Thanks for having me aboard. Yesterday was brutal at work. I had to rush 'Ears' creation and I make mistakes at the best of times. I'll double check him tonight.

At a glance I can see you've listed your speed as 20, but Ysoki have 30ft base.

Excited for my first SFS game! Should we post in gameplay right away or hold off till everyone has reported?

Edit:Nevermind lol. I see we have begun.

I assume it is polite to wait for other to react to what Hish and I have had to say instead of responding to Hish straight away?

Also I was snooping a few character sheets and noticed some things:
Hish - the ghost specialization has been errata'd so the stealth bonus is only +1 when Trick Attacking.
Gwin - Your survival knife is listed as +0, but as it is an operative weapon, you can use your Dex to attack in melee instead of your strength.

Oooh, thanks for the catch! I don't play much Starfinder so I'm not up-to-date on the errata.

Honestly that makes so much sense, the +4 always seemed high to me.

I only recognized it cause one of my PCs is a Ghost Operative IRL. I suspect it was a copy-paste error, any specialization which does NOT use a Dex-based Trick Attack DOES get a +4.

Shiktal, thanks for catching the speed error.

No problem!

It occurs to me that we lack a "face" type character, so the charisma checks might be a crapshoot hah. Still worth tossing a dice at.

Shoulda made that envoy I was thinking of.

Edit: Back from the game thread. Ouch! I shoulda at least peeked at everyone's PC and tossed a point into diplomacy.

Glad you're back, Z. I was getting a little worried.

Fighting off an illness that’s left me exhausted; will post ASAP, but feel free to bot If needed.

Hope you're feeling better soon, Norv.

@Hish feel better soon!

@Thom if you are still interested, there is a slot open still on my half-alive streets game.

So this is only my second SF game ever - I'm wondering in this situation, if it is more SOP to burn a resolve point and rest for 10, or to use a healing serum?

I'm no pro but I'll give you my two cents worth.

HP recovery is more difficult than SP and they are healed separately.

At first level a healing serum is usually all you've got for HP recovery, so you've got to make the most of it. Ears only took 2 HP damage, so I'm not using the serum yet and hoping that my SP will get me through.

For you, you've taken heavy HP damage. Even if you revive your stamina, you'll still be relatively vulnerable compared to your normal state. I'd use the serum, and take 10 minutes/spend an RP to recover stamina.

All: just wanted to let you know that I'll be traveling this weekend (Sat. morning thru Mon. evening). Will try to post if possible by mobile, but if not, please feel free to bot me! :)

Sorry for lack of posting. Between the Marine Corp birthday, followed up by Veterans day celebration, my body was not able to fully function.

I am now detoxing and should be good.

Hope you had a good time!

No worries! I was having trouble posting as well due to a hand injury, mostly healed now though. :)

Just FYI Ears guarded step is a move action in Starfinder so you cannot full attack as well.

Thanks, FCD!

In addition to the information provided above. I also need to know your current amount of fame and any reputation you have with your slotted faction. I will begin working on your chronicle sheets.

Hish has 2 Fame and 2 Rep with the Wayfinders.

Patterson has 2 Fame, and Acquisitives slotted. How does one get Rep with a slotted faction? His Fame came from a Commencement run, and AFAICT there was no specificity to which faction that came with.

Usually, depending on how well you did, you get reputation equal the fame gained for the scenario. So if you had the acquisitive boon slotted for you commencement, you would have 2 reputation with them.

For example; since you have the Acquisitive Faction boon slotted, you would gain 2 fame for completing the mission, along with 2 reputation with the Acquisitive.

Some scenarios grant additional reputation with certain factions, even if you do not have that faction slotted.

For example; you did something really great that helps the wayfinders out. Even though you do not belong to their faction, you gain 1 reputation with them as well as the 2 fame and 2 reputation with the Acquisitive faction.

A common mistake people make is that you do not have to purchase you first champion boon. You get your first champion boon for free and have to pay additional if you want a second faction champion boon.

Got it. So, 2 Fame, and 2 Rep with Acquisitives.

Shiktal is fresh and has no rep/fame.

Ears is also fresh. No pre-exisiting fame or rep.

Thanks for the explanation b'c the one other time I played at the launch, it wasn't clear to the GM (or anyone else) how it worked. So Gwin has 2 Fame and 2 Rep with Wayfinders.

Yeah, I definitely appreciated the explanation as well. Those mechanics were not at all clear to me, but at least I wasn't the only one who didn't get it.

Just a heads up that staring tomorrow (Tuesday) I’ll be traveling for Thanksgiving and back on Saturday. I should have my computer and internet access, but you never know with family how much free time I’ll have, so just fair warning that my posting will be more sporadic and feel free to bot as needed.

Same thing for me!

I am pretty sure we should wrap up in the next few post. As long as you all can hit the guy.

If you have not done so above, please roll you downtime/day job rolls.

Dayjob: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

What if we hit him, but roll terribly low damage? If this goes another turn I'll supercharge Gwin's rifle.

Well that shot looks like a kill steal if I have ever seen one.

I hope so. Just in case, I still posted supercharging Gwin's rifle.

Shiktal's preference is to take Talbot alive.

Agreed. You can ignore Gwin’s Supercharged shot.

As for Jim - you seemed a little uncertain on the dying rules, so just fyi - once you have stablized (by spending 1/4 of your RP), on the next round you can spend 1 RP to become conscious again at 1 HP.

Looks like the consensus is to turn Talbot over to AbadarCorp?

Congratulations on a successful mission.

Chronicles

This was a fun and smooth table to run for so I am offering this to you all. I'll be running 1-03: Yesteryears Truth. Trying to start on Monday. If you would like to continue on with me with you character, respond below and I'll save you a spot.

Shiktal would gladly play with the group again. I'm in for 1-03.

That sounds like something Hish would be down for. I'm in! Really enjoying the SFS scenarios so far.

I need to find a more Shirren pic now that there are some on the site.

I'm up for it as well. What are the featured faction(s) for it?

It's a Wayfinders mission, with some Starship combat as well.

Shiktal could serve as Engineer or Science Officer.
