I haven't really played Starfinder that much, but I'm beginning to feel AC doesn't matter much. At least for PC's. I mean a lvl 1 character can hope to have max KAC around 18, and this enemy (similar to most of the other enemies in other scenarios) attack bonus of 12 - so it'll hit very easily even the best armored PC's.
I understand the dynamic of SF is to "Go down" far more often than in PF, and then just use RP to spring back up. But I'm wondering if there's any point in investing in armor?
How do you guys feel?
(I'm ranting because I'm wondering if I should retrain the heavy armor proficiency away...)

Since this is a con - I need D20 rolls from everyone
Boons are won on a 1 or a 20.
boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 13

It matters more later - look at the pregens for ACs by level. Soldiers need AC more than casters unless you are planning being in melee.
If you look at the creature CR charts in Alien Archive you can get a feel for how hit advancement works and when you'll need armor.

Looks good. And google docs is good for me. Thanks.

Thanks for the bot.
boon: 1d20 ⇒ 1
Kai actually uses Survival for Trick Attacks.
Other GMs have been letting me mark the Alien Archive PDF. Do you want me to send it to you to sign?
Drive would work for me.

The Alien Archive boon is like a Chronicle sheet. Players get a line signed off each time they play through a session, and at 6 and 12 sessions, they earn more races that they can play as with new characters. Anyone can start one, Liam can send a new one for you, though you will have to have a copy of Alien Archives to play any that you earn.

Oh, me, please! I had no idea about that. I don't have the sheet started.

Finally had time to read through the gameplay thread. Thanks for running it, GM!

You're welcome, it was fun. A bit clunky with the space combat, but it got smoother after that.
Ok, I'm going to get this reported and work on sheets. PM me with your e-mail address or google docs and I'll get them to you.

You should already have a PM from me with my email address. Do I need to send you my Alien Archive boon or can I just mark it myself?
Qaru

No day job here.
I have an alien archive already started. So it's ok if I just mark this scenario by myself?
Zez'ka
|
Yeah, I don't have a day job.

Hi GM Liam! Would be great if you could fill out the sheet and include this one game. Is my first Starfinder chronicle with my first character! ;-)
Oh by the way! Is there something similar to Pathfinder first boon sheet ... this welcome thing for Starfinder? If yes I would be very grateful if you could fill that out for me too please.
Thanks!!!

No profession for Spunky. And another pbp told me I could just mark my Archives boon if it is difficult for you to do so. There is a Welcome to Starfinder boon somewhere for Borde. Safe travels with your new character.

There is and I'll send it to you. I went and saw Infinity War tonight instead of being a good GM and working on sheets, but I should be done in a day or so and have them out. The big rush was getting it reported so HQ can do whatever it is they do.
Also, if anyone is interested in Half Alive Streets, I can put that together to start next week if folks want.

I am interested in Half Alive Streets, but I think I need to pass; I am still underwater at work right now.

I'm actually waiting on my chronicle for another game that's starting. Thanks.

I’m planning more pbp, but I need to take a break and focus on finding a job before my current contract ends.

Got mine! Thanks!
