Game Master S's "Settling Accounts" [1-4] (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

Back in the saddle!

Trying to get a handle on things here.

It sounds like (from Slack) we may be all over the place on character levels.

So, just wanted to make sure we discussed this before diving in with both feet.

I do have characters in the 3-4 subtier, though was originally planning on playing Giovanni, who is level 2.

I have never played Starfinder before, this will be my first foray. So if you guys all want to play up, that's ok with me. The APL looks like it is going that way anyhow. If I die, no skin, with any of my characters really, but especially the level ones! I have an Operative and a Soldier also rolled up, also level 1.0; just wanted to get familiar with the classes.

You got this. SF is more forgiving than PF1 or PF2. I'll roll out the start today. I think I still need Noble to post.

Character Name: Magnok-704
Player Name: Bill Tobin
PFS# 76576 - 704
Faction: Dataphiles
Level 1 Mechanic

This is actually Magnok's third scenario.

Into the Unknown (8/15/2017) (GM Credit)
The Commencement (9/14/2019) (Granite State Comicon 2019)

You can tell that he really remembered the Commencement.

so, 1,1,2,2,4 = 10/5 or APL 2

That's a little more comfortable :D

Just curious; Rowdy Randy beat the DC by 6 and has 170' Remaining. Skorrch got a critical beating the DC by 12 and has 190' Remaining. Do the different skills have farther distances on successes? Thanks!

Randy has a movement rate of 40', which Skorrch has 30' (as does Giovanni).

I am pretty much assuming that's the full difference.

Correct. It's your speed differences.

Trying to figure out our roles, but Noble-44 has not posted a character sheet.

Skills:

Computers:
Magnok +8
Giovanni +9
Randy +0
Skorrch +9

Engineering:
Magnok +8
Giovanni +13
Randy +5
Skorrch +6

Gunnery:
Magnok +6
Giovanni +9
Randy +3
Skorrch +7

Piloting:
Magnok +6
Giovanni +9
Randy +1
Skorrch +7

Without knowing Noble-44's skills, IMHO this puts us as such:

Science: Skorrch
Engineering: Giovanni
Gunnery 1: Noble-44
Gunnery 2: Randy
Pilot: Magnok

Though I could see swapping Magnok's and Giovanni's assigments to get our best pilot forward. Could also have Randy in engineering to start, and our best gunner (Giovanni) on the guns.

Options.

Please chime in ASAP!

Forgot... no Skorrch... so only the 4 of us

Need to know Noble-44's skills.

Also, we could possibly use Randy as Chief Mate, but that seems to be a support role.

My suggestion is this:

Pilot: Magnok +6
Science: Giovanni +9, moving to engineering rd2
Gunnery: Noble (+13)
Engineering: Randy, moving to chief mate rd2 (for maintenance panel)

The cost of this is that the DC16 check to Back Off isn't a guarantee, though we'll throw the computer bonus, giving a a +9 on that piloting check.

It will maximize our gunnery, and starting on round 2, should allow us to boost 2 things (shields and guns?)
