My players want a trial to prove their innocence. They do not want to appear corrupt to free Wynsal. Spellcasters in the party almost always see the monsters make there saves, so spells fizzle. The mechanics are not working out.


Did anyone else have Flakfatter put up a fight before surrendering? With all of the nonlethal damage the PC's are distributing to their adversaries, wouldn't a little exhibition be advised. Flakfatter just giving in straight away doesn't sit well with me. My party would be sorely disappointed missing out on doling out some punishment.

What are the six Norgorberite poisoners using in order to fire down at anyone remaining in the chapel? The thrown daggers from 30 feet above in The Sanctuary of Prescience do not seem to be much of a threat as the book states.

May you please elaborate on what you mean by that?

I'm speaking on behalf of my players and the general attitude. My players grumble when they see enemies saves that are +20 or +22 on spells they cast. They are put off when many enemies were rolling +20 or +23 to the attack roll. However, I have been on a streak with rolling good. Looking at the Gamemastery Guide's Monster Builder, the numbers appear to be in the right areas, even though the party thinks different.

My weekly group as been around since 2012 playing Pathfinder AP's. They are known for mopping up encounters, room by room of combatants. I couldn't stop them at higher levels with doubling HP and adding mythic ranks. 2nd edition has given them incidental pause and unease with more of the monstrous threat coming back under my control to unleash at the adventurers.


I used Dungeon Draft to recreate the main dungeon map.

https://gmfacepalm.blogspot.com/

Tyrroicese was the worst thing about this book. My players ran around the map trying to fight the creature off for two hours. They eventually did but they were very upset with its stats. It was close to TPK's for many rounds.

Most sessions, my players are infuriated with the inflated enemy rolls.

One player pulled multiple monsters by running further ahead. Luckily they found the sanctuary in time.

The best parts; tripping Xitelberak... they turned a stalactite into a stalagmite. Danis “Dannicus” Tumblaro... tumblaro'd off the edge of the map, before any introductions were made, but after seeing the man fraught with indecision.


Is Jeremin Hoff in here with stats?


Battle Leader does so much damage on a critical.

3d12+6 !!!

The Haphazard Hack ability of +12 to hit took down 3 PC's over a few quick rounds. Level 1 PC's...

I'm running this today. Is it as difficult if the PCs aren't planning to solve everything via combat?

If they look beyond the combat, then I think it is manageable to succeed. Some of the guard npcs from gamemastery guide could help for backup.

The Knights Marvelous Menagerie is very difficult. The creatures are a few levels higher than the PC's.

Beaktooth - petrified one character and perma slowed another to just 1 action a turn.

Rusty - does a tremendous amount of damage to 1st level characters. One character was taken down quickly.

Chapter 2 appears easier with the creatures levels.

Debating on additional guard help or have the PC's level up in order to finish up the Menagerie.

This should be taken into consideration for calcification and slow.
Go to Update on calcification and slowed.


Thank you!


Can anyone share which Bestiary 1 and 2 creatures are in book 1?

Looks quite decent.

I'd personally give the Husks an extra 10 ft. base movement, or make the flight from the membranes similar to the Dragonkin, in that they need to be at least 5th level to fully fly. I'm not really convinced that +4 bonus vs radiation is on equal footing as a fly speed. :)

One tiny nitpit, monstrous humanoids don't generally have a subtype.

Thanks for the input. I will edit the write-up.


Bonus Item to be added to their background information.

REFLECTIVE JACKET Level 2
MAGIC ITEM (WORN) Price 850 BULK L
This scaled and fur trimmed leather jacket made from the hide of a sand brute functions as a travel outfit (Starfinder Core Rulebook 230). Once per day as a reaction, when struck by an attack from a weapon in the laser group, you can make a ranged attack against the EAC of an enemy within 15 feet. If it hits, you deal an amount of fire damage to that target equal to the damage you took. This ranged attack doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity.


Based on what I read of this scenario, here is what I was able to come up with for a playable race. Perhaps a fallen comrade is replaced with a ghibrani who wishes to follow along and learn what they can, eventually leaving Elytrio.

