There does not seem to be a place to ask about Starfinder 2e adventures...not sure why but here is my question

Lunar-17 is an Mystic with the Mystic Connection Ashaskic meaning she is an Occult caster but she has Heal on her spell list? I cannot seem to figure out how she got Heal. I am thinking it is a error and it should be Sooth a decidely weaker spell. Thoughts on this? Am I missing something?

I am wondering if there will be a Starfinder Special Edition Adventure Subscription? I have a Starfinder Adventure Subscription and wnat to change it a Special Edition but that does not seem to be an option even though "Guilt of the Gravelands" will have special edition. When I asked it seems the only options is to cancel my subscription and buy it seperately....accept there will be no Free PDF.

Seems strange not to have Special Edition Subscription available

Anyone know of a set of cards that cover the Exploration Activity? I was hoping to give my players a set each so they could put on the table in front of them (we play in person). We always seem to forget about them? Trying to make it easier

Has there been any discussion on a playtest of the new starship rules? Just got the GM core and was a little disappointed to see how little content there was about starship combat. It was weird that vehicles were next in the book and that write up felt more like I was hoping to see for starships. Do not get me wrong, I will use the cinematic starship rules, they are good in certain situations but I was hoping for a little more.

I think there is a book coming out early next year with more...but it would be great to playtest starship combat and provide feedback.

Just wondering

Does feat only matter if your weapon is Reload 3?

"You know that reloading a weapon can be a delicate process, but you’ve mastered how to do so in the middle of combat, starting while still in the act of firing your weapon. Reduce your weapon’s reload cost by 1, then Interact to reload your weapon. Unlike most Interact actions, you don’t need a free hand to reload your ranged weapon in this way."

It seems is is an action and it makes a 2 action reload one action.

So I am just starting my SF2 journey and I plan to run "Battle for Nova Rush" since the PDF just came out. But I have a few questions since core book is not out. Seems like running this on FreeRPG day would have been hard

1 it seems the PDF is missing item and ability descriptions. Where can I get those? Is there a reference some where?

2 is there a way to get the maps with out the room numbers on them? I useca tv to display maps on my table top

Thanks in advance for any help

I was unable to grab one on Free RPG Day. When does it release? I am hoping to run it for my home group

I subscribed to the "Starfinder Special Edition Rulebook Ongoing Subscription" but I do not see the core book in my sidecart yet? I see "Murder in Metal City" should I reach out to support? I see it is on preorder and expected to be release July 31s so I thought it would in my side cart.

It seems strange to me that a sling is reload 1 when all the bows are reload 0 (even the wierd ones like Sheildbow)? I am trying to determine why...reload 0 would not seem over powered comapred to shortbow? Thoughts on why this might be?

Just wondering how quickly do PDFs and books get updated with errata? I get it that AoN is available but having and offline PDF is also useful. Also How do we know when books get reprinted and updated?

Is this somewhere to see? if not I think it would be good to let us know. I know I will rebuy an older book is errata is pulled in.

I am looking for a simple straightford adventure. We have a new player and he struggles with ambiguity and complexity of story. To the point if he feels lost he reacts with chaos and in game destructive behavior. So I am looking for something that is black and white. We are the good guys....they are the bad guys. Roleplaying is fine as long as it in context of the story. I was thinking about Abomination Vault but I am little concerned about the second book.

So any suggestions would help me..I do not want a full app but a single adventure or 3 book AP is fine.

There is a map of skywatch provided....there appear to labels on the map but they are not on the image. Some apear to on some appear to be off? Greyed out. How do I get rid of them?

IS there a comphrensive list of the changes? I am looking for Prismatic Sphere in the player core. Was it dropped or was it renamed?

Just wondering if we will get a set of remaster pregen characters at some point? At least for the classes released? Nov 16th maybe :) JK

I know I can use all the old adventures but was wondering if there was an adventure released in remastered rules? With intro about changes in the game things like removal of alignement (and the changes to address that) and things like that? Basically highlighting shifts for people? I have gaming event on the 25th where I would like to high light the remaster.

