Hey sorry, I goofed and double-booked Xenal. Uli here should be level 3 by the end of the night though, so hopefully he'll be a suitable replacement :-)
GM Aerondor |
No worries, I'll put out another call for extras in the lodge tomorrow as we need at least three of you plus an NPC to make the table valid.
GM Aerondor |
I certainly am. Join in.
If you could all put your details in here, and let me know which pregen you would like to accompany you if I can't get a forth player that would be great.
Dr. Creed Morvius |
Hello everyone! I'm hoping you might have room for one more!
I'm a bit of a novice at PBP, but I have played one other game. I have a few characters I could use here, depending on tier and how I could complement everyone else.
By the way, "Dr. Morvius" is 3rd level now, I can take some time to update him tomorrow evening.
GM Aerondor |
That would be great. If everyone can put their details in here, I'll kick off in gameplay tomorrow.
Have a look at the top post for what I want from everyone.
Dr. Creed Morvius |
I will update my character and post all of your requested information this evening. I'll be ready to go tomorrow.
I'll probably stick with Dr. Morvius, a level 3 Envoy with some healing skills.
Bubbles Beeshee |
Alright... looks like we have a Level 4 soldier, a level 3 operative, a level 3 envoy, and a level 4 pregen.
I will be bringing my level 3 mystic that I will update and post about tonight!
GM Aerondor |
Pregen is fine if we have space. Though SF with five characters can be a little tough as there is no adjustment. I'll get us started in gameplay when character information appears in here.
GM Aerondor |
Nope, I've seen successful groups with five, but it is just a little harder that is all. Jump in, more the merrier in general.

My understanding is you can spend as you like for the pregen. That doesn't count against your real character.
Shohiraj . |
Ah, the paragraph I was thinking of is under 'resolve conditions'. I guess it only applies when curing conditions the pregen picked up during the scenario.
Put me down for 2 suits of formal wear. Black tie is not cocktail wear. Armor sounds liek safari chic.
Bubbles Beeshee |
Have a great weekend!
This is a good time to mention that I will be out of the country for June 22nd-June 29th. (I'm a bad person and am realizing now that I really should have mentioned this when I was mustering in.) I will try to log on and keep up, but will probably need a bot or two. Thankfully, Bubbles isn't super critical in these social situations. I'll be sure to add some good notes to his profile, but also feel free to put me on delay.

Forgot to say continuing to attune photon. I don't think it will matter much, the pregen doesn't have the nova option.
I don't think that's true. Quoted from the rulebook; You learn your first stellar revelations (black hole and supernova) at 1st level, and learn an additional revelation at 2nd level and every 2 levels thereafter.
Every solarion should have supernova and as far as I know the pregen has it as well. You might be our best bet at damaging a swarm with a 4d6 area attack ;)therealthom |
Least graviton crystal. It's on the pdf. Now I remember looking it up when I went through the character after selecting Solarion. My memory is getting spotty.
Thanks again, Revvy. You are a fountain of knowledge.
And my apologies to everyone for not knowing the character as well as I could.
GM Aerondor |
Yes. At first level you automatically learn both of them. Looks like an error on the pregen.

Charisma poison track:
Weakened
The victim takes a –2 penalty to Charisma-based ability checks
and skill checks, and the DCs of her spells and special abilities
decrease by 2. If she has 1 or more levels in a spellcasting class
whose key ability score is Charisma, she can’t cast her highest
level of spells from that class.
Impaired
The victim takes an additional –2 penalty to the affected checks
and DCs. If she has 1 or more levels in a spellcasting class whose
key ability score is Charisma, she can’t cast her 2 highest levels
of spells from that class.
Pliable
The victim has little sense of self and goes along with nearly
any order or suggestion. Creatures attempting Bluff, Diplomacy,
or Intimidate checks against her automatically succeed, though
Diplomacy checks to improve her attitude still have the normal DC.
Solarian class rules: If a stellar revelation allows a saving throw to resist its effects, the DC is equal to 10 + half your solarian level + your Charisma modifier.
Nauseated
You are experiencing stomach distress. You can’t attack, cast spells,
concentrate on spells, or do anything else requiring attention. The
only action you can take is a single move action per turn.
Man I hope I save.

