Pangea Mu has one of the purple sphere aeon stones (10 temporary HP).
Sheher will take another of the purple spheres.
Hmm. That brings up a question.
The Aeon Stone "functions as" the Purple Force Field Armor Upgrade (albeit offering 10hp instead of 5). You cannot have more than one of the Armor Upgrade active at the same time. I would be inclined to say you can't have more than one of the Aeon Stones active at the same time, either.
If you want both, it would just be a Standard Action to activate the second, anytime after the first had expired.
Interesting note I just discovered, lasers penetrate through force fields.
I would be inclined to say you can't have more than one of the Aeon Stones active at the same time, either.
In general, or two of the same?
Or do you mean in the Azlanti armors (vs. floating around our heads)?Because the CRB states: They do not count toward your worn magic item limit, and there’s no limit to the number you can have orbiting you.

Oh, sorry, I meant the Purple Spheres, specifically.
When Sheher mentioned "another", I thought she meant "a second one".
Since they recharge only every 24 hours, and it's only been maybe 8 since you acquired them (5 hours scanning system, 2 hours finding city, less than an hour in city), they won't help you in the next combat, but I'll try to keep track of when they turn back on for you.
EDIT: John didn't tell me he multiclassed as Ninja...
Sorry, Varnais. That was a lot of good rolls against just you.
I guess when the Playtest Survey asks you how many times you dropped into HP territory, you'll be able to check a box!
Cross post.
Yep you Ninja'd me by 29 seconds ^_^
nowhere does it say that the one who holds grapple can't do attack of opportunity
For what it's worth, I just finished reading all I could find about grabbing, grappling & pinning (for a situation in a game I'm GMing) and though I discovered a bunch of things, I saw nothing at all about not being able to take your reaction...
I came to the conclusion that it was done on purpose. The idea was to remove the concentration checks. Yes, you always can cast - but you'll always get punch in your face. Will the spell be disrupted? There is armor, there is a Combat Casting, and so on. Maybe not. At the 11 level you can take a feat, giving you option not to lose the spell for 1 RP after receiving damage.
By the way.
Normally, you can concentrate even in a distracting situation, but if you’re casting a spell and you take damage from either a successful attack that targeted your AC or from an effect that you failed a saving throw against, the spell fails.
From here I made a couple of new interesting conclusions for myself a couple of months ago. If I successfully make a saving throw from an effect giving such a throw (like a reflex from a grenade), then the spell doesn't disrupted even despite the damage. Effects that do not have an attack roll or do not give a saving throw cannot disrupt the spell (goodbye universal phrase "magic missile if it will cast!").
It all looks like quite a solid magic system (for me), just unusual. From this position, the strange situation with attack of opportunity, grapple and casting looks more logical too.
Two crits in the same Combat against the same opponent.
I think Hellknights in Starfinder have the "delicious" property.
Sick kid has me thrown for a loop. Will probably be able to post again Wednesday.
Field Dressing (Ex)
As a standard action, you can use your custom scanner to quickly render medical aid to an adjacent, willing creature. When you do, the target regains a number of Hit Points equal to your key ability score modifier. This number increases to 1d6 + your key ability score modifier at 4th level, and to 2d8 + your key ability score modifier at 8th level. If the target has taken no Hit Point damage, they instead regain 1d4 Stamina Points. This number increases to 1d6 Stamina Points at 4th level, and to 2d8 Stamina Points at 8th level. You must have your custom scanner in your possession to use this ability, and you can use it a number of times per day equal to your key ability score modifier.
Hope your kid gets better soon...