I am going to be running PF2 demos at my local library con in October. Is there a demo that can scale with the number of players available? Torment and Legacy assumes 4 to 6 players but I need something that can run on a variable amount of players starting with 1 and maybe an iconic.

The Gencon demo "Pathfinder Demo: Bandits on the Bridge" list 1 to 12 players which sounds perfect but it does not seem to be available for purchase or download. thoughts?

Have not been to Gencon in a few yers and I am having a real hard time find events. Do they still seat generic tickets? 2 of my friends got into the special for pathfinder but I did not get a ticket? Will then seat a generic for the special? Or any events?

So we are about 3 weeks out from starting this adventure path :) We are moving to Foundry full time with this. I ahve a few questions. Can I load all the books at once? Or do load book 1 and when we finish it load book 2? Doing a test it tells me while loading book 2 after book 1 that it will over write existing assets. Is that ok or are there changes to things specific to book 2 :)

So I would love to be able to have a starting data package for Campaign Manager. Something like World Anvil, Campfire, Kanka or Scabbard data packages would be great. I am not set on platform yet. Anyone know if something like this exists? I have all the books/PDFs but would love to jump start the campaign manager if possible. Thoughts?

I was told today that by RAW the emanation from bless does not move with the caster. It is stationary, meaning to move it the caster has to move and spend an action to extened it by 5 feet thus recnetering it on them. There was a lot of discuccsion around emanations and the thought that they do not move unless it it says "emanation that continually ebbs out from you" like aura. I did bring Sphere of Invisibilty which states "While exploring, it's easy to move together slowly and remain invisible". which I guess which implies movement?

Is this true? have I been playing bless wrong for 2 years now? Dogs and cats living together? Mass hysteria?

Thanks for any wisdom shared :)

Just started reading and on the second page it mentions the Rending, Torag's Cricible and the Kingdom of Kraggodan...wait the Kraggodan? Is this a typo? I know the Kraggodan (Sky Citidel) is in Nirmathas in the Mindspin Mountians....I am thinking it shoulf be Five Kings but not sure?

We are starting book 6 and I am planning on building a 3d version of the final encouter (maybe more of the fortress it depends on time) and I am looking for stand in for General Azaersi. I think I got the others but having trouble finding a good one. I have a 3d printer so STLs work....if anyone found a stand in please let me know. Thanks

In Bestiary 3 the Terra-Cotta Garrison has raise shield and shield block. How would shield block work? The troop does not even have equipment? I guess it could use the steel shield (Hardness 5, HP 20, BT 10) from the warrior but that seems weird since it only has 20 HP and BT 10?

https://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1333

Just wonder how this works..I am thinking of just bumping up the all the shield numbers but not sure.

We have been playing since launch and we are finishing up the "Ironfang Invasion" (great AP) so we are talking about what is next. I am the GM and as we move on I just wondered about peoples thoughts on uncommon and rare ancestries. Are they balanced with common ancestries? Is it really just to allow the GM to say "Nah does not fit" or are there benefits beyond the common ancestries?

Everything I read....I cannot find much seems on ancestry rarity does not mention balanced issue but may not be theme appropriate. But wondering the community thoughts?

I am looking at Animal Specializations Bully....do you think that the animal companion would suffer -4 since they do not share a language?

https://2e.aonprd.com/AnimalCompanions.aspx?ID=2&Specialized=true

"If the target does not understand the language you are speaking, or you're not speaking a language, you take a –4 circumstance penalty to the check."

So watching the "Head Shot the Rot" it was interesting to see the new guns in play...the one thing I thought was weird was the "Scatter" Property.

http://2e.aonprd.com/Traits.aspx?ID=413

Is it really meant to hit the person firing the gun? In several cases Zakzak and Booker were effected by there own shot. I read the property it seems like it should but it felt weird. Not being able to blast zombies adjacent seemed a little strange. I suppose ricocheting shot could bounce back but it felt more like a bomb then gunfire.

Am I reading that right?

