GM Woran's Starfinder: Dead Suns AP

Game Master Woran

You were pretty persistant after antonious got hit by the trap

True I suppose

Also, I really cannot wait for second level, I'm definitely picking up Dark Matter as soon as I can to make all the tanking I'm going to be doing easier. If that doesn't make things easier, I'll probably do a bit of a rebuild at higher levels and swap Longarm Proficiency for Weapon Focus Small Arms, pick up a Handcannon and a Tactical Shield.

My damage will take a modest hit since I don't think a Tactical Shield counts as a free hand for the Free Hand property of the Handcannon so Double Tap isn't an option. Range will be a bigger hit though. Blade in the Dark will help with that and the damage dice of Handcannons is roughly equal to Long Arms.

I've always allowed a free rebuild in my campaigns once people hit lvl 2. There are so many things that can happen. Things not working out. Party composition changing.

I just want to get to level 2... and eventually be able to cash in some of this stuff we've got and buy better gear.

Feels like it will be a long while until we get anywhere nearing effective.

Level 1 is pretty rough in Starfinder. I've done a lot of Society play with newbies and having a level 2 character at a table of level 1s can mean the difference between success and a TPK. The big things are that you finally stop feeling like cardboard and you get access to your first really mechanically unique ability.

It helps when you can play Obozaya and can say with a russian accent:

"Obozaya casts 'punch'!"

Also the sheer hate of the diceroller.
The amount of nat 1s you guys have gotten...

My hatred for these things is now deep and abiding.

Wait! We're approaching this all wrong! They"re space kitties so we use a laser pistol like a laser pointer to lead it out the airlock and then just seal the hatch!

Looks like Ras should have included a flanking bonus on that last attack since the other goblin moved.

I did, my attacks are typically at a +4

Ah ok. Just making sure.

So we've fully cleared the ship now?

I think so? Unless there is a sooperdooper sekret smuggler hold somewhere we have missed.

EDIT: I think we should also be level 2 now.

Level 2 would be real nice although my spells per day, sadly, remain the same.

Yes. You're now level 2

Wooo!

Alright, between Dark Matter and the additional Stamina/Hit points, Raz is now going to be considerably more durable

I've got Raz updated for level 2.

For now, I'm going to snag that Tactical Arc Emitter on the off-chance there is something vulnerable to electricity.

We also have a total of 800 UPBs to craft with if someone has a piece of equipment they need.

After several timeouts editing his sheet, Antonius is leveled up!

Jaru is tentatively leveled up. When I built the character I specialized in piloting, however, since that time we skipped the only space combat(which I am totally fine with!) and GM Woran has mentioned that a level 2 rebuild is allowed. I am wondering if I should re-allocate the resources I put into Piloting. Will we be skipping every Space Combat(again I am totally fine with this) and if so does the system make use of the Piloting skill often enough outside of Starship combat to make it worth keeping the investment. Currently, my theme, feat, and one skill point per level are all geared towards Piloting.

There are a few fun space battles, but they all happen in the last two books. Up till then they are all of the 'we need to put a space combat in becasue we have to' variety.

Ok, I switched out the Feat and am updated to level 2.

I vote we do at least one before the actually interesting and story relevant ones come up so we've got a little practice.

Antonius is actually pretty good starship combat, as he can fulfill almost every role.

I agree that we should do a “practice” battle at some point

Yeah prolly should. Get ready for Captain Stoned Lightning

Oh dear

I'm leaving for this larp on wednesday.

I'll be back on sunday. But I dont expect to be able to post untill monday at the earliest.

Looks fun! I have a con this weekend running Friday through Monday. I'll try and check in, but probably won't be able to post until Monday evening.

I also have a con this weekend, which is Fri-Sun

How are we doing gang?

Ready to get back into it and explore that rock!

Me too!

Let's hit it and quit it!

The LARP was amazing but I got back with a bad flu and only now have the brainspace to type words into what resembles a sentence.

Also holy macarony do you forget how awefull the flu is untill you get it again.

That's why I've finally started to overcome my fear of needles for the yearly vaccine. Getting jabbed in the shoulder is better than wanting to die for several days.

Sorry to hear about your flu. Con crud(and apparently LARP Crud) is real. I think I barely escaped a similar fate. I felt incredibly worn down and on the edge of getting sick but managed to stave it off.

Coughing up lots of slime at the moment! Yummie!

Boo-urns! I wanted the goblin to wear the trash can like armor and believe he was Trashlor reincarnate. Oh well.

Do I retain my fly speed inside the drift rock? The wording says I have a 20 ft. fly speed while in space. It sounds like we're headed into the interior of the rock so I wouldn't be surrounded by the void of space but if there's no atmosphere or gravity it might still count.

Yah, you can still fly, as you're still exposed to the vacuum of space.

Raz is going first, he's not about to allow sentient creatures to be used as trap detectors when he is the party tank.

Not a problem!

If you say so...

Hey, Blixa, better him than us!

;)

What kind of damage?

Piercing damage.

Are you factoring the DR into the rolls?

Let me re-count. It should be DR1/- right?

Yes

And not to be picky, but she should not be getting her trick attack damage with a sniper rifle
