I was interested in having my group take part in an adventure guide but wanted to test out the game first. They are currently level 2 going on 3 soon, and I saw they are the level appropriate for the 2nd adventure. Would my group be missing out on alot of backstory and make the game unplayable if I started them on adventure path 2 of 6 and skipped 1 of 6?

It is a group of 3 people, so would it be easier to just make them do 1 instead? I do want to make it fairly difficulty so I dont want to put them against crazy easy encounters.

I have a player who is trying to make a tougher melee character. The main issue is when he uses a 2 hander he ends up getting turned into cheese because he isn't in powered armor and isnt interested in using it opting to be the agile melee instead of the literal tank.

Considering I have seen starfinder pictures of shields being used I offered to let him use a shield, but I am still not 100% sure on what would be fair. What would you suggest be give him in terms of benefits and limitations for a shield strapped to his arm? Obviously he cant use that arm for anything else as per standard d20 rules. Would it be balanced to give him the standard +2 AC (KAC and EAC) bonus, or should I make him decide which AC to apply it to? Should I let him use shields from pathfinder, or stick him with an ordinary shield? What would you suggest?

I have purchased the core rulebook on amazon, and I have been shipped 3 different copies one after the other. Each time the fabric strip that sticks to the binding between the binding and the spine has either already broken off, or has broken off in the first few minutes of having the book open. Is this an issue with the book in general, or is amazon just sending me books that have already been returned without actually repairing them?

Would I have better luck ordering from Paizo directly? I can see the binding bends more of a ( when the fabric is in place, and when it breaks off the binding is more of a < shape to what page is open. I am assuming this will impact the lifespan of the book, and at the very least the sound of the adhesive breaking and adjusting would get frustrating as well.

Grenades seem kind of odd how they are calculated when thrown. If I am reading it right when a throw misses the amount you missed by is decided by the targets AC. So if the target is extremely hard to hit and you dont roll well enough you could end up throwing the grenade so far away it doesnt hit anyone.

I assumed the rules for throwing grenades would just be an easy roll to throw the grenade into a target square, and then everyone in the blast radius gets a reflex save.

Is there a way to throw a grenade into an uninhabited square? I feel like that is how grenades work realistically. You dont need to be a pro pitcher to get a grenade in the general vicinity of a dude thats only 20 feet away, and a dude in a tank isnt going to act like a reverse magnet making the grenade launch away from himself.
