[SF] Fly Free or Die AP - GM Ewok

Game Master EwokBanshee

Were they expecting the pegasus or something? Even the tier 4 drake can reasonably sit 3 gunners that hit on a 4 5 or 6 and do ~72 points of damage: Enough to go through 10 points of shields the 55 hull in one shot.

Or the assumption that people wold stick with the captain gunner pilot engineer computer paradigm?

begin Operation bedhead.

Murderous imperial hobgo0blins? We'll just wing it.

Our Boss' fur is disheveled? You can bet there's a football play with a flow chart.

Yeah, I think part of it is that Starship combats don't scale up to 6 players quite as linearly as normal combats. I can add 50% more ships, but that doesn't match up perfectly with 50% more players since the players are much more proficient at their roles than the NPCs.

We could practically make a game guessing who Guess? will imitate next. This time, will it be..

A) an Absalom Station security guard racially profiling a tattooed Vesk?
B) an official from the Veskarium attempting to apprehend terrorists?
C) an avid VidTuber who makes everyone aware who these Vesk are?
D) or Agavana, casually ordering some noodles, luring them to attack us?

Congrats, y'all avoided their surprise round and negated their initiative bonus! Let's see if we have any accidental casualties here...

Tap tap taps a paw at Guess No, doing it on purpose does not avoid accidental casualties...

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Not that a 4 on the dice would hit anyways, but shouldn't your bonus be +8, instead of +4? BAB of +5 and Str of +3.

Yeah time to check hero-lab's work...

oof, it is the powered armor I think (still trying to figure out why though, because I thought the larger hands of the powered armor could deal with the medium weapons just fine).

Does hero lab know you're proficient with the armor?

powered armor proficiency is selected there, yeah.

Hmmmm. Does it think you are encumbered and carrying the armor?

also no, as equipped his bulk remains the same as before (but if he un-equips the powered armor, he suddenly has to account for the high bulk).

I'm at the point where it's time to log a bug.

I'm quite certain the software has it wrong, but it will be lower than out-of-suit because the suit has lower STR than Jaraduk.

Being forced to look deeper into this is giving me some ideas for the coming rebuild.

Oh, also he's supposed to be Large in it. Frankly though, I don't think he'd be walking the streets of Absalom station with it on. He'd have light armor that fits into it and probably have that on.

What no?!? If you got it, flaunt it! Well, okay that's probably more along the lines of what Guess? would do.

;-)

Unfortunately, as much as I love to hate HeroLab, it's these dice rolls right now that're killing us >.<

yes, there's that too :/

Mostly herolab does me right and saves me time (in case it seems like I'm being overly negative about it :D)

If the character would, that's up to you! But remember probably 5-10% of the folks wandering the streets in Absalom would be Large. Besides Large races, you have all the other folks in Heavy armor.

Walking through the local city late at night with a walking stick (plan B i keep in the car in case it breaks down. Which it did) On a bad year, this city will hit the per capita murder capitol of the US. But mom was in the hospital, and forgot her ipad. Which is a danger to the entire hospital staff.

Cops stop me
Cop 1 "Sir before we start do you have any weapons on you?"

"A multitool a pocket knife, but this is the wrong staff for headthwacking.

"Why are you carrying two knives and a stick?

" In this neighborhood? I'd say I'm horribly under dressed"

Cop 2 can't help but crack up.

Whoops. Misread the manufacturer label. There's three extra zeroes behind that wattage =|

What is it with vesk and getting critted in the face?

I really should take take em alive.. unfortunately i think improved get em is almost mandatory...

Waaay back in the day I had this Magic: the Gathering calendar, and my favorite art for one of the months was an albino Hurloon minotaur, stoically gazing out over a verdant valley.

With that art in mind, combined with them often using a didgeridoo, I've always imagined them sounding like Himalayan throat singers echoing long, low, rumbling dirges.

So a Nuar singing about doshkos seems rather appropriate ^_^

A line weapon is weird. It stops if it hits and does no damage. Like if I try to shoot a blue dragon and hit he just soaks up the electricity. If i miss the blue dragon the line tries to hit the red one.

However, if an attack fails to damage a creature or obstacle hit in the line (typically due to damage reduction or hardness), the path is stopped and the attack doesn’t damage creatures farther away.

Huh, I've been playing Line weapons wrong for years!! They don't come up too often when GMing.

Regarding the loot, Guess? is interested in:
- astute inferno knife
- 25% off augmentation. He'd spend it on upgrading his morphic skin to doppelganger as soon as he has enough funds - he's about 800 credits short with the discount

Anyone else want to roll off for either of these items?

I'm happy for your new relationship, Guess?

You and that knife are going to do great things ^_^

Although we really should grab Deminda's body, that way Guess? can assume her identity later with plausible deniability that she's still alive.

Genius! Let's do that! Guess? will examine her biometrics with the possible intent to later replicate.

Melissa Was grabbing some ice and suggesting grabbing the head. Without trying to think of the uses Guess could put it to.

Sounds fancy. I assume he just meant do "Weekend at Deminda's"

Prius license plate in front of me right now reads MYGUMBY

It's a sign, you have to steal the car.

