I think the Pactwords as a whole are protected by the Stewards but maybe each planet and Absolom Station has a militia.

Pretty sure The Stewards are the military that oversees protecting Absolom Station.

I agree with HMM, any other read is silly and deliberately adversarial and maliciously pedantic. Boon wording is like a contract and unclear or confusing wording should always favor the side with less authority.

If I was a betting man I would say one of the first 5 books will have a lot more deities in it or be a Divinities of the Galaxy type book.

Creatures only have reach if they say it in their stat block and from the additional resources page for Galaxy guide...

Rulings and Clarifications
The Don’t Touch That! feat (xenoarcheologist archetype, page 120) is a 4th-level feat. The Ready for Trouble feat (page 120) requires expert proficiency in Thievery.
The Diplomacy bonus from the xenodruid’s Planetary Bond feat (page 123) is a circumstance bonus.
The Cellular Acceleration feat (astrazoan ancestry feat, page 133) is a two-action activity.
Remove the linguistic trait from the Telepredict feat (contemplative ancestry feat, page 140).
Large PCs do not have an increased reach natively, though some feats may increase their reach.

Pathfinder second edition content is not permitted for use in Starfinder second edition unless specifically mentioned on the Character Options page for Starfinder second edition (and vice versa).

What about with the Golarion Human Heritage and its weapon proficiency? Or the Plated Vesk for Runes on its body?

Can mundane archaic weapons from Pathfinder be purchased without a feat or do you need feats or heritage access to use them?

I like the more old school magic feel of schools being actual schools and traditions and not semi-sciencey break downs of magic.

Could be worse it could have gotten shipped to an old address.

My Battlecry! still hasn't shipped and in fact the authorization on it expired, and it has been 3 days since I sent a message about my Starfinder being shipped to the wrong address with no response.

Stil waiting on battlecry to ship, and still waiting for a response on my email about them shipping my starfinder to the wrong address.

Sadly they shipped my Starfinder Core to a very old address, that I can not get to. I've sent a message to customer service I hope they can fix it since my subscription address is listed as my current address.

Anyone know when subscription orders start spawning?

I bet both of the separate deities have cults that worship them still. It seems a logical idea and doubtful that the combined deity would cut off their worshipers for such an ideology.

Hmm I missed that Area Attack is two action which does put an end to that tactic, unwieldy seems a little redundant on those weapons then.

The loop I've fallen into at low level was supercharge weapon into Overclock Gear, then injury echo into a Strike (and then stumble into a Strike after that unless I need to spend actions doing something else). It's actually quite strong at that level, but it better be given that you spend your entire first turn setting up. I also fear that at high level, that part of the Technomancer may fall off quite badly, as not even the partial cover negation would make up for the comparative -4 to your attack rolls at that stage.

An Area Effect Weapon that is overclocked makes up for not having good attack rolls at higher levels I think. Play tested Wheel of Monsters at 10th level as a Tehcnomancer wit a Stellar Cannon and didn't worry about attack rolls got to do one shot with an unwieldy weapon and one spell around doing pretty good AoE damage with both. Not the Highest damage per round of our group but the most consistent over time

Was she Max Schreck's acting coach? All signs point to 'no' but I'm going to wildly speculate regardless. If it's good enough for the 'History' Channel, it's good enough for me.

That last part wins the internet.

So I was told that they do not refund Ancestry boons unless you haven't played them even with this rebuild.

I am looking forward to a reset when editions change it makes things easier.

Ibra's favored weapon is plasma rife but it doesnt seem to be in the book? Is this meant to be the plasma caster?

I couldn't find it, but admit I might have missed it. Will Starfinder Society reset like pathfinder society did when we changed additions and new stuff will be SFS 2e characters starting with a new -01 character?

I hear there are a lot of Lawyers there.

Rovagug is my guess as his death triggers an end to the uneasy truce the gods had to keep him imprisoned and a rash of wars break out with godly avatars being seen, slain, and rise again.

The knife is the wand, you dont use it to make wands.

I think Abadar is kind of Helmy, god of banks , gods of civilization and the guardian at the gate.

I would love to see a class that works like a wizard but with Divine Spells, like learning them in a Ritual book and being unfettered from a god.

One of my biggest disappointments in SF1 was how hard it was to play say a fighter pilot and have that matter. Many of "our" classic sci-fi heroes are fighter pilots and with the starship system as it is , that is really hard to do.

Aroden , god of Humanity or Dead Beat Daddy Deity? a Zo! exclusive....

