like to thank you all for sticking with the game so far - it has been a pleasure to run this game for you fine folks :) and also to wish you all safe and happy holidays with whatever you celebrate (if anything at all).
Thanks for running it for us and you did a good alteration from the default current encounter might I add as someone who has run it.
Yeah you did great! Adding the new races is a good idea. I'll try to be active since I'm not a hardcore adherent to big holiday hooplah.
On a side note, if I die, can I play one of the alien archive races as a replacement? :P
In all seriousness, the way the RNG is going for us, that may be a possibility!
Sorry Darshe didn't realise how badly injured you were. No way for Krevlor to get over this round, I'll get him over and heal Darshe next round.
Hey all - apologies for going off the grid for the last couple days. Had a family situation to help out with unexpectedly. I have returned and will bash out a quick couple of posts to my games before bed, and will be back to posting more frequently going forward :) Hope you're all well and still with us here.
No problem, real life gets in the way sometimes.
Hey all - still waiting on a few rolls quickly from anyone who wants to assist/make the Diplomacy or Intimidate checks to get Ferani to talk. I'll give until tomorrow my time for this to happen, and then I will go with the rolls that have been made and move the game on from there :)
Are we still good to go on? It's been almost a month since Cree and Herald have posted, and we've been interrogating Ferani for longer than that. Just wanted to see whether we need to take a break or something.
I’m good to keep the game going if you guys are still interested in keeping involved. If Cree and Herald have disappeared from the game I’ll look into recruiting more people.
I am sorry for not being the most on-the-ball GM around. I haven’t forgotten about the game, but sometimes my headspace gets a bit full and it takes longer than I’d like to clear through the crud in it to get on top of posting. I will try to do better going forward.
I'm good to keep going. Hopefully we can just loot the place and get this woman to station security.
