Garrett's SFS Pregen's page

Thanks Revvy, this was a fun game!

I know I put in stats earlier, but if it's not too late I'd like to switch it to my 167355-703, Exo-Guardian, no day job. Apparently you're not supposed to apply a higher level adventure to a 1st level PC who has XP on it already, and my -702 already has 1.

Navasi says "As much as I'd like to explore what lies beyond this hatch, I suspect the Starfinder Society would like us to report back first."

Navasi walks over to the NE room and starts to examine the hatch.

Navasi once again uses Get 'Em, pointing out various targets that could take out the enemy without killing them and takes a non-lethal shot with her Semi-Auto Pistol.

Semi-Auto Pistol, non-lethal: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 13
Damage?: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Navasi throws a Stickybomb Grenade 1 at BogorBago (well, at the intersection of the grid he's on top of):

Stickybomb Grenade vs AC 5: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Entangled for how many turns?: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

"That should hold him down, everyone else knock him out!"

Move action Get'Em, +1 to hit for the rest of the turn.

Navasi takes the run action, making her way around to get a clear shot at BogorBago next round with a Stickybomb Grenade.

"Hang on, let's just try to incapacitate him, we don't want to accidentally kill Livewire's friend!"

Keep it up everyone, we can take this guy down!

As before, Get-Em so everyone gets +1 and prepare for Watch Out if needed.

Attack with Semi-Auto Pistol: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 - 2 = 10
Damage?: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Obozaya descends and fires another shot toward the giant, moving close enough that she'll be able to pull out her beloved doshko.

30 ft. move closer, then fire. Not sure if those crates count as cover.
[dice=Rifle]1d20 + 7
1d6+4

I think you should have an extra +1 on that to-hit, if it matters.

Just a FYI; seems watch out it triggers when an ranged attack is made, not when someone is hit. Which works a bit odd in pbp ..but since there is just one enemy making ranged attacks that would mean you'd give up your reaction and the person being targeted can choose to spend their reaction and go prone for a +4 AC against that attack....which is kinda odd since you'd know the rolled die result already due to the nature of pbp

Hmm. That is annoying. Let's just assume I'm doing that for any ranged attack against someone other tham me, since I don't have any other use for that Reaction ;-)

SFS 167355-702
Faction: Dataphiles
Dayjob: Dayjob Professor: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

FYI, I'm planning on applying this to a level 1 character, I'm not sure if you're supposed to reduce the credits to 720 when you fill it out, or if I just cross it out and put 720 instead.

Navasi remains where she is, yelling "Focus fire, we've got to take him out quickly or he'll overpower us!" Then she takes her own shot with her semi-auto pistol.

Semi-Auto w/ range penalty: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 - 2 = 15
Damage?: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Get-Em for my move action, everyone gets +1 to hit for this round. Still using Watch Out with my reaction if anyone is actually hit.

Navasi moves up next to Iseph and yells out "Everybody get the big two headed thing!"

Using my standard action as a move to trigger Get-Em, everyone gets +1 to hit BorgorBago until my next turn.

Also, just FYI, if anyone is hit with a ranged attack from now on assume I'm using my Watch-Out reaction to give them a +4 to AC.

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Navasi quickly covers her mouth as the cloud shoots out, managing to avoid inhaling much of it.

Navasi steps up to help Keskoday take a look at the symbols.

Wisdom: 1d20 ⇒ 3

"Wow, those are remarkably cryptic. Maybe we should just start pushing buttons?"

Navasi says "So, does anyone speak 'cryptic unknown alien'?"

"No, I'm pretty sure you need to frozzle the whizbanger, like this."

Assist Computers: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Navasi attempts to assist with computers.

"Hmm, have you tried this?"

Computers Assist: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Navasi pokes around the room a bit.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

"Hey look everyone, a security card. I wonder if it goes to this computer console over here..."

Navasi tries to assist Obozaya.

"What, this is too hard for the big strong vesk?"

