Sorry for asking so many noob questions. I'm still feeling a little overwhelmed by the setting.

My basic problem is that I'm not "into" reading big thick rulebooks, so I skim things and then end up feeling a little lost by the background of the setting.

My question is: where is the best place to find information about the basics of the standard StarFinder setting? (I own the core rulebook and the alien archive. The "Pact Worlds" book is in my local game store, but I'm afraid that if I buy it I just won't read it.)

Anyone have some advice on this?

I finally got a chance to play STARFINDER last Sunday and I had fun. The GM gave me a technomage pregen from the online files and at the end said that I had earned 1 XP which I could apply to a character that I made sometime.

I really enjoyed the technomage and was thinking about keeping all of the stats, spells, abilities, etc., unchanged and just continuing to play that character from there.

So my question is: are the pregen characters Society legal as-is, or did they "cheat" in creation in order to give a new player more stuff to do than the rules allow?