Anyone know if the Trox have been added to Pathfinder Second Edition. I looked in AON and searched here but not finding anything. Anyone got a good replacement for a darklands trox slave (running Ironfang Invasion)?

My order should have both the Special Edition Secrets of Magic and the normal Edition of Secrets of magic. But I only receive the special edition in the package today.

Let me know what I need to do to get the normal edition of Secrets of Magic?

I am getting ready to run the vaults and was looking for sound track. I really loved the music from the trailer so looking for a similar theme. Anyone have a play list for the vaults?

Great show! Having fun listening so far

I was listening to a POD cast the other day and they mentioned that all teleportation effects do not provoke and AOO. Reading I wonder..

Reading Teleportation It reads

"Teleportation does not usually trigger reactions based on movement."

but wouldn't the casting of Dimension Door provoke since is has a somatic and gains the Manipulate??

Attack of Opportunity requirements state

"A creature within your reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it’s using."

Am I wrong?maybe I am not apply the tags correctly

Am I missing something? Is there no Troop Template in Bestiary 3?

I love that the new maps and tile sets come with JPGs for VTT! Anyone know if the pawn sets purchased as pdfs will also come with JPGs? This would be super helpful :)

So this order did not post yet...shipping was suppose to end on Jan 22nd. So wondering

It seems there was a gag in society deliveries

Please let me know what more you need

I love seeing the new adventure paths showing up on Roll20! But I have one request..can the toolbox section get added to the Pathfinder 2 as a compendium? I post over on the roll20 site but there seems to be no official response.

There is this suggestion thread on roll20 but with no response from roll20. In the past I have been told it is a publishers choice on what gets done. So reaching out here also

https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8917490/paizo-adventure-paths-should-be-a dded-to-the-compendium/?pageforid=9094839#post-9094839

Order 27134542 missing Focus and Primal VTT Images not in digital down loads

Just wondering if there will be new pregen characters? Either the new APG classes or more levels for the existing classes?

Well it seems I am a little late to the party....there are only 3 tables left, 2 in Portuguese and 1 in Russian. Is there any chance there will be tables added or am I just out of luck this year?

I might even consider running a table if need be :)

Order 26844337 shipment never arrived and the tracking number doesn't show me anything. I have the email with the shipment and tracking number but the URL never goes anywhere.

Please let me know what to do

I have all the spell cards in my side cart. They were there before my June order shipped (several weeks) but they did not ship with my June order. Right now they are schedule for my July order...I was hoping to get them moved up since I will pay separate shipping any way.

I know customer service is busy but I posted about this issue 3 weeks and sent an email also (no reply on either). How do we actually get help?

so my order posted but now of the spellcards(i got all 5) in my side cart were added? Please let me know if they will be sent separate or if the end up in next months order?

Wondering about this order? It appears I got 2 order emails one when I ordered the Special Edition Bestiary 2 and another email when the subscription hit. Just wondering if this still valid? I have not receive any information about shipping. So just wondering

Just wondering why some of the classic maps are not on sale

https://paizo.com/products/btpya1zv?Pathfinder-FlipMat-Classics-Pub-Crawl

I am thinking everyone is creating the scenarios on their VTT of choice. I have been on Roll 20 and it would be cool if the could get them in the market place. Roll20 PF2 seems to have a ton of support (CRB, Bestiary, GMG)....so maybe some PFS also? :)

So as we move out game online I wonder if anyone has a good set of token condition markers. Token condition markers are the little icons that get added to token to designate things like blinded or clumsy. I was looking there a bunch 5e ones out there but no Pathfinder Second Edition ones. It would be great to have a set for PF2 :) Just wondering...

On a side note....

It seems Pathfinder went all in on the Roll20 stuff...core rule books, a few PF1 APs and even Fall of Plaguestone. But seemed to miss the basic assets that could go along with gaming online. Like condition token iconography or even basic flipmaps, I like the get a PDF thing or a discount if you own a PDF they have going on...I would buy flipmaps if I got a roll20 and Paizo PDF off the market place. :)
