Welcome to my game, I do look forward to having a great time.
This adventure has the Exo-Guardians and Vehicle tags.
Heya, happy to be here.

Let me know if you need anything else.
Thank you for getting that information. I'll be getting ready for the kick off for the convention soon and I'm looking forward to running this.
I've set up a google sheets for people to drop icons, initiative and perception bonuses here on Maps and Handouts and that will be in my tagline and at the top of this campaign thread as well.
I generally like to run a relatively fast paced game that is looking for something happening every weekday and half pace over the weekends. So if anyone is expecting to be out for a period, it is absolutely no problem and perfect as long as you let the game know if you will be unable to post for a day or more. This is meant to be flexible so if there are any issues feel free to let me know.
As for your characters, I'm curious which of you have visited the planet of Tabrid Minor and the copaxi before. Both as a player and on the character you will be bringing for this adventure.
The other question I want to ask if there are any special abilities you wanted to mention your characters might have that you wanted to let me know.
I have played 1-22. I'm swear there was something else that dealt with a copaxi that I played but I can't remember what. But, very familiar here, player only.
Solarian choices:
Black Hole
Super Nova
Stellar Rush
Blade in the Night
Defy Gravity
I'll also be using for the first time are the Neutriad Flail and Neutriad Pistol that both target EAC with Bludgeoning damage and she will be trying to disarm.
She will also always try to drive her enercycle everywhere so feel free to throw a
And she will always tank the whole time though, if I remember correctly, she's a bit squishy.
Anything else, GM?

note to the team: I have a reroll that I can give away but not use myself. It can be used a total of once during a scenario. It uses my 1 nova, not the other player's nova as a bonus.
That all sounds good. I think that addresses any immediate question I have for everyone.
I'll make sure to note your boon reward on the chronicle sheet Flenn!
Faction: Improved Exo-Guardian Champion
Social: Pact Worlds Defender - When you have this boon slotted, you and any adjacent allies gain a +1 morale bonus to saving throws against fear effects. This bonus increases to +2 if the source of the fear effect is something that did not originate within the Pact Worlds.
Any suggested boons? I got a few.

Boons
Faction: Acquisitives Champion
Ally Destruction of AA-126D
Your discoveries led to the destruction of the asteroid AA-126D. Although this has vaporized untold discoveries, it has inspired one of the Sledgehammer’s more aggressive crewmembers to assist you in future endeavors. This functions as the Basic Hireling Access boon (see the Starfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Guide), though you recruit this dwarf, whose skills include three of the following, selected when you choose the boon: Athletics, Intimidation, Sense Motive, or Survival. When you acquire the Amateur Hireling Access, Professional Hireling Access, Elite Hireling Access, or Master Hireling Access boons, you can choose to have them improve this dwarven hireling
Personal Scoured Stars Survivor
"You survived the events of the Scoured Stars and they’ve impacted you, or you’ve passed this information onto someone who has learned from your experiences. If you already have a permanent boon in your Personal boon slot, such as a special race boon, then you can instead gift this boon to any other character you’ve created that does not already have a permanent Personal boon. If you pass this boon onto another character, keep a copy of this Chronicle sheet with that character.
When you slot this boon in your Personal Boon slot, once per day as a free action, you can reduce the number of Resolve Points required to stabilize by 1 (to a minimum of 0 RP.) When you use this ability to stabilize, you also immediately gain 1d6 Hit Points for every 2 character levels you have."
Slotless Marked Field Agent "
Having met the amalgam of intelligences known as Guidance, you have successfully completed your induction into the Starfinder Society. The Society offered you a subdermal implant as part of your commencement. You receive this augmentation for free. If you declined to receive the augmentation, cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet.
SOCIETY SUBDERMAL GRAFT SYSTEMHand MODEL LEVEL PRICE
Single 1 150
This implant rests underneath the skin of the palm of one hand, or at the end of a tentacle or similar appendage in species that lack hands. The augmentation can be activated or deactivated mentally as a swift action. Activating the implant causes a rendition of the Starfinder Society’s symbol to glow underneath the skin. This augmentation acts as a mark, letting others know you are a member of the Starfinder Society. It also increases the light level within 5 feet by one step while active."
