Colthan Becknar's page

Looks good. Thanks again.

EH

Semi-Auto Pistol, Elite then. And my day job roll was 31 so 62 credits.

Can it be on an item above our current level?

Colthan doubts there would be 2 traps in the same room but checks the door anyway.

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

"One moment. Someone trapped an otherwise empty room."

Take 10 on Engineering using a Trapsmith Toolkit for a 33.

Colthan takes a moment to investigate the room paying special attention to the mosaic.

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

Also he has been reloading after each fight. Gonna want tpo buy more bullets after this.

Actually he also would have checked out the last room as well.

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

"Her neck is on the line as well. If things get close she'll tell us how to shut off the self destruct. But I'd rather not risk it if we don't have to."

After checking that Datch is still around and bound Colthan says "Let's try the blue door."

Perception for traps: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Colthan nods. He then tricks the red enemy, moves away, and fires at it.

Update says yellow but the map shows red. Take 10 on trick attack for 23 to cause FF.

ranged vs FF KAC: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

piercing: 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 4) + 4 = 20
trick damage: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 7) = 21

"Doing what I can."

Colthan focuses on red.

Trick attack taking 10 for a 23 causing flatfooted.

ranged vs FF KAC: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
piercing damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 6) + 4 = 11
trick damage: 4d8 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 1) = 13

will save DC 18 including bonus vs mind effecting: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21
Ow! 32 damage is still a lot.

Colthan isn't near the door but I guess he can walk in first.

Mysticism? to identify: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

Assuming they are inimical Colthan will share what he knows as he distracts the reddish one before shooting at it.

Take 10 on Trick Attack for a 23 vs red.

ranged vs ff KAC: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
piercing damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3) + 4 = 13
trick damage: 4d8 ⇒ (6, 2, 7, 1) = 16

Even though she is in binders Colthan asks Umbro to help him tie Datch to a chair and bring her with.

"If a fight breaks out just drop her. Or use one hand to drag the chair. I want her in sight at all times."

She is probably scripted to escape but I don't want it to be because we messed up.

Colthan investigates the statue in case it hides another passageway.

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

"Should we just tie her to a chair and drag her with us? I'm sure she intends to escape, If she hasn't already."

Colthan adjusts his position slightly in case Sister Maggie decides to take a shot, Colthan again tricks and fires.

Take 10 for Trick Attack causing Flat-Footed.

ranged vs FF KAC inc Inspire: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 1 = 26
piercing damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 6) + 4 = 15
trick damage: 4d8 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 4) = 14

"I think we are wearing it down."

Colthan moves to get a clearer shot at the robot then causes it to go slightly haywire before shooting at it.

Take 10 on Trick Attack for CR 13 causing FF.

Ranged vs ff KAC: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
piercing damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 4) + 4 = 13
Trick damage: 4d8 ⇒ (4, 7, 2, 2) = 15

Colthan will move into the room then use the robots electronics against it.

Take 10 on Trick attack for CR 13 to make flat-footed

"Big angry robot in here."

Ranged vs FF? KAC: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
piercing damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 = 12
trick damage: 4d8 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 4) = 12

Engineering to identify robot?: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31

"Console over here."

Colthan pulls out his tools and goes to work.

Take 10 on computers or engineering for a 29 or 33 depending on if one of my tool kits or library chips helps.

"Not that I think she will really risk her fur in a self-destruct but we need to get the doors open. Two of you watch her, The rest of us will search the room."

Colthan puts binders on her and investigates the statue.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

Take 10 for a 30 on Engineering to boost Provide Knowledge.

Prisoner obviously. We are supposed to be the good people. And we never learn no matter how often the bad people stab us in the back and escape.

Do you know what boost other tables might want?

Colthan flies in a loop and Evades. +2 to AC and TL.

"Taking evasive action."

"Full power to speed."

Colthan uses a resolve point to push the speed to 15 increasing the turn to 4. He moves 15 spaces turning twice. I've indicated the path on the map.

initiative for next round: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 20 + 2 = 36

I did in fact adjust the map and back up 5 spaces. We were right between them.

I did. Or do you mean for round 4?

"Can only avoid one of them."

Colthan performs the Back Off maneuver.

Auto pass the check. I moved the enemy ships up one and backed off 4 instead of 5 to keep everything on the map. No change in relative position though.

pilot initiative for next round if needed: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 20 + 2 = 28

pilot initiative including personal node bonus: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 2 = 37

"Will do."

Colthan will use the Broadside action to fire as many of the guns as possible.

I'm unsure which ones we can use so I'll roll all of them and we can use all that fit. Will use the node bonus and the bonus from The Tam on the missile. The other 3 bonuses will be used on the most damaging weapons in descending order but I won't add those to the roll.

Heavy Antimatter Missile Launcher including node bonus and Encourage bonus: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 14 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 17
damage: 10d10 ⇒ (10, 10, 5, 3, 6, 1, 3, 6, 6, 6) = 56

Persistent Particle Beam: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 14 - 2 = 15
damage: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 1, 3, 4, 5, 1, 3, 1) = 27

Light Particle Beam: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 14 - 2 = 19
damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 5) = 12

Coilgun Port: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 14 - 2 = 30
damage: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 2) = 7

Coilgun Forward: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 14 - 2 = 13
damage: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 1) = 6

Laser Net: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 14 - 2 = 15
damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

:(

I think that is the plan yes. With the idea of providing any bonuses to the rolls that are possible.