GHIBRANI RACIAL TRAITS
Ability Adjustments: See Subspecies.
Hit Points: 4
Size and Type: Ghibranis are Medium monstrous humanoids with the ghibrani subtype.
Desert Stride: Ghibrani can move through nonmagical difficult terrain in deserts, hills, and mountains at their normal speed.
Reciprocal: Ghibranis receive a +2 racial bonus to Diplomacy checks.
Subspecies: Ghibrani belong to one of two subspecies: Husk or Membrane. All ghibrani start with -2 Intelligence, +2 Charisma at character creation. Ghibrani Husks receive a +4 racial bonus to saving throws against radiation effects. Ghibrani Membranes gain an extraordinary flight speed of 30 feet with average maneuverability. Additionally, Ghibrani Husk are hardy and resilient (+2 Constitution), while Ghibrani Membranes are lithe and more graceful (+2 Dexterity).
Low-Light Vision: Ghibranis can see in dim light as if it were normal light. For more details, see page 264 of the core rulebook.

Zero session starts with Yesteryears Truth scenario. This is the test from recruiter Duravor Kreel for the applicants awaiting admittance for membership. Later on and back on Absalom Station, they may recall seeing someone at the Fusion Queen. That person will become all the more real and important when they are introduced to Fugitive on the Red Planet scenario. Much later, they can search for the initial vessel that was mentioned in Yesteryears Truth, which has gone missing, again another scenario adding to the longevity and variety of the campaign.


For those pending, are subscribers guaranteed a copy by the release date?


What is that thing coming out of the skittermamder stomach? Is that suppose to be a feeding tube for the infantile stage?


Any stats on Skittermanders? I got a player who wants to play one this week in Dead Suns and I'm still pending.


And another one if you want a neon wall for the main store and crates in the backroom

Bodega 4

Here's another one, I created it with Dungeon Painter Studio Altered Bodega


Looking for one more player to join our intrepid group featuring 1 GM and 4 PC's. We play weekly online using Maptool, a free program (rptools.net) used as our virtual tabletop and skype for audio chat. We have a closed facebook group for weekly updates and chatter. This open position would require active participation in our fb group, as well as a strong commitment for Saturday nights 8pm-12pm Eastern. The game style is equal parts roleplay and combat. I have been running Pathfinder using Maptool weekly since 2012. I have Gm'd all of Curse of The Crimson Throne, Jade Regent, Iron Gods, and Hell's Rebels. These Adventure Paths serve as examples of the level of commitment I bring to the table, but also to those who have stuck around. I intend to run the complete Dead Suns Adventure Path while adding in Starfinder Society scenarios to lengthen the campaign. Our Starfinder game will launch in a couple weeks. We are currently finishing up Hell Rebels volume 6. During that time, I can review any posts on here for those interested. You are welcome to join in on our Pathfinder sessions to get a feel if our group is right for you.

I have asked the group to create a primary character and a secondary character. The secondary would serve as replacement for death or retirement. The following is what the group has come up with so far.

Android Operative -primary, Vesk Shotgun Soldier-secondary. Ysoki Mechanic -primary, no secondary Human Solarian -primary, no secondary Elf Technomancer -primary, Human or Half-Elf Mystic -secondary

A few of my posts at the blogspot link below features a few images of the game simulation.

I would like to but I don't think I can share the campaign file which contains tokens and maps that I believe would unfortunately violate Paizo's IP. Unless they are willing to say otherwise on here. I can however share the framework for starship combat and help with any advice or questions.


For those interested

https://gmfacepalm.blogspot.com/

Having gm'd all of Crimson Throne, Jade Regent, Iron Gods, and Hell's Rebels, I'm going to start documenting my path into Starfinder detailing the highlights and building processes of weekly gaming.


Bodega is here.
googe drive


Wanted to see about creating a small community/network of people who use maptools, or those interested in using the virtual tabletop. I have all of the tokens and macro commands finished for book 1. I plan on running this soon and will add the other books into the program. One of my players built the framework for starship combat. Everything is looking great.


I made a small map of the bodega. I can send it to you later today.


Thank you for this! Awesome job.

FAUN 9RP

FAUN RACIAL TRAITS

+2 Dexterity, -­2 Wisdom, +2 Charisma: Fauns are agile and attractive but are prone to poor decision making.

Medium: Fauns are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Normal Speed: Fauns have a base speed of 30 feet.

Low­Light Vision: In dim light, fauns can see twice as far as humans.

Faun Magic: Fauns gain a +1 bonus to the DC of any saving throw against enchantment spells that they cast. Faun’s with a Charisma score of 11 or higher also gain the following spell­like abilities: 1/day ­­ ghost sound, hideous laughter, and sleep. The caster level for these effects is equal to the faun’s level. The DC for the spell­like abilities is equal to 10 + the spell’s level + the faun’s Charisma modifier.

