Here's the ctrl+P for all my games:
1. I've been running games since the late 1980s, I've seen a lot of editions. I started playing PFS with Slot 1 Season 0 at Gen Con. I'm solid with the Starfinder rules, but everyone makes mistakes. I'll try to be as fair as possible.
2. I'm a Venture-Lieutenant in Southern NH. If you're ever in the area, or you need help finding games/conventions there. PM me.
3. I post with a high rate of frequency. That being said, if you guys can post 2-3 times per day, awesome. If it's only 1/day I understand. No worries. Real Life Comes First (tm). I'm much more lenient on weekends.
4. Feel free to preemptively roll Perception, Disable Device, etc. It makes the game run more efficiently. I ask only that you make sure minis are placed in their actual position in case your choices have consequences (good or bad.)
5. Let's get started:Player Name:
PC Name:
PFS#:
Faction:
Day Job: Feel free to roll now.
Perception and vision/senses: Initiative:
Notes: Anything I should know; passive abilities, boons that are way out there, etc. If you have abilities that are immediate actions that interrupt an enemy, I'll be as fair as possible, but you can help me out by telling me under what conditions you typically use it.
Slotted Boons: You may want to wait and do this in a separate post, as you can slot boons after getting the mission briefing.
----------------------------------------------
Some expectations in my games:
That's about it! Looking forward to the game!

Player Name: Jones228
PC Name: Kat5e
PFS#: 2362267-701
Faction: Aquisitives
Day Job:
Perception and vision/senses: Android Darkvision, +9 Perception.
Initiative: +5
Notes:
Starship roles; Kat has +10 Computers, +9 Engineering, and +7 in Gunnery (+4 ranks in Piloting, +3 Dex mod) and Piloting +10. I've never piloted before, hopefully someone else is up to it!
I work a 24 hour shift, but I will still try to get at least one post in on those days. I have hidden them in the tags below, so if you're waiting on a post from me on one of these days, expect it later in the afternoon.
I am just going to head-canon this as a mop up mission after the fact to continue learning about the scoured stars. Denial is a powerful tool!

Question about the Basic Purchasing Plan for anyone that knows. Can I purchase it again and again for a scenario until I run out of fame?
Example: Chief mate I miss the Athletics by 4. So I buy The basic purchasing plan to increase my athletics skill check by 4.
Round 2, same thing happens, so I purchase it again for another 1 fame.
Round 3 of starship combat, I miss it by 4 or less again, so I purchase again for another 1 fame.
Also, I'm thinking this has to be done before I see the result, not after.
Player characters can’t spend Fame during combat though, so while you can buy the Basic Purchasing Plan repeatedly, you can't use it then.
I think siply fluff. I apologize for not formatting it better.

Z Data Z votes for the Pegasus, cause we need to get behind them at all costs.
Z Data Z has three possible Starship boons he can slot. Into the Unknown Starship boon which recharges our ship when we hit zero hit points.
The Aquisitives one which gives our Starship extra ammo.
The SS-JA Analytical Tracking one.
I'll see what other Starship boons people have, we need to use as many as possible. If nobody else has the Into the Unknown boon, I definitely have to use that, cause that is the best one.
Z Data Z is :
+6 as a gunner (probably not the best gunner, edit okay I'm tied with +6). The min-maxers can reach +9 in the low tier +4bab and +5Dex with buying that upgrade. Or someone was a level 6 soldier and we were still lower tier, they could have +6bab and +5 Dex. So best Gunner is 6 out of max 9, or 6 out of max 11, we screwed. No, I don't know exactly how hard it is, I just remember getting our butt kicked cause we had to roll really high just to hit the thing, but that was high tier.
+13 as a chief mate (and hopefully we don't have to make an emergency landing cause he will have his armor unequipped to get the +13),
+11 as a magic officer, and
+15 computers as a science officer.
Any other votes on the ship?
Still need a Science Officer

Data will be science officer then and slot this boon
Hero of the Stars (Starship Boon; Limited Use): You defeated the dreaded Besmaran pirate ship, Lawblight, showcasing
your determination during an intense starship combat. This boon activates anytime your starship is reduced to 0 or fewer
Hull Points. Your starship immediately regains a number of Hull Points equal to its tier × 5. A starship can never regain
more than 30 Hull Points in this manner. A starship can never have more than one of these boons attached to it. When this
boon activates, cross it of your Chronicle sheet.
Kat5e = Level 6
Mustachio = Level 4
Ohmarc = Level 3
Rahdokama = Level 4
Z Data Z = Level 6
Total levels 23 / 5 PCs = 4.6.
4.6 rounds to 5
Subtier 5-6 with 5 player adjustments
Good catch! That's why I like posting the math.
Kat5e = Level 4
Mustachio = Level 4
Ohmarc = Level 3
Rahdokama = Level 4
Z Data Z = Level 6
Total levels 21 / 5 PCs = 4.2.
4.2 rounds to 4
Subtier 3-4 with 5 player adjustments
Sorry for the slow down. Work stuff. Will be back in force tomorrow.
Thank you for that, and I agree, let's do that. Level after this combat.
I don't think your wrong Mustachio. I don't want to give anything away though as I don't know how much you know of the Starfinder plot for Season 1. After the fight I'll spoiler some information.
Page 242 says you are your own ally!
No apologies. I have never encountered an online presence with as many issues as paizo. Clearing cache/cookies should do it. I'll be posting once I get caught up on work today.
Sorry, real life is kicking my butt right now. (Short version is that I'm a school teacher and my grades are due on Tuesday, but I'm also helping out after a teacher cracked under the pressure of COVID teaching. I'll be taking breaks over the next couple of days to post games, but I might be slower.)
My thought process is this:
1. Inspiring Boost is Mind-Affecting.
2. Androids
For effects targeting creatures by type, androids count as both constructs and humanoids (whichever type allows an ability to affect them for abilities that affect only one type, and whichever is worse for abilities that affect both types).
3. Which I take to mean immunity to Mind-Affecting applies.
I had never thought of it until my own Envoy tried to use it on an android and the android player told me it wouldn't work.

Another consideration; Under construct type in the android build, androids gain a +2 racial bonus to mind affecting effects. Which to me reads like they are resistant to mind affecting conditions, but not necessarily immune.
Not knowing spells and improvisations that well, does inspiring boost target a specific creature type? I always read the quoted rules above as as more of a negative of the android class, like "If the spell targets either of these types, it hits you, and has the worst result"
It's an interesting topic though, one that I haven't come across yet in ten or so games with this android character. Good to know for me going forward incase it comes up again.
Excellent point. I started poking around and that seems to be the consensus, the +2 means they're not immune.
We are entering the denouement. Make sure your information is in there, including any Day Jobs!