Fair enough.

This round Colthan scanned and Umbro piloted.

I can either Pilot next round or do gunnery next round. The node bonuses don't stack by the way.

The ship has

+2 to computers Only helps the Science Officer
+2 to 3 different checks Can help 3 different PCs.

Since Colthan has his own node he can add +2 to his check without using one of the 3 +2 bonuses.

I'm fine with whatever role you want but even Colthan can't be in 2 places at once. Yet.

Not unless Maggie slotted it.

Umbro has 8 BAB +5 from dex so +13 then +2 from the node.
Colthan had 8 ranks in Pilot +6 Dex for +14 then +2 from his own node.

Also Umbro is +18 on piloting while Colthan is +20.

So fairly close on both. If we don't need Engineering for repair but are close enough to fire the missiles then one of us can pilot and the other can fire.

+2 from the node technically. There is a separate bonus to Computer checks for the science officer. But otherwise correct on the bonus. As for the missiles we have 5? I think. Possibly we should save them for higher bonus gunners.

Next round Colthan will switch to Gunner unless our ship takes a lot of damage.

On reflection it is based on tier. At lower tiers there is a divide with Drake winning out at higher tier. And the Azata being Meme tier.

Tier 8 Drake adds +2 to any 3 checks from Trinode. I recommend bonus goes to the pilot. Colthan has extra node so doesn't need it. Tier 8 Pegasus has +3 to any 2 checks. Again recommending one goes to the pilot and an additional +1 to piloting.

"I'll scan the ships."

computers: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34 If we pick Drake add 4 to that, Pegasus add 7.

Ship combat tends to take a long time.

Umbro-187 took Defender of the Fleet but I'm not sure which bonus he picked.
Sister-Maggie didn't pick boons?
Colthan took extra node.
The Tam took Automated Defenses

Drake vs Pegasus is a often debated.
Drake is slower, less maneuverable, but much better weapons.

A good pilot can increase the maneuverability if needed,

Personally I'm in favor of Drake and using Defender of the Fleet to upgrade the weapons. Rerolling 1s on high damage weapons can really add up. And we want the combat to be over asap.

Credits on fancy new armor well spent. How long before the crowd clears out? With shooting going on I would think most of them are either cleared out or on the floor.

Glancing down to make sure Denanne is okay, Colthat continues to focus fire on the yellow suited Ysoki.

Take 10 for Trick again.

Trick attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
piercing damaga: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 = 14
trick damage: 4d8 ⇒ (6, 1, 1, 2) = 10

Colthan might have sensed yellow's presence. Not that it would have effected his actions.

"Does this place even have security?"

Using it's own com unit against it Colthat distracts the closest Ysoki.

Trick attack vs Yellow taking 10 for a 13.

ranged vs FF? KAC: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
piercing dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11
trick dmg: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 3) = 18

Colthan refuses to be drawn away from Denanne and simply moves to get a clear shot before firing at the other ysoki.

Kal Maar's suit becomes very distracting to the Ysoki.

Take 10 on Trick Attack for CR 13.

ranged vs KAC: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
piercing: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7
extra trick damage: 4d8 ⇒ (1, 6, 7, 3) = 17

"Keep your senses sharp for more of them."

I'm pretty sure it isn't hidden. Stealth is the skill it is using for Trick Attack but it isn't hiding.

"It's fortuitous that we are all wearing armor."

Colthan moves a bit keeping the light pointed at the stairs.
The Tam's armor suddenly flashes a dizzying array of colored lights while playing atonal Dub-Step, Momentarily distracting the red armored Ysoki.

Take 10 on Trick Attack effecting up to CR 13. If they are an Operative of level 7+ they are not flat-footed but they still take the extra damage.

ranged vs red's possibly FF KAC: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
piercing dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9
trick dmg: 4d8 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 5) = 10

The flashlight was actually to help civilians not get crushed. Your light might help with that if any remain. Colthan has Darkvision.

Does Starfinder have a way to recognize classes or abilities?

Reading the ability the extra damage is dealt on a successful trick roll but it could be relevant to know we cant flatfoot them if they are level 7+.

"Two ysoki coming in from the roof over Kal Maar. Let's focus on getting some light in here."

Colthan pulls a flashlight and lights up the stairs so the crowd doesn't crush each other getting out then he moves smoothly towards Denanne drawing his gun.

"Get under the table. Stay calm."

Hopefully she listened about the poisons. A reminder that Colthan has blindsense 60 feet if it comes up.

"I suggest leaving that card in a safe place. It may be needed later for a trial of some sort."

Colthan stays out in the open so he can keep track of several entrances and pathways.

Oh. Derp. I didn't connect the missions in my mind.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

Colthan glances at the card. "Lao Shu Po. Your concerns are not unfounded. Her worshipers are unsavory sorts to say the least. I would stock up on protections vs poisons if I were you. We will do what we can to stop overt threats."

take 20 on Culture using Library Chip looking up Baksu and Denanne Karrsi. Total of 43.

Colthan talks while doing some research.

"Ah a chance to do something good for corporate. Of course."

Seems like most of us are fine with Down to the Wire.

So Starship which I think we should avoid.

Combat + Survival
Combat + Investigation
Combat

Investigation could mean using social skills which the party is good at. Colthan is the only one with high Survival skills and we don't have casters for Life Bubble or curing poisons or diseases so lets skip Survival.

So I vote Universal Healthcare for Investigation or Down to the Wire for pure combat.