"Oh because that worked SO WELL last time!!!!!"

I haven't been playing it up that well, but that is in fact a particular interest of Jaraduk.

I feel like this is the complaint of Nuars everywhere, Lol

Like my Nuar Technomancer is all about pre-Gap Golarion and believes it was like the IRL wild wild west but there's rarely time in a Society session for that to ever come out

Recent scenario tossed the starfinder into an impromptu talent show. My "I'm a dragon, expecting a growth spurt any decade now" dragonkin had a "totally historical recreation of life on ancient golarion" presentation where he had an exibition fight with the teams T2 Cyborg.

Knight vs. Dragon.

Well, this seems like as good a chance as any, however brief it turns out.

You know... these chronicle sheets would be a lot more useful if I actually gave them to you... Here ya go, hopefully your characters still want the credit! Sorry, I'm just the worst at filling out Sheets.

Mom norveg was part of the "cold" war between the pact and veskarium.

She was on one of the first planets to see the horrors of a swarm invasion.

Her blood STILL ran cold when when one of (or worse, both) of her younger children said "For science!"

Unless anyone else wants to roll for it, Guess? would like to use the 25% off the next augmentation card and purchase doppelganger morphic skin.

Anyone else interested in the augment discount card?

I am so excited to see what you can pull off with that ^_^

Nope, go for it!

Wildlife rehabers are used to seeing strange stuff.

At the park where I worked the garbage truck in front of us hit a goose and knocked it into the lake. Gets onthe radio "you see that?" "Yeah I'll get it..."

Stop, get out of the car and hem and haw a bit because it's the tail end of winter and there's still a bit of ice on the lake. But the goose obviously can't swim so.. Off comes the shirt, off come the boots and in i go. Swim out to the goose....

It gets enough energy to flap flap out to the middle of the lake where it flops. (video of lake. Not flopping goose)

Swim out PAST the goose. Chase it in a zig zag back to shore. Put my hand down to it. It bites me. Sees THAT isn't going to work, I just pick it up plop it next to me in the car and drive off.

We called ahead to the zoo, so we're not there long before the rehaber gets there with a dog crate. Completely non pulsed at the sasquatch soaking wet full of seaweed (lakeweed?) Holding a goose that's looking around like "Oh hey whats that..."

Still, I can see the poor guy that has to come get the electrovore, wrapped up in a loading blanket that's duct tapped around them, with salt water around the bottom of the blanket, jumper cables from the salt water to a battery degausing Pip so he can't zap us, and frozen peas on his head for the concussion.

Yeah, electrovore handlers would have their hands full! I've never met a goose that didn't bite... Just imagine the electrovore bite.

Alright! Time for that free rebuild*! Also please skim through the aquatic rules, since those will definitely come up on a water world.

***You're allowed to swap your current feats, spells, etc. out for things in this document.

Aquatic Adventure rules, equipment, feats, and spells!

Oh neat. I'm glad we kept those UPBs for the ship. Strek can use them to Aquafit everyone's weapons for his Downtime Activity.

We have 1600, and he'll need 663cr for his own weapons. Who else needs theirs retrofitted, and how many UBPs will you need?

Purchases:

200cr Thieves’ Tools
200cr Demolitionist’s Kit
200cr Linguist’s Kit
200cr Climbing Kit

Strek already has Gill Sheathes from his first job on Entha.

That leaves him with only 724 credits. If we end up using all of the UBPs (which I imagine we will) he can convert some of those credits to buying more UPBs.

I was going to purchase a Swimmer's Kit, and I found it funny it wasn't mentioned in the AP, but now I see that it takes up 2 hands (the other tool kits don't take up any), so it's probably only good for maybe... Del?

Apologies, work and family matters spiked up past couple days so I haven't been able to post. I'll look to catch up tomorrow!

On a quick side note, my initial idea about winning the cargo delivery job was having Guess? go in there impersonating Zo! declaring to those warehouse workers that the cargo needs to go to our crew for some reality TV show - idea being that the workers would be so starstruck, they'll agree to fake Zo!'s request.

200 for her storm caller (She'll give the sky eels swimming lessons.. come on guys you should take to this like... a you to water....)

20 for the needler rifle she's going to buy to take advantage of that blue whinnis. She's not PLANNING on using it on shan..primarily... (her biohacker mother may have given her some funny ideas on how to get 8 kids to take their medicine in a hurry)

No reason to deck out her whole armory.

So definitely getting swimming fins, unless Ewok, you're OK with Akh using his fly speed underwater.

The aquafit rules are quite annoying for vanguards. You can't aquafit your entropic strike directly since it isn't a weapon. You can inherit the underwater special property off another weapon after aquafitting that, but that downgrades Akh's damage unless the weapon is high level enough. But otherwise weapons don't actually do anything for me. Seems a huge waste to buy an item level 6 weapon just for the underwater property.

I also can't pick up underwater brawler because I don't have strength. I'm still digging to see what other options might be out there.

Ye olde survival knife or any level 1 pike with reach would let you do 1d3 plus con plus 5 with no attack penalty for your entropic strike (and so would your bite if you have it) The dice don't matter that much at that level.