Hey guys. I want to take a moment and say this.
Sigmus is an ass at times. He has deadpool type tenancies and at times, i as a player forget that not everyone knows the full conversation i have with him in my head and therefore the context doesn't always come through from what is in my head.
Nothing i post IC is EVER personal. The reality is, i don't know any of you and therefore cannot form an opinion one way or the other about you. I Default to assuming that all of you are awesome people and so far, none of you have done anything at all to change that opinion. that means that if i type "Hey john, you're a dick!" it means that Sigmus is calling john a dick. Its not Will calling Luke a dick. it is an IC Reaction to IC stimulus and is in no way a reflection of Will's opinion of Luke.
I'm going to put this in bold so that it cannot be missed.
if at any time, you feel personally attacked, please reach out to me so we can talk about it. I guarantee its not what you think it is, or if it is, there is context that will help it make more sense. It will never ever be about you as a player.
I love you all, i'm loving the game, and i can't wait to see what happens in the museum of ancient DOOM!
I really like Sigmus. The "just checking its pulse" joke was great! ;)

I've been working some weird hours this week and will continue to be next week. I may only get one post in per day. I will do my best to keep up more than that.
"Hey scarecrow..."
Not to play mother hen here, but just wanted to use this as an example of language we should probably avoid.
Nicknames are fine as a term of endearment. I have a character who refers to the goblin in their party as "Gob". But when a nickname could be construed as demeaning, it's probably not appropriate for a group of colleagues.
"Scarecrow" has connotations and implications beyond being just a nickname. You likely wouldn't enjoy it if your coworker used it to describe you, so Starfinders probably wouldn't enjoy being referred to as one in this universe.
Apologies for not contributing more to RP. I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring out the entropy thing for Sheher's voice. She's super spacey is the best I can do out of combat.
Question to all: can you tell me what energy attacks you use mostly (and some you can use?), I imagein Sheher is acid, Varnais cold etc..
To keep in mind for future use of making enemies vulnerable to which energy.
Looks like:
Sigmus uses fire and kinetic
Sheher uses acid and kinetic
Varnais uses cold and kinetic
Pangea uses fire and kinetic
Zolvi uses kinetic
John uses kinetic
So quite a mixed bag. Whatever theorem lowers AC or DR would probably benefit the group the most.
2d6 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 8 + 2 = 14 damage
I'm building a Biohacker for my buddy's Against the Aeon Throne campaign. Probably because I'm inspired by watching three of them at work here ^_^. But I had a quick question: where is the +8 and +2 to damage coming from?
Sweet. Thanks!
I also want to focus on crafting poisons. Eventually. The bonus damage alone seems worth it. My GM wants to houserule an increase to the DCs of poisons I craft.
Why are none of you using poisons?
Not sure which poisons are allowed in SFS, but I remember that in the CRB the first poison you can deliver by a weapon is lvl 8 or so, and costs around 1500 Cr. a dose.
Meaning I'd have to be lvl 7 and rich.
So I never looked into any more.
Didn't think to look into it for this guy.
But even so, 1500 Cr./dose is expensive.
Only would use if we get to craft it with UPBs.
I almost took the entropic attunement that would have made Sheher's attacks gain the force attack type. Lesson learned.
Oh I definitely did for my Playtest Vanguard.
But your Entropic Strike is (Su), so it still gets half damage.

Everything in the Core Rulebook is legal in SFS, but a Tier 1 sedative is only 150cr, Level 1, and adds 1d4 Nonlethal to your attack. I realize that probably won't be your starting gear, but an extra 1d4 and the chance to capture your enemy alive is pretty useful.
Can't find the actual poisons on archivesofnethys right now and my CRB's at home. I thought there were cheaper, lower level poisons. I'll have to look again.

I've returned. My flight across half the world was somewhat heavier than I thought, and the 50 degree celsius difference demotivated more than expected. However, I'm here again. I'm gonna get some sleep, then read everything I missed and then get back in line. Thanks.
Welcome back!
I'm just waiting for more of a consensus on what the group wants to do. You can...
1) visit the House of Renewal
2) go back to Tzayl's and rest
3) wander the city for random encounters
4) skip half the book and *attempt* to break into the Foundry
5) other suggestion
Third.
Fine by me for being Renewed!

Hey the GM didn't roll those on attacks against us so it's all good!

Happy Birthday, Sigmus!

Consider it your birthday present! They just don't want the enemies eating you before you've had your cake!