Shohiraj wishes he hadn't left his grenades in the hotel room.
Guys, I think my only play is to walk into the swarm and nova. I'd like to wait until we've tried other options though.
Did you actually leave them in the hotel room? Or do you mean that the pregen doesn't have grenades? Because he does;
Combat Gear mk 1 serums of healing (2), frag grenades I (2), medpatch;
GM Aerondor |
I ran into a similar issue when I played this. Purchased second skin armor and only had a hand gun and a tactical baton that could fit in a purse..
therealthom |
Aerondor, and everyone, lots to talk about. Most importantly, when we started I didn't look far enough into the future. July 4th I start vacation and may possibly be out of communication for nearly two weeks.
I like the game and personally would like to continue in the hope that I'll have internet access occasionally. In which case I will be sure to leave botting instructions.
Or, this is a very good point at which to write Sho out. You can give me a 'did not finsh' Chronicle or none at all, and adjust the rest of the game for 4 players. I'll leave it up to you. And offer my apologies for not being more fore-sighted.
If I may continue, in my mind, Sho left his gear 'in the hotel' and came to the party in a dinner jacket with a healing serum and his mote. Now the jacket is being held hostage by Ipsoth. I am perfectly happy to continue under those conditions, but would be more perfectly happy if we could retcon it so that Sho's gear was in the tent. Again totally your decision with no ill-will either way.
GM Aerondor |
Well, we'll do what we can to shoot things through over the next week. No promises, and no need for a DNC chronicle. You are half way through now. At the current rate, it is probably just the final encounter that you will be on holiday for. At that stage I can run the last encounter with four player if necessary.
therealthom |
Great! I am liking the game and the party. Thanks.
So what about Sho's gear? 'At the hotel' or in the tent? Like I said, I'm happy either way. It will be a great story if he gets through without armor. But he'll obviously be more of a help to the party with it.
GM Aerondor |
It's only my second as a GM, heck SF is still pretty new to me. Don't worry about mistakes. They are part of the learning process.

Attune photon.
Options in order of consideration:
Attune photon.
1. If fully attuned and can get to a target rich square without hurting allies, Supernova (Su):
When Altronus is fully attuned to photon mode, as a standard action he can deal 5d6 fire damage to all creatures within 10 feet of him (Reflex DC 13 half). After using this power, Altronus becomes unattuned.
2. Get to melee. Try to close if possible. (I've left the leading brackets off to hit and damage rolls.) If attuned, use plasma sheath to deal fire damage. (Still attacks KAC, already included in stats below.)
dice= solar weapon v KAC ] 1d20+7 [/dice] … dice= damage]1d6+1d3+6 [/dice] S; critical knockdown)
3. Ranged fire is a last resort.
dice= tactical semi-auto pistol v KAC] 1d20 +5 [/dice] … dice= damage] 1d6+2 [/dice] P; analog)
4. Grenades, also a last resort.
dice= frag grenade I] 1d20+2 [/dice] … dice= damage] 1d6 [/dice] (explode [15 ft., 1d6 P, DC 7])
Offensive Abilities black hole, plasma sheath, solar
manifestation (solar weapon), supernova
Will post as I'm able, but definitely don't hold things up for me.
GM Aerondor |
Okay, chronicles have been uploaded. Please check them and let me know any corrections.
Rocket, you didn't give me opening credits to put on yours.
Sol, I'm not sure if you are going to hold onto that sheet until level 4, so I've just marked it up as playing a pregen, up to you to use it in a valid manner.
Thank you all for playing.
The last combat was pretty quick. When I played it, it ran pretty quickly too. So much so that I thought they were playing possum and there was about to be another surprise sprung on us.