Fey Defense: Fauns gain DR 2/cold iron.

Muse: Fauns receive a +2 racial bonus on a Performance skill of their choice.

Forest Strider: Fauns can move through natural difficult terrain at their normal speed while within forests. Magically altered terrain affects them normally.

Languages: Fauns begin play speaking Common and Sylvan. Fauns with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following languages: Draconic, Elven, Goblin, Gnome, Halfling, Terran, and Orc.

 

ALTERNATE RACIAL TRAITS

Goat Eyes: Some fauns have rectangular pupils that allow panoramic viewing. Fauns receives a +2 to Perception checks. This racial trait replaces fey defense.

Mountain Goat: Fauns are immune to altitude sickness and do not lose their Dexterity bonus to AC when making Climb checks or Acrobatics checks to cross narrow or slippery surfaces. This racial trait replaces forest strider.


Im not very strong with the rules yet i,m attempting to make a shobhad with a racial archetype similar to the dual bow wielding kasatha archetype. What if you used the same wording of the bow nomad but for dual 2 THW.

How is the wording on this?

At 1st level, can simultaneously wield a combination of two of any two-handed weapons. When it makes a full attack with dual two-handed weapons, two-weapon penalties apply and can be offset with Two-Weapon Fighting feats. Since two-handed weapons aren't light weapons, a shobhad with Two-Weapon Fighting takes a –4 penalty on attacks with each of his weapons. Extra attacks from other sources, such as those granted by Cleave or Great Cleave, can be applied to only one of the wielded weapons per round.


How overpowered could it be without it being timeworn?


Capacity of 10.

Found it on d20pfsrd.

How is the leshy subtype a 10rp thing?

Lesser leshys, either weaklings or hybrids, have not inherited the full capabilities of their race. The original subtype (16 RP) benefits from (4 RP) Elemental Immunity Electricity + (4 RP) Elemental Immunity Sonic. Instead, switch out both Elemental Immunities with Elemental Resistance. Doing so will produce 10 RP total for the subtype as detailed below.

(2 RP) Darkvision
(-1 RP) Low-Light Vision (negative value, already gains this trait from plant type)
(1 RP) Elemental Resistance Electricity
(1 RP) Elemental Resistance Sonic
(3 RP) Constant Spell-Like Transmutation
(3 RP) Change Shape
(1 RP) Plantspeech
(0 RP) Verdant Burst

The lesser leshy is an approach to introduce a character race that can be used with any other core race or standard race in the game. Such examples of balanced play are the Gourd and Leaf Leshy.

Should you have concern about whether to allow monstrous races (+20 RP) into your game, such as the Seaweed or Flytrap Leshy, consider one of the following character creation guideline alternatives:
• Standard Races 20 Point Buy, Advanced Races 15 Point Buy, and Monstrous Races 10 Point Buy.
• Standard/Advanced Races 15 Point Buy and Monstrous Races 10 Point Buy.
• Use the party's calculated average RP (ARG pg.219) for an adjusted APL.

♦ Homebrew suggestion: Leadership Feat and choosing PC Monstrous Races as cohorts.

Monstrous Races as Cohorts (assuming 10 Point Buy character creation guideline for +20 RP race)
Monstrous NPC's:
The ability scores for an NPC monstrous race (+20 RP) are: 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9.

I made these awhile back after inspiration grew from watching an episode of Thundercats (new episodes), featuring a leshy-like race.

LESHY, FULL (22 – 35 RP)
The lesser leshys are a less powerful version of the leshy subtype. The original subtype (16 RP) benefits from (4 RP) Elemental Immunity Electricity and (4 RP) Elemental Immunity Sonic.

