Gonna throw in my 2cr on this since I'm currently boggled by this change in game mechanics (not the only one in Starfinder).

I dont see any real justification to change what Pathfinder has done just fine, in my opinion.

I will be looking into simply adding in the feats that help a player reduce the penalty for firing two weapons and allowing them to fire both during a round just like pathfinder.

However, with regards to extending that to characters with more pairs of limbs, I would suggest this requires more feats. You can duel wield with a -4 or take two feats that will reduce this to -2. If you want to use more limbs, then there are two feats that will allow additional pairs of limbs. OR simply state that its not possible due to the limitations of all the current races to process that information.

I'd really like to play that out and see just how bad it is?

So my two cents on this because this is a great thread on a topic that players will naturally question.

Pathfinder uses BPs for a number of things. They are not interchangable with Cr/Gp/XP. Balance is the reason why each of these currencies are kept seperate. Only for the moments when the party needs to sqeeze BP to get money should a GM allow this and even then very sparringly.

So, if you do not make BP = money then they need to track the BPs worth of stuff they have. How I handle it is, sure you can steal a ship..but where are you gonna dismantle it? In starfinder things are made with UMPs each one (in my mind) is registered an any legal port will recognize you have tampered or stolen goods upon scanning your ship as you dock.

So you need a black port..or a pirate base...or your own base...then you gotta bribe people and you gotta hire crew and equipment. When all is said and done the party can come away with a few BPs that should be equivalent to an adventures rewards in CR/GP. But it REMAINS BP...they can then use that to buy upgrades later, or barter with it (we have a partially damaged hyperdrive, will you take that along with some credits for that blaster?)

Thats how I'm going to deal with Kingmaker BP/ Starship BP/ Whatever BP (and they are all seperate...stones for making a building are not the same as starship parts).

IF the party is desperate for cash then it maybe possible to sell a BP or two for credits..and even then demand is poor since its so hard to sell the parts on the open market at face value.

Let the players use their face to make rolls and play up the value to gain more. But without effort comes little return!

Regardless I'm looking for face-2-face at this time.

I'll flag my own post, and have a moderator move it back to Gamer Connection (where it should be). I'd love to play but Albuquerque New Mexico is about 2000+ miles from where I live in New York....

Bummer, ya that makes the commute a long one. If all goes well and I go online/offline mix with this I will be here looking for players :)

I have not actually played Starfinder but am very interested in it.

Great, I tried to PM you but this software dosn't have that feature??

Greetings the paizo web site is confusing. And it got moved by a moderator so not sure whats going on.

Regardless I'm looking for face-2-face at this time. I have however, used roll20.net in the past for pathfinder and may do so again if I get enough support and players for it.

I got a custom table made with a 50" tv embedded in it and have been using it for an Augmented gaming experience...

I will be monitoring this and will attempt to contact those who are interested.
