Hi-C waves all 4 hands at Handsome Gob ^_^

Handsome Gob drools and licks his lips at Hi-C!!!

Hey guys. Since we've already got an envoy in the party, I'm considering switching out to a recently leveled up soldier instead of bringing Arratoi.

The soldier is a level 5 Dex melee build, so not very hard-hitting, but he's intended to be somewhat tanky-ish.

Any thoughts or preferences?

I'm kind of assuming that there will be a bit of social interaction in this, so having multiple face characters may be helpful.

Kultanien is next to useless in a fight..

Lily is very social, and has the highest AC I've seen here (plus more stamina and hp from being out of tier). With +4d8 trick attack, she can also deal damage.

So I'd say play who you want.

How are we on Computers and Engineering? Lily doesn't have any of those Int-based skills, but she can Slot an Ally Boon for +16.

Sunshine has Computers and Engineering out the wazoo.

Sweet. She's better when she parties with Yetis ^_^

Check out Bluu for 24/27 AC.

Kultanien has a friendly assistant who helps out with the sciences (life/physcial and mysticism). I'll introduce her in gameplay.

I've sent messages to our final two players. Hopefully we will hear from them today.

Whoa! The old comm unit must've been on the fritz and I missed the initial call! Glad to be aboard!

Player name: GM Mjolbeard
Character name: Faraeon Star-Jumper
Character class/level: Operative 5
Organized play #-#: 177216-701
Faction: Wayfinders
Day job: Profession (video personality), Budding Media Celebrity boon: 1d20 + 18 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 18 + 5 = 39

Just to jump in on the ongoing conversations: Faraeon isn't that great a "face", though he can be tricky with +13 Bluff or tough with +9 Intimidate. I can also help out Sunshine on Computers (+7) and Engineering (+10) checks, because operative.

Damage-wise, Faraeon won't be quite up to Lily's standard, being 3 levels behind her on trick attack damage, but he'll definitely be able to throw some flat-footed or off-target conditions on there to help even the playing field some.

Apologies. I had forgotten about submitting for this. I will endeavor to be ready and in by later tonight.

PLAYER: Saashaa
CHARACTER: Spy
CLASS/LVL: Operative (Spy) 7
SFS ID#: 78886-708

Day Job Profession (soldier): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Oh wow! We've got THREE operatives?! Our enemies are going to have the flattest of feet after we're done with 'em!

And two Envoys. Balanced group. Luckily the Technomancer should help out!

How are we balanced for damage types? I have a basic azimuth laser, which needs updating. What type of damage do folk do?

I've been rocking a static arc pistol since forever, but just picked up an advanced semi-auto pistol for the improved damage. I also grabbed explosive rounds for the pistol, so that will throw in some fire damage if it's helpful.

I keep forgetting to grab those!

Lily has Piercing, Bludgeoning, Electricity, Plasma and Sonic.

Lily's Debilitating Trick is Hampering Shot.

Arratoi doesn't have much by way of weaponry. A static arc pistol and a hand cannon for electric and piercing.

Maybe I should get a frostbite pistol then, add cold into the mix. Might upgrade the old azimuth to a corona too. Neither are really significant upgrades on what I have though.

Armourwise I hope not to get into a fight, but guess a thermal capacitor might come in handy. Given I'm only just outlevelling the basic lashunta tempweave, and it fits her character, I think I'll leave the basic armor alone, and hope I don't regret that.

They said something about radiation in that briefing didn't they, so maybe a radiation buffer also.

Thermal Capacitor: 3,600
Radiation buffer 200
Corona pistol (4270 less 175 tradein) for 4095 net
Frostbite class zero pistol 3060

Sunshine has lots of plasma, looking into picking up some new longarms in the near future to diversify damage types. Also plenty of spells, and can fabricate arms for whatever damage we might need.

Before the group departs Lily will purchase a broad-spectrum scanning kit for 200 credits.

Anticipated boons slotted:

Ally: Friends in High Places (shobhad mercenary; Elite Hireling, +12 Athletics, Sense Motive, or Survival)
Faction: Wayfinders Champion
Personal: Alien Archive Admittance (Tier 2)
Promotional: Promotional Reroll (V-L polo shirt)
Social: Distinguished Ambassador (box #2, mk 2 ring of resistance)
Starship: In-the-Vehicle Training

All good. There are no recommended boons for this adventure.

Faraeon Boons Slotted

Ally: Dream Whispers
Faction: Wayfinders Champion, Improved
Personal: Scoured Stars Survivor
Social: Budding Media Celebrity
Starship: Defender of the Fleet (Finest Computers)

Ally Professional Hireling (Jopsie)
Faction: Improved Champion Wayfinder
Promotional: T-shirt (reroll)
Social: Contractors respect- will borrow a Ysoki refracor suit.
Starship Presumably not required?
And a host of slotless ones (see character profile)

No boons for me

Just a quick heads up - Pax Unplugged starts today, and I will be there playing and GMing Starfinder through Sunday. I will try and get a post up while there, but I wouldn't count on it. Sorry for the delay in play!

Thanks for the heads up! Enjoy yourself and go see the Glass Cannon folks play if you can so I can live vicariously through you!

Just got home after a 13 hour workday and feeling pretty beat. So I'll look to throw a post up tomorrow and join in on the ship-board antics as well as get my boons sorted. Apologies for my delay as well!!

I've never played Freen with any streamers before, so it is an interesting character development.

Boons:
Ally: Dream Whispers (1-16)
Faction: Dataphiles
Personal: Scoured Stars Survivor (1-99)
Promotional: T-shirt
Social: AbadarCorp Augmentations (1-10)

Oh dang, Lily! I hadn't even thought of bracketing a melee weapon to my pistol(s)! Looks like I know what I'll be buying after this scenario!

It's honestly somewhat silly, LOL.

AND she has a laser scope on top of her pistol. It weighs like 3L now!

Sunshine has the bracket too. Super helpful, four stars, would recommend.

By the way if anyone wants a full attack and move, sing out and Kultanien will tell you to Hurry Up - as her own damage output is not the best. Likely with operatives that won't be that helpful if you are trick attacking, but Sunshine might find it helpful for getting into position.

Thanks for the option. Sunshine isn't a soldier and normally doesn't full attack for fear of losing attack bonus, but if the situation calls for it then I'm happy we have the choice.

It's not been as helpful as I was hoping it would be when I picked it to be honest. I'm sure at some stage though it will be totally useful.

I just realised I was doing two standards this round, so edited. Which is probably a good thing, as it means Lily doesn't get healed this round, but stands to be healed a little more next time if she takes further damage.

Although with two envoys, that is two inspiring boosts for each of you between rests, so unless someone takes massive damage, we should be pretty good.

Sorry all, PC died and I'm needing to rebuild it or get a new one. And I'll be off on holiday from late next week until mid/late Jan. I may be able to hide laptop, but my posting will be infrequent at best.
Bot early and bot often.

Immediately thought of Arratoi when I saw THIS ^_^

Ha!

Ha! Nice!

Reminder - I am off on holiday. My ability to post will be limited to non existent. Please bot me early. Kultanien generally stays out of combat if she can, encouraging others and healing wounds.

The ring of resistance will boost your Fort save Faraeon. It boosts your lowest base save.

Dang. Forgot that part. Thanks for clearing that up, Freen and Lily!