Cactus Leshy, Lesser:

LESHY, CACTUS, LESSER (24 RP)

LESSER CACTUS LESHY RACIAL TRAITS
-2 Strength, +2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence, +2 Charisma: Cactus leshys are hardy and companionable but weak and slow-witted.
Cactus Leshy: Cactus leshys are plants with the leshy and shapechanger subtypes. They have the following features:
• Immune to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms).
• Immune to paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep effects, and stunning.
• Gain electricity resistance 5, and sonic resistance 5.
• Breathe and eat, but do not sleep unless they want to gain some beneficial effect from this activity. This means that they can sleep in order to regain spells, but sleep is not required to survive or stay in good health.
Small: Cactus leshys are Small creatures and gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a 1 penalty to their CMB and CMD, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth Checks.
Slow Speed: Cactus leshys have a base speed of 20 feet.
Darkvision: Cactus leshys can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Low-Light Vision: Cactus leshys can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.
Change Shape (Su): All leshys can transform into plants, with results similar to the tree shape spell. Unlike that spell, this ability only allows transformation into a small cactus plant of the same type of growth the leshy is related to. The leshy gains a +10 racial bonus on Disguise checks while in this form. A leshy can assume plant form or revert to its true form as a swift action.
Elusive Survivalist: Cactus leshys gain a +4 racial bonus on Stealth and Survival checks in deserts.
Leave no mark: All leshys have pass without trace as a constant spell-like ability. The caster level is equal to character level.
Natural Attack: Cactus leshys receive slam as a primary natural attack, dealing 1d3 damage.
Needle: A cactus leshy can fire a needle as a ranged attack. If it hits, this attack deals 1 point of piercing damage (this damage is not modified by Strength) and remains lodged in place. The target also receives the leshys spine effect. This attack has a 20-foot range increment.
Plantspeech: All leshys can speak with plants as if subject to a continual speak with plants spell, but only with species they are related to (cacti).
Spine: A cactus leshy is riddled in needles and anytime it takes damage from a natural attack, the attacker receives 1 point of piercing damage (this damage is not modified by Strength) while the spines remain lodged in place. The target receives 1 point of bleed damage each round until the barbed spine is cut out with a bladed weapon or otherwise removed by spending a full round action to do so. Any creature involved in a grapple with you automatically takes one point of piercing damage once per round at the beginning of your turn. The grappler also receives the leshy spine effect (bleed).
Verdant Burst (Su): When slain, a leshy explodes in a burst of fertile energies. All plant creatures within 30 feet of a slain leshy heal 1d8 points of damage plus 1 point per HD of the slain leshy, and plant life of the same type as the leshy itself quickly infests the area. If the terrain can support this type of plant, the undergrowth is dense enough to make the region into difficult terrain for 24 hours, after which the plant life diminishes to a normal level; otherwise, the plant life has no significant effect on movement and withers and dies within an hour.
Languages: Cactus leshys begin play speaking Common and either Druidic or Sylvan. Cactus leshys with high intelligence scores can choose from the following. Draconic, Druidic, Giant, Gnoll, Osiriani, Sylvan, and Terran.

The grappler also receives the leshy spine effect (bleed).

Cactus leshys tend to the silent barren of the sandsea. In appearance they have rigged, pulpy-looking bodies. They can bare random deserts flowers and prickly fruits or cactus fig amid long needles. Intimately connected to the sun, cactus leshy see to the growth or health of those in need along the arid wastes. Despite being highly companionable, they are quick to defend themselves should they encounter danger. When not laboring or tending to others, they take up ritualistic practices in exercising unmoving stances in respect to the often still desert. Cactus leshy are spawned from realms of desert sands and barren lands or an oasis of the natural world

Flytrap Leshy, Lesser:

LESHY, FLYTRAP, LESSER (25 RP)

