GM Zoomba's The Beginning of the End (Inactive)

Discussion Thread!

Feel free to chat here and sort out which agents are coming. I'm happy to run either subtier.

Celestia Sol here burning a replay and needs to be levelled up to 7.

I am good with playing in either sub-tier. George 09-23 needs to be levelled up to 6 but he can play up if needed.

I have several characters available, all "martial"
A Paladin level 7 for High Tier
Other characters level 6 or 5 for high or low tier

I've got some for both subtiers as well. Should we each just go with our favourite and play in whatever subtier the average level shakes out?

Okay, I'm going to roll with my embri Mystic PC, Speaker for the Dead (Level 5). He's got a lot of credits, so I need to buy him some new gear . . .

Will take my Vanguard (5)

As Jhaeman, i need to do some shopping!

I am done shopping and levelling up. I am looking forward to playing with all you.

All right, looks like it'll be lower tier then.

Slotting Boons:

Personal Boon: Embri Heritage (play an embri)

Social Boon: Society Solidarity (reduce Fame cost of body recovery by 2, reduce Fame cost of raise dead by 4, and get +2 on skill checks to influence members of Starfinder Society.

Starship: Skitter Pal (if fewer than six crew members on starship, skittermander Ayoka takes engineer role with bonus equal to CL+3).

Well mindspike grenades are cool :)

Interesting note to keep in mind though: the affected creatures attempt either a Will save or a Reflex save against the grenade's effects (it's a 'can' element of the grenade, not a required replacement).

Not relevant here as despite being 'operative-esque' as you've seen their Will is actually higher than their Reflexes, but something to note for the future.

Huh, good catch on the optionality on the save, never noticed that! And yeah the typo was my bad lol

In case you're wondering how I had a Mk 3 Mindspike Grenade on a lvl 6 character, it's a chronicle reward from

Should the successful Evade maneouver have negated the collision hazard for us? That's how I understood the slides

You did Evade the hazard in the city center zone as you passed through.

However the Construction Zone has a separate attack on things moving through it. And even with that Evade also raising your AC, it still connected.

Hope that makes sense

Ahhh, makes sense, thanks!

Why did their ship only take 8 damage from my shot? That feels low for the critical hit, are vehicles immune to crits?

They are, as Objects

If there is a specific rule I'm missing confirming that's wrong and they can be crit, please let me know

I see, makes sense. Never thought of that!

I'm going for the speed up and lose them option, but if you strongly want, I can put on the brakes for boarding.

Do what you think your Character will do, what my character says is what my character thinks, no what i think is best as a player ;)

Cool!

With Cover, Buttressing bonus and Prone, 5am's EAC should be around 29, which should have made that 26 against her AC a miss, I think.

I did miss the prone. Shot would be a miss - will correct.

Sorry, behind—please bot.

I'm going to be away the second half of this week.

I'm waiting for Ombonth to act before taking my turn this turn, going for some guarded step shenanigans but want to Ombonth to benefit from flank first

Done.

Sorry, was sick yesterday.

Let's have Speaker for the Dead also recover SP during the short rest via botting

Of course!

As we are very near the end of our mission, please double-check the sign-in sheet to make sure that your detaisl are accurate.

If you'd like to roll you Day Job here, you can also do so in advance now

Thanks for the game. No day job for my character. :)

day job: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Thank you very much! I'll handle downtime myself

Day Job (Profession Counsellor): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Chronicles can be found HERE Please let me know if there are any issues/corrections that need to be made.

I enjoyed running this for you all. Hopefully you enjoyed it as well

Yes thank you

Thanks--fun session!

Sorry for my unexpected absence this last few days.
My last weekend hasn't happened as I expected and then work hit hard.

Thanks for running Zoomba! As usual it was great :)