I think the biggest related issue I've come across is "what if the player want an archetype, but the archetype they have their heart set on isn't available at level 2". If you want to be an eldritch archer, there are archetypes which have 3 feats available before level 6 so you can get out of it in time by spending a skill feat on an archetype feat (e.g. Medic can do this).

But one of the "Strength of Thousands" characters we've discussed is someone who is world class at rituals but can't manage to cast during the stress of combat, which would naturally be modeled with the ritualist archetype on a rogue or investigator chassis. The problem is that the Ritualist dedication isn't available until level 4.

So how do you handle this character who is granted archetype feats from the Free Archetype Variant at levels where they do not want to use them? Buying another archetype would delay Ritualist progress, so is this character just "one feat down" compared to everyone else?

Are you running free archetype on top of the free archetypes you get in strength of thousands? Because that game is specific that you need to pick Wizard or Druid as your archetype

I suppose it depends on what one means with ninja Deadly Martial Artist,Mystic Assassin, or even peasant folk hero.

Samurai is pretty much covered under champion or Cavalier, "Ninja" as a mystic assassin type of thing might be good for a new rogue racket focused on Illusion and stealth over everything else.

Sacrifices are more a Demon thing then a Devil thing.

Sorry fixed it and it was arcady not CorvusMask

and another is Wizarding School in Ancient Timbuktu

Not sure if the most powerful and ancient of magic schools and traditions on the face of the planet can really be boiled down to "Wizard school in ancient Timbuktu"

Ukuzola Okubulalayo, Matanji Orc and Shadow Caster Druid of The Magaambya.

Part of the contingent sent by The Magaambya to aid against the whispering Tyrant, undead and friends in the world outside of the Mwangi.

He and his shadow hound hunter demons and undead and gather stories and allies for the School.

My cleric, built purely for healing, in Strength of Thousands has been out performing the martials in damage in nearly every fight.

In a home game I would allow downtime activities that take a lot of day so 30 or 60 to convert a single Advanced weapon to a Martial weapon for a PC.

For SFS you get a boon where you can raise one stat 14 or lower by +2.

I THINK it counts as a con boon where it doesn[t occupy your personal boon slot, but personal boon slot is almost unavailable so it doesn't matter.

I was more wondering about if anything like that was going to be added to PFS 2.

I second the question about what happens to those of us that used ACP points on orcs recently?

If I understand it a lot of contract law relies on reasonable intent and good faith negotiations, and there seems to a lot of evidence in written form over the years that WoTC at the time and the writers that wrote up original OGL meant for it to last forever.

The ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act) is a real law that applies to every business.

If some other business down the block is wheelchair accessible, that does not relieve you of the need to be accessible too.

You can't say "oh look, our partners are making audio versions"* to handwave your own lack of compliance.

*especially when someone has to pay an additional access fee to use those versions.

From everything I have read the ADA doesn't even require you to publish a book in braille or Audio, let alone multiple formats for other needs.

No weapon or game accurately portrays real combat, that is a pretty simple thing to understand. In addition I really do not want to play a non-wargame with a single character that can die instantly at any level from Hydrostatic Shock from a gunshot or a nicked femoral from a sword, probably not alone in this.

I think mainstream elven culture should be ridiculously individualistic and be paradoxically super focused about being in the now but always remembering the past and planning for the future.

Aren't pathfinder Chronicles of famous pathfinders similar to the dime novels?

You smurf smurfers , there is already a smurfing smurf ancestry. It's the smurf smurfing Fungus Leshey.

Medic is amazing, my Cleric has it and does way more healing with his medic abilities then anything else , and you can combine it with either a healer Alchemist or a Healer Investigator for some powerful healing as well.

... I think that sort of collaborative, syncretic, "how do we be more than just crusader-colonizers" spin is the best way to tackle Mendev going forward." ....

To be honest both Mendev and Sarkoris are destroyed kingdoms, and I think this idea is where Mendev and Sarkoris should both lean into, Mendev and Sarkoris realizing they have both have spilled so much blood and lost so much together that the line between them is blurred. Additionally as both sides were fighting to reclaim Sarkoris and close the world wound it would make sense there were many knight and Sarkorian couples, so this generation of Mendev might hold a lot of young people that trace their lineage to both Kingdoms.

You got 80 for Starfinder as well.

I am pretty sure they are common, the reason they weren't in the main race section seemed to be more stylistic. They wanted to get people familiar with the new races outside of the older races first and foremost.

Does anyone else really want something like this? I would pay at least 80 points for a boon to play a Half-Orc Dwarf or Half-Elf Gnome ect.
