I guess we should also be discussing starship roles? Poppilo is most suitable for captain. Otherwise, he can be a bad gunner.
Captain: +4 Bluff / +4 Diplomacy / +0 Intimidate
Engineer: +3 Engineering
Gunner: +5 Gunnery
Piloting: +2 Piloting
Science Officer: +3 Computers
Like mystics, Wis-based biohackers are... not great at starship combat. Vlodkoya is, at least, trained in a few roles, so he can either be a decent gunner or fill Engineer/Science Officer if the role is vacant.
Basalt would be best suited for piloting (+9) or gunnery (+6). He also has Diplomacy (+1)!
Sorry for the delay in posting everybody. Holiday season and whatnot. Once everyone has slotted their boons and decided on their roles for Starship combat, we can progress to the next section of the adventure.
.
I am as of right now unable to look at people's character sheets, so the following is based off of the provided information in previous posts. Currently, the following people would be the best for each role:
Captain: Poppilo Moraeme +11/12
Science Officer: Pangea-Kappa +6
Engineer: Fixit +?
Pilot: Basalt +9
Gunners: Donovan +5, Vlodkoya +3
If any of these numbers are incorrect then just say so.
Vlodkoya's Gunnery modifier is +5, not +3. But yes, it looks like his best fit is gunner in this crew.
Apologies, Vlodkoya. It appears to be mainly a copy-paste error on my part.
Fixit, I still require the following information from you
Player Name:Character Name:
SFS Number:
Starting XP:
Faction:
Initial Fame:
Starting Credits:
Additionally, if either Fixit or Donovan wish to slot any boons for this adventure, I would advise you to post them sometime within the following week. After this point, I will assume the only boon you have slotted for this adventure will be the faction champion boon for you primary faction.
I have posted a sheet with the statistics for The Pegasus and a starship combat map. I will be starting up the next section of the adventure soon, and we can progress from there.

Sorry to hear that, Dax. If it makes things easier for you, I can bot Donovan through the starship combat encounter. One less thing for you to worry about.
You have my condolences as well. I have lost someone close before, and know how hard it can be. Don't feel that you need to post during this time, you free to take as long as you need.
Don't worry about us, that comes first by a long shot.

@Poppilo Moraeme
Not so much the effect of doubling chances of crit, but being able to consistently determine which systems get critical damage everytime they cross the Critical Threshold.
What do you mean?
Because I did not think Target System had anything to do with CTs.The CRB states that The next attack made by your starship that hits the enemy ship scores a critical hit on a natural roll of 19 or 20.
Okay.
If that attack deals critical damage, it affects the chosen system.
If you get through the SPs.
But then:
For any further critical damage resulting from the attack, determine which system is affected randomly as normal.
Which means that any CT that is passed is rolled as usual (or not?). I mean, what "further critical damage" can result but passing the CT.
Or has there been another FAQ?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
If you deal enough damage to pass a critical threshold, you "deal critical damage", regardless of whether you rolled a critical hit or not. If, for example, the gunners surpass a CT without rolling a 19-20, that critical is determined by the target action, as per the second line you quoted. If you get lucky and cause multiple criticals in a single round (by either rolling a 19-20 and passing a CT or dealing enough damage to surpass multiple CTs), only one of the critical conditions is dictated by the Target action, as per the third quoted line.

Yah, what he said. :)
Parsing the sentences, the 2nd line's "If that attack deals critical damage..." is referring to the previous line's "The next attack ... that hits the enemy ship ...".
Logically, it could not have been referring to the next attack that rolls a 19-20, because that would definitely have done critical damage, so it makes no sense to qualify with "If that attack deals critical damage..."
We are most of the way through the scenario, and should be able to finish by the time Outpost starts. I will try to hurry things up a bit, so that you can have Fixit available by then.
No worries! If necessary, I will make use of your botting instructions as needed. It probably won't be much of an issue though.
As for the short rest, anyone who woshes to take one can do so now.
Anybody whose characters have day jobs, could you roll those now. If you are using your day job for another purpose (such as Fixit using for True Saviour of Tasch), mention that instead.

Donovan also has True Savior of Tasch slotted.
I remember the rules being different for Starfinder regarding Day Jobs. I don't remember if that meant pregens could roll them if they had one, or you could if the character you were applying credit to did. If the latter is the case, here goes.
Here are you chronicle sheets everyone.
Thank you all for playing! Let me know if you find any issues with your chronicle sheets.
Everything looks good here. Thanks again for the game!