Assist STR Check: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Navasi yells "One more left everyone, concentrate your fire!" and takes her shot.

Get-Em +1 to hit the remaining goblin

Semi-Auto Pistol, -2 from range: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 2 + 1 = 20
Damage?: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Navasi moves out of the cloud to get a clear shot at the green goblin and takes it, yelling "Come on everyone, let's finish them off!"

No Get-Em this turn, since she had to move

Semi-Auto Pistol: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage?: 1d6 ⇒ 5 plus Crit: 1d6 ⇒ 6

FYI, I'm at my brother in law's this weekend, so posting will be more sporadic than normal. If you're waiting on me for something feel free to bot.

Navasi coughs a little from inhaling some of the fog cloud, peeks out and yells "Those big ones are still there! Get them!", then she takes a shot herself.

+1 Get-Em bonus on the red large goblin

Semi-Auto Pistol shot at the red big one: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 2 + 1 = 13

Damage?: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Navasi will peek out of the cloud, yell "Get the big ones!" (move action Get-Em, grant everyone +1 to hit the big red goblin) and take a shot at him herself.

Semi-Auto Pistol, -2 for range: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 2 + 1 = 6

And that definitely misses.

init
[dice=init Keskoday]1d20+1
[dice=init Obozaya]1d20+7
[dice=init Quig]1d20+2
[dice=init Iseph]1d20+6
[dice=init Raonalt]1d20+2

[dice=Goblins]1d20+3
[dice=Bigger goblins]1d20+7

Umm, you left off Navasi ;-)

Navasi will try to make her way up to some cover (see where I've moved her icon to) without being noticed:

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

"Indeed Keskoday, it's always exhilarating to put a new ship through its paces, even if all you're doing is shooting down some goblins. We should perhaps hurry up and land though, sooner or later they're going to get a hold of us with that tractor beam again, and nobody wants that."

Similarly, this is for the eventual combat step, but just getting it out of the way

Navasi leans over Obozaya's station and makes a small correction.

Encourage Obozaya, DC 17: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

There, that should do it. One more good shot and we can get on with this mission.

Navasi runs to the gunnery station and starts helping Obozaya line up a shot on the goblin ship.

Encourage Obozaya, DC 17: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

"Let's finish this now!"

I think Evade is probably the best action for you to take in most situations you're likely to come across right now, but that's mostly because we're basically always beating the goblins at initiative, and we're doing this in a map with no obstacles on it.

There are plenty of situations where something like flyby or the one where you flip around might be better options, but they probably involve more complicated maps than the one we're doing now, and they're more likely to come up if sometimes the enemies are putting you in a bad spot by making you go first then getting behind you or something.

So, long story short is that Evade is a great default thing to do as a pilot, but in encounters where you're closer to the edge of disaster you'll probably find yourself doing other stuff as well.

Navasi will aid with our initiative check for Piloting, on the assumption that the most important thing we can do is not give them a good shot at our front shields.

Assist on Piloting for Init: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Navasi will try to assist Obozaya with targetting.

Encourage Obozaya, DC 17: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

You guys won initiative and are not in the tractor beam..so you get to move first, after movement - shooting

Umm, if we won initiative then they should have to go first...

Navasi will assist whichever piloting roll Iseph prefers

Piloting Assist: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Navasi will once again assist with the initiative piloting check

Assist with Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Was that the Piloting check for your maneuver, or the one for initiative? I was giving you one for initiative (because winning initiative is awesome), which I don't think you rolled...

Just getting this out of the way so it's ready when the Piloting phase comes around, I'm going to encourage on the Piloting check for initiative.

Assist with Piloting: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

That will give our pilot a +2 on the initiative check.

bonuses from computer systems (not sure if this should be +4 for the ship's computers though I see Garrett says it's 0)

Hmm, not sure about that +4, there are definitely some floating +1 mods that can be applied to a certain number of checks per round, and those can clearly work if we haven't used them yet.