LESSER FLYTRAP LESHY RACIAL TRAITS
+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, -4 Intelligence, -2 Charisma: Flytrap Leshys are fast and physically strong however they are rather dull-witted having trouble with other races because of their tendency of trying to eat them.
Flytrap Leshy: Flytrap Leshys are plants with the Leshy and shapechanger subtypes. They have the following features:
• Immune to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms).
• Immune to paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep effects, and stunning.
• Gain electricity resistance 5, and sonic resistance 5.
• Breathe and eat, but do not sleep unless they want to gain some beneficial effect from this activity. This means that they can sleep in order to regain spells, but sleep is not required to survive or stay in good health.
Small: Flytrap Leshys are Small creatures and gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a 1 penalty to their CMB and CMD, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth Checks.
Slow Speed: Flytrap Leshys have a base speed of 20 feet and a climb speed of 10 feet.
Darkvision: Flytrap Leshys can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Low-Light Vision: Flytrap Leshys can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.
Change Shape (Su): All Leshys can transform into plants, with results similar to the tree shape spell. Unlike that spell, this ability only allows transformation into a small Flytrap plant of the same type of growth the Leshy is related to. The Leshy gains a +10 racial bonus on Disguise checks while in this form. A Leshy can assume plant form or revert to its true form as a swift action.
Elusive Survivalist: Flytap Leshys gain a +4 racial bonus on Stealth and Survival checks in swamps, jungles and undergrowth.
Leave no mark: All Leshys have pass without trace as a constant spell-like ability. The caster level is equal to character level.
Natural Attack: Flytrap Leshys receive Bite as a primary natural attack, dealing 1d4 points of damage.
Engulf: The Flytrap Leshy can uncannily elongate and disgorge its head in an attempt to engulf a creature its size or smaller with a successful grapple check. Flytrap Leshys cannot make other attacks during a round in which they engulf. Targeted creatures can make attacks of opportunity against you, but if they do so, they are not entitled to a saving throw against the engulf attack. Those who do not attempt attacks of opportunity can attempt a Reflex save (DC 10 plus ½ character level plus strength modifier) to avoid being engulfed—on a success, they are pushed back or aside (target’s choice). Engulfed opponents gain the pinned condition, are in danger of suffocating, are trapped within the Leshy’s body until they are no longer pinned. While pinned, as a swift action, the Leshy's cavity floods with digestive enzymes, dealing 1d4 points of acid damage, and 1d4 points of acid damage the following round. Add 1 point of damage for every three levels you possess.
Plantspeech: All Leshys can speak with plants as if subject to a continual speak with plants spell, but only with species they are related to (Flytrap).
Verdant Burst (Su): When slain, a Leshy explodes in a burst of fertile energies. All plant creatures within 30 feet of a slain Leshy heal 1d8 points of damage plus 1 point per HD of the slain Leshy, and plant life of the same type as the Leshy itself quickly infests the area. If the terrain can support this type of plant, the undergrowth is dense enough to make the region into difficult terrain for 24 hours, after which the plant life diminishes to a normal level; otherwise, the plant life has no significant effect on movement and withers and dies within an hour.
Vulnerable: Flytrap Leshys take 150% as much damage as normal from cold attacks, unless they are immune to cold via other special defenses.
Languages: Flytrap Leshys begin play speaking Common and either Druidic or Sylvan. Flytrap Leshys with high intelligence scores can choose from the following. Aklo, Boggard, Draconic, Druidic, Elven, Sylvan, and Terran.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Engulf: The Flytrap Leshy can uncannily elongate and disgorge its head in an attempt to engulf a creature its size or smaller with a successful grapple check. Flytrap Leshys cannot make other attacks during a round in which they engulf. Targeted creatures can make attacks of opportunity against you, but if they do so, they are not entitled to a saving throw against the engulf attack. Those who do not attempt attacks of opportunity can attempt a DC 11 Reflex save to avoid being engulfed—on a success, they are pushed back or aside (target’s choice). Engulfed opponents gain the pinned condition, are in danger of suffocating, are trapped within the Leshy’s body until they are no longer pinned. While pinned, as a swift action, the Leshy's cavity floods with digestive enzymes, dealing 1d4 points of acid damage, and 1d4 points of acid damage the following round. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Flytrap leshys tend to jungles and swamps. In appearance they have soft, pulpy-looking bodies. Intimately connected to undergrowth vistas, flytrap leshys see to the need of others who find themselves lost or otherwise chanced upon, and swiftly tending to their own ravenous needs instead. They are alarmingly quick to devour anyone they encounter. Things were not always this way for the flytrap leshy, stories of old speak of benevolent guardians. Yet they were the first and last of all leshys to taste the flesh of non-plant matter, forever changing their clan customs in place of insatiable desire. When deprived of food for too long, they become weakened, rooting their unmoving stance while awaiting sustenance. Some know to keep their distance, a rare few have been able to communicate without immediate threat.

