oh. oops.
I don't want it to get heated either :)
** spoiler omitted **
I was never referring to power when I was talking about charecter skill, but rather in chsrecter actions.
Guns are some of the most effective options in the game in a lot of ways, but I can't bear to use them, usually. (There are exceptions, of course, but only two rather narrow archtypes of chsrecter in my head, and those two are pretty much expended once I make each into a charecter.)
Generally, I don't even like high tech swords, because I like chsrecter skill taking scented stage, not thier nice sword. For this reason, I usually select magic items with little to no tells, usually raw stat boots. (Expetions to be made for chsrecters defined by thier gear- a few chsrecters can get away with this and still be neat, by having intelligent gear, making unstable prototypes, or being defined by just hsving so much crazy backup gear that thier special ability is kinda "has all the stuff" (pathfinder chronicler) )
If it wasn't so bad in pathfinder, I'd use vow of poverty constantly.
Fair enough. So, it's not so much SF, just a playstyle or "fun" factor for you.
Basically.
I haven't really looked into the starfinder rules much, because pathfinder already had more options, a postive for me, and uses a style I like- not much incentive to check it out at all.

Ah well, at least I tried. There's already a *ton* of 3pp support out for SF, but obviously a lot less official Paizo. For now at least.
Hey guys. A little update on me and my life is in order, I suppose.
Long story short, I'm going to actual-college now! I moved into the dorms here two weeks ago, and since then I've been adjusting to new schedules and life with no one I've know more than a couple weeks.
It's a very conservative Christian school, and for the first week and a half, Paizo was on the other side of the Firewall of Jericho, but for some reason they seem to have changed their mind about it.
Anyways, sorry about the wait. I can't tell yet if I'm ever going to be as active as I once was, but now that it's opened back up, I'll at least try posting again at all.
Cool! Which school you going to, if you don't mind me asking?
I almost went to Tabor college instead of UNO...
At a very small place called Bryan College. It's nice and personal. Most people I have in any class is 36.
The one in Tennessee?
Yep.
I'm trusting you all not to stalk me. :P
LOL I'm in Nebraska, and not a fan of road trips.
Fair enough.
Hey Lyn, is it safe to start posting again? I know ya got a few in the other day, but I'm holding back so there's less new posts for ya when you come back.
Yep.
I'm trusting you all not to stalk me. :P
Be vewwwy quiet...
In other news, has anyone read The Aeronaut's Windlass?
I hope you guys are doing ok, especially in the southeast US.
It's still Saturday, we're like two(maybe 3) weeks into the school year, so like Sept 21st or so.

Hey guys, thanks for being patient with my extended and unintended silence. I've been having a bit of a mental health crisis. A combination of circumstances (new sleep schedule + stomach bug, which messed with my blood sugar levels + PMS because it really does show up at the worst possible times) led to totally losing control of my depression management. Basically I've been in a really bad place mentally and emotionally and have been busy trying to deal with that. I'm doing some better. At least I haven't had any thoughts of self harm today. So progress! Anyhow, I just wanted to give you guys an update on what's going on. I know that some of you also struggle with mental illnesses, so you will understand how frustrating and inconvenient it is when you know your brain isn't working right and there's nothing you can do to fix it.
Anyhow, please feel free to post as much as you like in the game thread. I will catch up as best as I am able. Writing for this game is good for me and I really need to get back to it. :)
Glad to see you're back and starting to get back on the upswing.
Definitely praying for you and yours. <3
Glad you're back Lyn, you were missed!!
Hey guys. I have some free characters if anyone wants to post some. It's gotten kinda quiet again.
I have:
Archena: Firebird artist
Rakki: Tanuki ex-popstar
Sara: Elementary student animal witch

So, after four and a half years, I've finally done a proper picture of Tybs.
Hope you guys like it, and that he's not too far off from how you imagined. I'm not a great artist, but I'm very happy with the results.
Oh dang nice pic

It's gud!
I actually expected more bling lol. One ear, several fingers, and all his toes are empty, and he could totally add more to his tail. LOLOL :)
Otherwise, great pic!
Thanks guys. I haven't been able to look at this page without going to look at it again, so I'm definitely happy you guys like it too. ^_^
As far as the jewelry goes, I tried to go with the more essential ones, and things I had mentioned specifically. Didnt want to make it too terribly distracting and/or too much like Mr. T.
His portal ring is the one with the small chest on his right hand.
The purple bracelet on his right wrist is his planet hopping watch.
The gold necklace is what I call the Medallion of Minor Magics that lets him use extra cantrips.
The brown ring on his left hand blows bubbles when you take it off.
The gold ring on his left works like a jeweler's magnifying glass.
The sapphire ring points north when hanging.
The thing on his tail does something, but it's a secret right now.
I may go back later and add more stuff because I just realized he's missing the mark from Dave on his right hand.

So I'm thinking, as a little "I'm bored" project, of making a bunch of (not gestalt)characters with third party material(classes mostly, but feats and other things are on the table) and posting it for the heck of it. There would be rules to how I make such characters, of course, and they would apply to others if they wanted to put their own ideas in it too. Would anyone be interested in seeing something like that?
I like the pic, Magic. :)
Now here's hoping that I can get through more than one post without being interrupted by a medical emergency....that last post sat half finished on my computer since Friday afternoon....it wasn't even that involved. :P
(Kidlet sprained his wrist on Friday. I had a severe asthma attack on Saturday. To be fair, there were no medical emergencies on Sunday. Sunday was just busy. Which is lots better than the mix of excitement and boredom that comes from trips to urgent care.)
To be honest, I haven't been following the solstice timeline. We can just say that Lim-Mor had a bit of an episode and went back to the school before stuff went down.
I'm honestly kinda not sure about him any more. He was a fun concept, but he's just not really playing well. Out of all my characters, he's the most work to write for, but it kinda always plays out the same.
So has anyone ever watched Kill La Kill? That's kind of the idea I'm going for, minus certain spoiler things.

As nice as that would be for him, he'd kinda stop being interesting after that.
I think the biggest challenge for Lim-Mor is that he has two personalities bullying him. It's even worse than Crona and Ragnarok. And it tends to take him out of interactions and conversations which limits his ability to make connections. Basically Aziraphile and Crowley (yes, I know, not their real names, but it's how I think of them) need to come up with some kind of time-share so that only one of them is bullying him at a time with the other only popping up in a real emergency until it's actually their turn. :)

But what happens when they aren't balancing eachother, hmm? What dangers might they become until they get combined again? What if they don't want to?
See the first episode of Jackie Chan Adventures that features the Tiger Talisman, though the one with Springheel Jack is also a decent example.
I might try these as a storyline some time, but for now I'm just gonna focus on other characters.
I might need a reminder on how exactly to operate the sim rooms.