Slotless -Vanity Private Vault
The staff of the Communion Vaults takes note of your actions in helping to resolve Whisperer of Solar Winds’ dreamspun tales. The staff provide you with a reasonable space of your own within the Communion Vaults. This 20-by-20-foot square chamber can be used to store any major magical finds you’ve recovered or purchased during your travels. You can bring any number of creatures into this space whenever you like. While this chamber is mostly a personal accomplishment and an area you can show off to others, it does have one tangible benefit: the entire area within your vault is warded by a nondetection effect (caster level 10th).
Social Live Air Celebrity
"By participating in various contests on Pact World Warriors, you’ve proven your adaptability. Each of the contests you succeeded at during this event has imparted a slight edge you can call upon in future adventures. Your GM will cross out any of the abilities from the following list for which you did not score higher than the rival team.
Obstacle Override: Once per adventure, you can reroll a single failed Acrobatics or Athletics check.
Cooking Master: You gain a +2 bonus to Profession (cook) checks when attempting a Day Job check with this skill. You gain a +3 bonus to any Profession (cook) checks in an adventure when those checks are specifically called out in the adventure’s text.
Kill Streak: You’ve got a knack for killing weaker foes in successive order. Once per adventure when time you slay an enemy whose CR is equal to or less than your level – 2, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls and weapon damage rolls against other enemies until the end of your next turn.
Hold the Flag: Once per adventure, you gain a +2 bonus to your KAC when targeted by a combat maneuver or similar effect that would cause you to lose hold of an item that you do not wish to relinquish. Alternatively, you can gain a +2 bonus to a saving throw to resist an effect that would cause you to lose hold of an item or drop an item you do not wish to relinquish (such as a command spell). You can decide to add this bonus after the dice have been rolled."
Promotional Reroll
"You have brought an accessory that displays your visible support to Paizo's organized play program. This grants you a onetime reroll during the session.
Prerequisites: Bring and display a qualifying t-shirt or messenger bag to the game.
Benefit: You can reroll a single d20 roll you make during the course of the scenario. You must follow all the reroll rules as listed on page 243 of the Starfinder Core Rulebook when using this reroll.
Special: When a player uses a free reroll, she may present her Organized Play membership card (available on their My Organized Play page) and receive an additional +1 for every GM nova she has earned, for a maximum of a +5. Note, this bonus applies to the higher result of the reroll, not just the second roll."
I have 2 Novas
If anyone else can Pilot, I would be happy to take up a second sub to run support. Of course Den'nea wants the fast one though.
Pilot +13 & Sky Jockey
Any suggested boons? I got a few.
There are no boons suggested by the adventure. If you do have a vehicle boon that could be useful for this scenario, otherwise I would suggest any boon that would help you with the outlined mission goals or hazards that have been mentioned.
Also, I wanted to confirm levels as I think some had changed since sign up. Here is what I'm seeing now:
Den'nea Fon, Level 6
Delea, Level 5
Flenn, Level 5
Rattus Solo, Level 4
Rodkin, Level 4
Tanila, Level 4
That places you within the high-tier.
Yeah, I see a pretty good mixed bag though. I think, as long as we focus on roles, we should be be good.
I think high tier is fine.
Here are the two vehicles you have at your disposal:
LEVEL 6
Huge water vehicle (10 ft. wide, 20 ft. long, 7 ft. high)
Speed 10 ft., full 450 ft., 50 mph (swim)
EAC 13; KAC 16; Cover total cover
HP 90 (45); Hardness 10
Attack (Collision) 7d8 (DC 12)
Modifiers –4 Piloting, –3 attack (–6 at full speed)
Systems autopilot (Piloting +13), planetary comm unit; Passengers 7
REINFORCED TORPEDO MINISUB
LEVEL 3
Large water vehicle (5 ft. wide, 10 ft. long, 3 ft. high)
Speed 20 ft., full 200 ft., 22 mph (swim)
EAC 13; KAC 15; Cover total cover
HP 30 (5); Hardness 6
Attack (Collision) 5d4 (DC 12)
Modifiers +2 Piloting, –1 attack (–3 at full speed)
Passengers 1
For clarity regarding the anomaly waves, talking with the mechanic, what you are likely to deal with when running into an obstacle is:
Each non-pilot will be able to attempt one check related to solving the obstacle. One success among the party will be enough to overcome it.