But you can only fire each one the guns once per round and our current position puts us only with starboard in range. But we have a turret so one of us uses the starboard and the other the turret?. I don't have access to the book right now as im out all day do I use my attack modifier?

You want 1d20 + (Ranks in Piloting or BAB) + DEX Mod + ship mods (none) + help from the captain (currently none)

Since I'm captain, and that role seems to often result in round to round changes in what is being done, I'd like to just add the following bot instructions on the off chance I'm not around.
My default action is to Encourage someone (using either an actual aid another check if my skill is decent, probably only true for Piloting
or Computers at +9, or a DC 15+2xShipTier Diplomacy +9 check otherwise).
The hierarchy for who gets the captain's help is as follows: 1) The Pilot, if they're attempting some sort of maneuver or if they want assistance on the Piloting check for initiative (in my experience initiative is super important). 2) Engineering if something important is broken and we want it fixed. 3) Whoever is shooting our biggest gun.
If it would make things go faster and there's an obvious help that fits these rules, any player can feel free to bot me to keep things moving.

"Steady as she goes everyone, let's see what we've got here..."

That said, today I'm going to help out our science officer...

Encourage on the scan: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

"Here, I think this is the button you wanted"

Navasi smirks, "Now now, there will be plenty of time for Obozaya to shoot things after Iseph gets us stuck in that Tractor Beam."

In literally all cases I've encountered so far in SFS play you do in fact have physical contact with the system you're trying to hack. Perhaps that will change as you go up in levels, but it certainly seems true for the early stuff.

SFS doesn't seem so big on the "sit in your apartment and hack the gibson in a building somewhere else in the city" sort of hacking, more like the "we broke into the place and got in a fight and then our hacker messed around with the computer for a while to turn off the $CENSORED so it wouldn't $CENSORED us" kind of hacking.

"Livewire, that sounds like quite the adventure you had. How did you end up here though?"

"So, say you wanted to turn credits into hygiene supplies around here, how would you do it? We've got credits, but smuggling in contraband isn't exactly our game."

"Indeed, we'd like to know what the goals of your expedition were, and how it ended. Presumably some things did not go according to plan, or you wouldn't have ended up here..."

Diplomacy, Aid Keskoday: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Assuming that Quig's attempt at barter hasn't sent us down some sort of trading work for access path, Navasi attempts to negotiate a price.

"What sort of donation do you typically require for this sort of thing? We are on a rather strict budget..."

Diplomacy?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

After hearing about the Warden's interest in investigations, Navasi leans back and begins to spin a tale.

"Back when I was working with the Sixth Finger, we had to deal with a low level contractor who was siphoning off trade goods and selling them on the side. It was small amounts, not anything directly connected to the perpetrator, and if you blinked you'd miss it, but in the end it added up to quite the sizable sum. We finally caught on when he lifted a percentage of some industrial diamonds, and it turned out there were super exact records for that shipment. We spent weeks tracking down who had access to this stuff, where it might have gone missing, and who might have benefited. Nobody had any idea how many other similar shipments had been pilfered from, not until we traced this one back to the culprit and found their really quite complete log books. Pro tip, when you're scamming an interplanetary contracting firm, try not to write down a list of exactly what you've stolen and where you stole it from, it makes getting caught for a relatively small crime into getting caught for a spectacularly large crime."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (10) + (4) + 7 = 21
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Navasi accepts the drink, and tries it, but passes on the food.

"Thank you for your kind hospitality. I've never visited the Sauna, and was unsure what to expect."

Bluff: 1d20 + 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (9) + (3) + 9 = 21

Navasi leaves all her contraband on the ship.

"Why hello there, if you could please convey us to whoever can grant us access to the prisoner Livewire that would be most helpful."

"Excellent Sauna Control, we will proceed to the landing coordinates immediately."

Then, after turning off the communication channel, Navasi turns to the rest of the crew.

"So, do we want to play this straight, or should we try to bring in any contraband? The fact that they're willing to take 'donations' makes me thing this isn't the most law abiding prison in the Pact Worlds."
