I see no rule in either Starfinder, the Starfinder FAQ, Pathfinder or Pathfinder FAQ that relates to the following issue that came up in our first Starfinder Society game tonight.

A few people arrived early to create characters, and selected an initial profession. Profession being a class skill, my interpretation has always been the +3 bonus only applies to your first profession, should you choose to have others.

However, a rules lawyer not involved in the game yelled from across the room that all professions are class skills. Seems a little overpowered to me. After getting home tonight and reviewing the rulebooks and FAQ's, I will be ruling next week that it's only your first choice that is a class skill. Unless someone posts to clear this up.

Thanks.

For the SFS reporting sheets, what is supposed to be tracked in the Faction Boons box?

When reporting an event, there is no corresponding field to enter, and I want to be sure I don't have to backtrack months later to try and determine what should have been in that box.

Thanks

My Limited Edition Core Rulebook arrived August 11th, and I noticed the spine damage right away. I've sent 3 emails to customer service (the first August 12th with photos of the faulty binding), and have received no acknowledgement whatsoever.

Seems that posting in this forum gets quick responses, so hopefully someone can check into this.

Thanks.

The 5 part quest, Into the Unknown, gives Fame/Reputation for completing each quest. However, the Adventure says you do not get to slot any boons for for these quests.

Without a faction boon, available on character creation, you shouldn't gain any Fame/Reputation.

For my SFS games, I will be allowing people to gain fame and reputation for their initial Faction.

Is this correct?

There must be a point to tracking non-lethal damage in game. Could anyone point out what it is?

I understand that if damage that is dealt to you that reduces you below 0 hit points is non-lethal, you are unconscious and stable. However, my concerns arise from the following:

Many environmental effects deal both lethal and non-lethal damage. In such a case, since even non-lethal damage subtracts from the same pools of SP and HP, how should one determine whether the final damage has a PC dying or stable?

And for falling, should one jump, the first d6 is considered non-lethal, and if you do an Acrobatics check, you may be able to further reduce damage. So, if you were to jump a 40 drop and succeed at the Acrobatics check, you could say 0 for the first 10 feet 1d6 non-lethal for the next 10, but 2d6 lethal for the final twenty. If that reduces a character to less than 0 up, there was no point in adding the non-lethal damage to the rules.

I feel I'm missing something...

Starfinder is upon us, and the Edmonton Starfinder Society is blasting off... Starting Friday, August 25th, we will be hosting a get together to discuss the new rules system and roll characters. This will be held at The Adventurers Guild at 153rd and Stony Plain Road from 5:30-10:30 pm.

Following this, weekly tables are scheduled at TAG every Friday evening, and more will be added at Mission Fun & Games in St. Albert, as well as Sundays at Warp 1 Comics & Games on Whyte Avenue.

For our upcoming Mummy's Mask Season I am thinking of adding Drelm to my Cleric deck. Registering a Cleric character only gives the 4 names from the class deck. What is considered proper protocol in this situation?