If you are a pilot, you can attempt a Piloting check. If you succeed, the non-pilots will get +2 on their checks for that obstacle.
If you are in a minisub, you must be a pilot.
One person in the main sub can be a pilot, but the DC will be higher than what the minisub pilots have (as you need to be better than the submarine's auto-pilot).
Yeah, Den'nea would also want to pilot a mini sub but you all have the better pilot so she'll need the boost from the team.
Alright, I wanted to confirm a couple details.
First, to make sure the mission goals given by Therseis and Zigvigix were clear for everyone.
Second, I wanted to confirm positions, Den'ea and Rodkin are in their own minisubs, while everyone else are in the larger pump-jet sub. Is that correct?
Yeah, RP-wise that sounds correct.
That is all correct and that all sounds good.
If it does come to botting either Rattus or Delea, are there any suggestions for what actions they should take?
Promise that was all rp. I'm good.
Damn, 20 EAC still barely hits. We're still good...
Almost got ya with that Black Hole though, was good fun lol
That was a solid hit. I do have one question about the opportunistic fusion, isn't it +2 to attack and +3 to damage for your level 5 weapon?
Oh, apologies. I was mistaken on the attack:
The opportunistic fusion guides your accuracy when making attacks of opportunity and leaves your foes vulnerable to your attack. You gain a +2 bonus to attacks of opportunity made with this weapon. If your attack of opportunity hits, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll for that attack of opportunity. This damage increases by 1 if the weapon is item level 5, and by an additional 1 for every 5 item levels thereafter. Only melee weapons can benefit from this fusion. -Archives of Nethys
So, only damage...but yes, my flail is level 5.
Not that it truly matters cause the fight is over any but I went back a looked, you said the creature had 125hp.
Even if the mind thrust was reduced, that rush damage should have killed it.
Den'nea want her smoked mutated gator.
It's really fine, just an interesting way of handling that.
That is correct, however there might be some confusion because it wasn't your turn to act in the combat. Your action for that round I believe was to use Black Hole to try to pull the creature away from the submarine. The creature just used the actions to begin withdrawing from the combat before your turn.
While I dropped you out of initiative because you successfully succeeded in the fight and I didn't want to slow the game down by keeping you in initiative among other reasons. The party does have the option to continue the fight, and I put a specific note for you in there if you wished to commit to that action.
I know but the black hole was the round before that. That last round would have been Delea, the crock, then everyone else.
Right on though, let's push on unless the others want their gator meat too.
Forums boards suck and I can't wait till they upgrade to something that's stable. Not your fault.
At the moment I'm not looking for a check just yet, but I do want to confirm the party is agreeing to whatever request is being made. If you have any questions, concerns, requests for clarification, or negotiations offers you have with either others or Cas, then I encourage you to make them. You won't be penalized if you post without a bonus in a Charisma based skill. Barring immediate threats of violence, it can only help.
You're right, I've been auto adding in the Photon Attunement plus one and adding on top of it. So, her bonus to damage is +9 and +2 per Opp. Fusion with a natural 19 on the die. Other than that, looks straight to me at 30 damage. Not sure whey I would have to reroll it.
Thalious: I thought your weapon did a d8 damage and you rolled a d20 for damage. I do know that there are some d20 damage weapons available, but I didn't think you were using one.
Rattus: That sounds good. Thank you for letting me know!
I see it now, sorry. I probably shouldn't be playing a game with so many numbers but we're just having fun right....
It is not a problem, I just explained it because you asked me to explain why. I'm used to seeing small errors creep into PbP. On that matter I t does seem that my damage count is off for Den'nea as well. I was thinking her AC was 21 when it was 22. That means two of the attacks I treated as hits actually missed.
The damage on Den'nea is 31 barring anything else I missed. I'll update that on my next combat tracking post.
I will admit that one goal I have for this fight is to see Rodkin crit as I believe he deserves a burst of luck following the chain of will saves.
If you all could do me a favor and roll your day job rolls and confirm that the character information you posted here is correct.