Fungus Leshy, Lesser:

LESHY, FUNGUS, LESSER (29 RP)

LESSER FUNGUS LESHY RACIAL TRAITS
+2 Constitution, -4 Intelligence, +2 Charisma: Fungus leshys are hale and possess forceful personalities but slow-witted.
Fungus Leshy: Fungus leshys are plants with the leshy and shapechanger subtypes. They have the following features:
• Immune to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms).
• Immune to paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep effects, and stunning.
• Gain electricity resistance 5, and sonic resistance 5.
• Breathe and eat, but do not sleep unless they want to gain some beneficial effect from this activity. This means that they can sleep in order to regain spells, but sleep is not required to survive or stay in good health.
Small: Fungus leshys are Small creatures and gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a 1 penalty to their CMB and CMD, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth Checks.
Slow Speed: Fungus leshys have a base speed of 20 feet.
Darkvision: Fungus leshys can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Low-Light Vision: Fungus leshys can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.
Change Shape (Su): All leshys can transform into plants, with results similar to the tree shape spell. Unlike that spell, this ability only allows transformation into a small fungus plant of the same type of growth the leshy is related to. The leshy gains a +10 racial bonus on Disguise checks while in this form. A leshy can assume plant form or revert to its true form as a swift action.
Elusive Survivalist: Seaweed leshys gain a +4 racial bonus on Stealth and Survival checks in swamps and underground.
Leave no mark: All leshys have pass without trace as a constant spell-like ability. The caster level is equal to character level.
Natural Attacks: Fungus leshys receive bite as a primary natural attack, or a secondary attack if wielding manufactured weapons, dealing 1d2 damage. Fungus leshy also receive two claws attack. These are primary natural attacks, dealing 1d3 damage.
Plantspeech: All leshys can speak with plants as if subject to a continual speak with plants spell, but only with species they are related to (fungi).
Puffball: A fungus leshy can spit a puffball as a standard action. If it hits, this attack deals 1 point of damage (this damage is not modified by Strength) and affects the target struck (but not adjacent targets) with the fungus leshys spores. The puffball has a range increment of 20 feet.
Spores: A fungus leshy is riddled with molds and spores. Anytime a fungus leshy takes damage, a cloud of spores bursts from its body, forcing all adjacent creatures to make a Fortitude save DC (10 + ½ character level + Constitution modifier) or have their vision reduced to 10 feet for 1d4 rounds. Spending a full-round action to wash one's eyes with water ends this effect.
Verdant Burst (Su): When slain, a leshy explodes in a burst of fertile energies. All plant creatures within 30 feet of a slain leshy heal 1d8 points of damage plus 1 point per HD of the slain leshy, and plant life of the same type as the leshy itself quickly infests the area. If the terrain can support this type of plant, the undergrowth is dense enough to make the region into difficult terrain for 24 hours, after which the plant life diminishes to a normal level; otherwise, the plant life has no significant effect on movement and withers and dies within an hour.
Languages: Fungus leshys begin play speaking Common and either Druidic or Sylvan. Fungus leshys with high intelligence scores can choose from the following. Aklo, Boggard, Draconic, Druidic, Dwarven, Sylvan, and Terran.

Keepsake (Su): Gourd leshys can pop off the top of their heads and store a single Fine-sized object such as a dagger or potion inside.

When flying, a leaf leshy glides and must end its movement at least 5 feet lower in elevation than it started.

LESHY ALTERNATE RACIAL TRAITS

Fertile Soil: Sorcerers with the verdant bloodline (seaweed leshy use aquatic bloodline) treat their Charisma score as 2 points higher for all sorcerer spells and class abilities. Clerics with the Plant domain (seaweed leshy use Ocean Domain) (cactus leshy use Desert Domain) use their domain powers and spells at +1 caster level.

Feats, Leshy (all):

LESHY FEATS
Fertilizer
Prerequisite: Fungus Leshy
Benefit: Once per day as a full round action you may feed from the decaying organic material of corpse’s less than one week old. You consume residual negative energy from their death along with the organic sustenance in fertilizing new life, restoring 2 points of damage per character level. You may also regrow lost limbs and other extremities in this fashion. A lost limb is regrown after regaining 25% of your maximum hit points. Using this ability also provides the leshy with one meal’s worth of nourishment.

Photosynthetic Healing
Prerequisite: Cactus, Flytrap, Gourd, or Leaf Leshy
Benefit: Leshys can heal themselves when exposed to sunlight. In sunlit conditions (magical or true), once per day as a standard action, the leashy can heal 2 points of damage per character level. You may also regrow lost limbs and other extremities in this fashion. A lost limb is regrown after regaining 25% of your maximum hit points. Using this ability also provides the leshy with one meal’s worth of nourishment.

