Rilynn, how do you have +0 Initiative when you have a Dexterity of 12?

I'm just really unlucky? ;P Thanks for the catch. This character is rubbish in combat, but that will help.

GM, the other thing I am frequently guilty of is clicking Submit Post without updating my Post As. Details... I apologize already for cluttering up your Character page.

I think the STR should be 1 higher (at the cost of another stat) as well: the 10-point but only allows adding stats.

The RAW do not explicitly state that. I suppose a case could be made in Step 4 that is the implication of what is written, but I never read it that way until you brought it up, probably because every other system ever created allows for it.

It does say this on page 18: "These rules allow you to customize your abilities to build exactly the character you want."

It does, however, state that you gain nothing for reducing a statistic below its value after species penalties (if any).

Alright, please be extra helpful and help me find that in the book.

EDIT: Ahh, ok, I found it in the Optional Rule: Character Flaws. I have to say, that's the dumbest optional rule of all time.

Alright, done. Back to +0 Init.

*Nods empathically*

I only figured that one out because my program wouldn't allow me to reduce stats...

Back to +0 init, but at least you can smack people now.

GM Gustavef: any chance you can open a gameplay thread, so we can dot in and have the campaign show up on my 'campaigns' tab?

Game play open. Still need a few more check-ins.

This is shaping up to be an unusual party.

GM G, I made a small error on my check-in info post, above: I only have one credit.

Day Job Roll, Agent: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Oops, not that it matters a whole helluvalot but Tech is a full Elf, not a half.

Hi GM Gustavef, i saw your post on Castamir's Flaxseed Station and decided to dip my feet! :) I hope there still is enough room!

I haven't used this character for PbP yet, so i will be working on putting her sheet up today.

If you've still got room, I'm considering spending a replay on it. Plus I heard it got modified after it came out.

What tier are you currently looking at?

We're all first or second level so far.

@phaeton_nz. jump on in, you will be the sixth. Put your checkin here and jump in the gameplay

Current Fame = 2. Current Credits = 284 - Been stocking up on spell gems

Can everyone make sure up date the information for their saves on Slide 2

GM, Rilynn has her Starfinder Society Care Package (slotless), Spellgem Cache Boon, which she did not use at all in her first adventure, and also the Second Seekers: Luwazi Elsebo Champion Faction Boon.

So, about those bonus items: the light armor is really good (+5/+5 with no AC penalty and +5 Dex max). I would take it, but it's better to let somebody who is not hanging the back wear it. Who are our front-liners in this group?

Rilynn is the worst fighter in any group she's in, and that includes this one with two mystics.

Zoey, Tik, and Tech are probably the front line, simply based on HP, so go ahead and grab the light armor for yourself. We're going to have to be smart and lucky when we get into combat. Seriously, our first combat encounter could be a TPK.

I'm built to be ranged, so it looks like T| might be our only frontline fighter.

If we're worried about it (and if it's not too late GM) I've got a level 1 solarion I can swap in who is melee focused.

If we're in a shooting contest we're gonna lose. One bruiser to go in and at least create some AOO and absorb a few hits would be helpful. Although a lvl 1 Solarion is a bad trade for HP with your Lvl 2 Tech. At least you can use the heavy armor.

It's really only a 3 HP swing, but I see what you're saying.

Personally I think playing with the hand you're dealt is part of the fun of organized play. I'm willing to give it a shot with whatever we have, I just wanted to put the option out there for anyone feeling worried.

Ummm yeah, i dont have any weapon on me, she just relies on spells to deal damage and control. :)

Tik would happily take the light armor.

Amy only uses her harmonic dirge pistol when she's out of spells ... and she stocked up on spell gems beforehand.

You know you're in trouble when a small girl non-ironically called 'strawberry' is your front-liner.

Visual reference

If there is still time, I can purchase a dueling sword and take the armor.

This looks like it might not have been the best day to have back-to-back-to-back meetings from 10-5.

So, i know i'm asking the tough questions but...who's shorter, Zoey or Tik

Haha, now FIGHT!

What do you mean? I'm one inch taller than Amy! Go team Shorty!

Love all the back-and-forth goofing off - these scenarios are really good for that

GM G, in PF akata had decent fire resistance. Do they have that in SF, and (now that it's a moot point) does it protect them against laser weapons?

It did have 5 fire. But this was a small one and there was much over kill

Of course it was a small one. They're like sheep...they get nasty and tough when they're older, and we don't have time to stew it.

BTW, does anyone else have the Survival skill?

You're the only one with ranks, but we all have it: mine is just +0.

Those of ETH and Amy are still pretty decent, though, from their high wisdom stats...

It's a good thing that Starfinder doesn't have the PF2 mechanic where really messing up an Aid Another roll penalizes the person making the main check. Tik is too short to pull off a Gordon Ramsay with two slices of bread.

What's that one? Ah - is that the one where he slams the bread on each side of someone's head? "What are you - An idiot sandwich"

Still Amy is sitting down ...

(( "You've used so much Thyme that the Doctor had to show up to save us all" ))

That's the one.

Edited after Rilynn post

We have a lot of loot that we haven't used so far:

two basic medpatches (+10 to specific medicine checks),
a brown nanite hypopen (gives lesser remove condition),
two commando serums (+2 to acro and athletics (!) and a temp HP),
a grappler ,
a mk 1 ring of resistance (+1 on worst save), and
100 feet of titanium alloy cable line
adamantine alloy survival knife ,
an autotarget rifle with 25 rounds ,
a brooch of shielding,
a brown force field armor upgrade, and
four mk 1 serums of healing

Since we need acro/athletics to maneuvre in Zero-G, why don't two of us down that commando serum (I've got +5/+5, so I'm not priority). We can use the rope to make a line in the waiting room, so we can always hold on to that one?

If we need a runner, Zoey has 40' of movement plus +5/+5 on acro/athletics checks. If we tie a rope around her waist, she just make it to the lone flag before running out of rope. We then just need some pulling to get her back. Some backup would be nice, though.

On the other hand, Tik is even better at acro stuff.

T| took the knife, and has another 50' of line.

T| it's easy to miss but this information is in the GM's last post

"Contestants are required to equip loaned copies of their weapons with merciful weapon fusions pre‑installed for the duration of the challenge or face disqualification"

I have another idea. Rilynn can cast Disguise Self to sow confusion or to make a late run at the enemy flag if we need it.

To that effect, I'd like to take one of the Commando serums, the Survival knife, and one dose of the mk 1 serum of Healing.

Reviewing the Team Moxie character slide... They have a stealth drone and another character that specializes in stealth. How do we deal with that?

GM, when we encountered the team earlier, what was the method of propulsion for Shonvyzam's stealth drone?

Sort of related: might we need to have a discussion about mass vs weight in zero-g as it relates to "bulk"?

Just to consolidate so everyone doesn't have to go back and reread all the posts:

Recap We have 3 Rounds to prepare.
The Doors are locked until then so we can't explore or prepare our positions - Do we have any abilities, traps we can set in the flag room during time? (I don't)

Proposed Plans:

• 3:T| and Zoey go for the Flag, Tech and Rilynn search for a way to sabotage, ETH and AMY provide support/flag defense

• 2:Sit in a defensive position because they can't win unless they capture both flags and take some of us out.

• 3:Late game dash to the enemy flag by Rilynn
  

Who has the lowest Acrobatics/Athletics? In my opinion they should get one of our combat serums or just play defense with the flag.

Can we use the grappler to grab the neutral flag from farther away?