Photosynthetic Hydration
Prerequisite: Seaweed Leshy
Benefit: Once per day as a standard action, when exposed to direct sunlight while submerged in saltwater, the leashy can heal 2 points of damage per character level. You may also regrow lost limbs and other extremities in this fashion. A lost limb is regrown after regaining 25% of your maximum hit points. Fresh water, brackish water, stagnant, poisoned, or trapped water (such as water within an artificial pit or a bag of holding) does not activate this ability. Using this ability also provides the leshy with one meal’s worth of nourishment.

Grow Armor
Prerequisite: Leshy
Benefit: You may grow a suit of armor of a limited type related to the leshy, see table below. This armor is treated as though it were masterwork, weightless for determining encumbrance, and may be enchanted. You may also shed this armor and regrow a new suit of your choice by spending 24 hours in a shedding ritual.

I made a tech vehicle since book 3 suggested it. Made a hover cycle. Used two in the arena. Working on Dusklight.

Technological Artifact

Graviton Cycle
Slot none; Weight 425 lbs.; Capacity -; Usage -
DESCRPTION
The graviton cycle is a technological vehicle comprised of little more than a sturdy metal frame, a power source, a seat, and no wheels. The graviton cycle hovers just above the ground and is not affected by difficult terrain. The cycle is remarkably sturdy and well suited to the rigors of Numeria’s barren wastelands. Due to its size, the vehicle is only considered a Medium object when not in use.

Large Land Vehicle
Squares 2 (5 ft. by 10 ft.; 5 ft. high)
DEFENSE
AC 13 (+4 armor, -1 size); Hardness 15
Hit Points 116 (57)
Base Save +2
OFFENSE
Maximum Speed 120 ft.
Acceleration 60 ft.
Attack ram 1d8
CMB 1; CMD 11
DRIVE
Propulsion Graviton Drive (1 square of energy drive; hardness 10, hp 60; extreme device); graviton drive located within the driving space, beneath the driver
Driving Check Acrobatics or Knowledge (engineering)
Forward Facing the vehicle’s forward
Driving Device steering bar, throttle and brake
Driving Space a single 5-ft.-by-5-ft. square that contains the steering bar, throttle and brake that serve as the cycles’ driving device; the driving space is located directly in the middle of the vehicle’s space, and shares this space with the vehicle’s energy drive.
Passengers 1 (a single medium passenger may share the driving space, just behind the driver, however, this causes the space to become cramped, imposing a -4 penalty to the driver’s driving checks.)
LOAD
There is ample room along the rear of the vehicle, in which 2 backpacks may be mounted for storage utility.
FEATURES
Glaucite Armor (light): The vehicle gains a +4 armor bonus to AC from a lightweight polymer resembling glaucite.
Illuminators: A pair of bright technological lights are mounted on the vehicle. These give off normal light in a 60 foot cone in front of the vehicle and increase the light level by one step out to a 120 foot cone beyond that. These draw upon the same power source that powers the vehicle, allowing them to give off light as long as the vehicle’s engine is powered. The pilot can light or douse these lights as a swift action.

GRAVITON DRIVE
YIELD 100 FORT +5 Hardness 10 HP 60
EXPLOSION 3d6 bludgeoning, 3d6 electricity, and 3d6 force (25-ft. radius; Reflex DC20; see text)
A graviton drive functions as a portable graviton reactor and functions in the same manner as a power generator. The graviton drive produces a low yield of self-sustaining energy. It’s fairly quiet while running, generating little more than a low-frequency hum. Damage caused by a graviton drive consists of an implosion rather than a classic explosion. On the round following this implosion, all objects and creatures in the blast radius suffer the explosion damage again as they are then hurled back outward. No radiation is generated by a portable graviton generator, and creatures and objects outside the blast radius can escape relatively unharmed (apart from possible damage resulting from objects that are hurled beyond the blast radius). It is unknown how long a uniquely rare portable generator can sustain itself.


Lesser Vegepygmy (18 RP)

Lesser vegepygmy have not inherited the full capabilities of their race. Either weaklings or hybrids, many strike out on their own, to explore the greater world. This is a balanced player character race that can be used with any other core race or standard race in the game.

Lesser Vegepygmy Racial Traits
+2 Dexterity, +2 Wisdom, -2 Intelligence: Vegepygmy are fast and insightful but relatively dull-witted.
Subtype: Varies. Choose one other humanoid race to represent your former life. You gain that race type as a subtype, and also count as that race for all effects. You do not gain any bonuses or penalties, nor other abilities associated with that race.
Plant: Vegepygmy are plants, possessing the following features:
• Immune to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms).
• Immune to paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep effects, sonic, and stunning.
• Gain resistance 5 to electricity.
• Breathe and eat, but do not sleep unless they want to gain some beneficial effect from this activity. This means that they can sleep in order to regain spells, but sleep is not required to survive or stay in good health.
Small: Vegepygmy are Small creatures and gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a -1 penalty to their CMB and CMD, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth Checks.
Normal Speed: Vegepygmy have a base speed of 30 feet
Damage Reduction: Vegepygmy gain DR 5 / slashing or bludgeoning.
Darkvision: Vegepygmy can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Low-Light Vision: Vegepygmy can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.
Elusive: Vegepygmy gain a +4 racial bonus on Stealth checks, this bonus increase to +8 if they are in vegetation.
Verbal Component Vulnerability: Vegepygmy are unable to cast any spell that only requires verbal as the spell casting component (such as blur, blindness/deafeness, power word kill). However, vegepygmyies crude form of communal language does not interfere with multiple component spellcasting that includes verbal. The verbal components are sounds that are not tied to a specific spoken language when they are used in conjunction with somatic and/or material components.
Languages: Vegepygmy begin play understanding Undercommon and Vegepygmy, but cannot speak actual words. Vegepygmies communicate via a crude language of rhythmic taps, beats, hoots, whistles, and clicks. One way to make themselves understood is through pantomime. While overly complex conversations are not possible, a DC 10 Linguistics check should allow simple communication (such as buying something). More complex communication (such as getting directions) requires a DC 20 Linguistics check. Vegepygmy with high intelligence can choose from the following languages: Aklo, Dwarf, Common, Elven, Sylvan, Terran, and the primary language of their former life.

Alternate Racial Traits
Clawed: Some vegepygmy receive two claw attacks. These are primary attacks, dealing damage based on size. This trait replaces darkvision.
Putrescence: Some vegepygmy have a natural ability to sniff out decaying organic matter. This functions like the scent ability, but only for corpses and badly wounded creatures (creatures with 25% or fewer hit points). This trait replaces damage reduction.
Flora Symbiosis: All vegepygmy can empathically communicate with plants as if subject to a continual speak with plants spell. This trait replaces darkvision.

Vegepygmy Race Traits
Botanic Oculus: Your connection to flora is exceptionally strong. As a swift action, you gain greensight to a range of 60 feet. This effect lasts 1 minute. You can use this ability once per day at 1st level, plus one additional time per day at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, to a maximum of five times per day at 20th level.
Bone Collector: You gain a +1 trait bonus on all Craft (weapons) checks when making bone weapons, and reducing the cost of making the item by 5%. You also gain a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls made with weapons which include bone in their design.
Bone/Wood Affinity: You may reduce the Armor Check Penalty of bone/wooden armor and shields by 1.

Verbal Component Alternative
Their crude form of language does not interfere with spellcasting, but it does apply to spells that are language dependent. When casting a spell that is solely verbal for component requirements, a natural primal magic events occurs. The primal magic event’s CR is equal to caster level.

This following is the monstrous race version which can be used in high-powered campaigns with the permission of your GM. It is far more powerful than other starting races, though, and it can unbalance a beginning game.

Concerning Dusklight:

Anyone plan on introducing the jet-propelled floating vehicle for local transport? If so, which land vehicle would you modify in order to present this?


How is Whiskifiss able to control Chirpus or have it fear him? Curious about the monster training aspects with an aberration. How would a PC Hunter class learn such techniques from Whiskifiss.

Your version looks like a LOT more fun and balanced, nice!

Happy to help. For all your race needs Youtube GM Facepalm operating under no monetary value.

And on a much more minor note, why hallit instead of androffan? I'd have them know common and androffan (the language spoken by their creators) off the bat, then with high intelligence they can learn whatever else is common in Numeria (orc and hallit come to mind but I can't remember what the others were).

It should probably be written as Mannequin robots begin play speaking Common and Androffan or Hallit.

My only questions are are the variants still feats in the method you used, or do they work like alternate race traits?

The variants are racial subtypes and work like alternate racial traits, normally they combine to preexisting traits, adding to the RP total.

The Rescue variant is an example where traits are added, not replaced. 33 RP total.
The Athlete variant is an example where a trait is replaced, yet another is added in. 34 RP total.
