Whenever you level up you can move your spells around a bit and replace a spell. In other words if you learn a new higher version of a spell and use the spells known slot you can also unlearn a lower level spell and replace it with another. This way your not left with multiples of the same spell if you don't want.

Please note you can only "Swap" out one spell when you gain a level so choose wisely.

Hey all quick question on some feats and insight bonuses. First question is can "Skill Focus" and "Skill Synergy" affect the same skill? They say it can't stack but I'm assuming that it means you can't get the same named feat and apply it to the same skill kinda stack. Also do can you have multiple insight bonuses. I don't see anywhere stating that you cant.

I'd go android. If the you have the "Character Operations Manual" then you can also see the list of androids that are available that are more than just human looking. You get the same stat boosts and you add some racial's. You are still a full fledged android so you can keep your character concept.

For example you can be an android of any of the core races in the core rule book and some from the first and second Alien Archive. One of which could be an android Kasatha and gain the "Four armed" and "Natural grace" racial traits. Its called Xenometric Android.

Take a look at it you might be able to expand on some of the idea's that you have started.

Honestly if your looking for miniatures for AotS then I'd suggest the Tyranid army line from GamesWorkshop. Even the Necron line has little metal scarabs that look neat. The biggest problem with them is expense. They can run you pretty high in cost. I have a bunch so I have first hand experience. I would say go to e-bay and find a small lot that'll run you cheap. I used the Hormagaunt line from them as Akata's against my players so they are well sized for the one inch boards. It almost feels like the swarm were ment to be used by the Tyranid models.

From someone who enjoys the occasional jerk character, they're definitely doing it wrong. There's two rules for players that really never get shouted from the rooftops enough.

-You and the party are working together. This means that no matter how much of a self-interested jerk your character is, they have to be able to see the value in cooperating with the rest of the party. Justify it however you want or play another character if you can't.

-You and the GM are working together. Inherently you have to trust the GM to put the story together for you. If you can't then you probably shouldn't be playing.

These do go both ways but it really sounds like your players are dropping the ball. In my few runs as GM, I've definitely made sure to spell these out to my players in order to manage their expectations.

My campaign recently ended but I'm going to be starting SoS soon as I left my players at level 7. I'll make sure that these two examples are noted as I feel like its explained well and will get the point across. Some players didn't get attached to their characters so they will be making new ones, so this might be a good way to set the mood before they even make the characters. Thanks for the advice, and that goes for everyone with good constructive criticism. I'm glad to be part of a community who is willing to be honest and straight forward.

Thanks guys! I was having trouble with all but one player. It was to the point that I couldn't even move the story forward with the main villain as the moment he popped up the first thing that happened was I was interrupted and told "I'm gonna shoot him" I looked at my player and said "At least let me monologue" he said no that he wanted to shoot him so I started combat.

I really enjoy GMing but the way you guys describe it, it sounds like I could be having a much better time with a group that cares more. I appreciate the advice.

So I have a group that I need some help reigning in. The issue is everyone is either an edge lord or a loner. They also want to either kill each other most of the time. I'm able to get them to work together and do their missions and what not but I'm not sure how to best handle the mass amount of chaotic players who don't want to work together. Can anyone help with this?

This does mean that in most normally constructed encounters, extra manifestation is giving you a choice of manifestations, not a pair of manifestations.

Do you mean that based on how most encounters go that you most likely wont get both manifestations out at one time? or that you can't get a second one out at all? Personally I'm looking at both armor and shield manifestations at level 9 for those harder fights so that I can be in the action longer with stacking armor and resistance.

What about the shield in general? I'm trying to find a good use for it but I'm starting to think that the normal armor version is better due to the resistances it can get in later levels. Yes the shield can use weapon crystals and attack if need be but what makes it better?

So I've been looking into the COM for a minute now and haven't until recently really soaked in some of the things that can be done. One was the extra manifestation which I feel might be better than a second Z-revelation, but I wanted to hear the communities thoughts on it. Personally I was going to go armor solarian with shield as second manifestation. Its a melee character with as much AC as possible.

But this leads to my next question. What does everyone think about the shield manifestation? It seems pretty nice but how well does it work with stellar revelations? and is it useful? or would a solar weapon be better as a second to the armor?

Vanguard is basically a tank that yes does not heal itself, but the way the class was designed it doesn't really need to. With the encouragement of CON as the key ability score it makes that 10 min rest way more impact-full. As well as having entropic strike be DEX to hit adds more encouragement into damage reduction. The GM shouldn't have an encounter that can't be handled by good coordinated players or focus solely on the vanguard to where he is taken out super early. But as stated previously your 10 min rest as a vanguard will seem more impactfull than other classes out of combat healing.

Additionally if you need a little healing boost there are a few classes that can heal in combat which makes the already high damage mitigation of the vanguard much harder to take down. And if nothing else I think it might be for balance as a clearly tanky class that proves hard to take down also gets self healing might push it overboard into unbalanced territory.

Holographic Artist's is my favorite, great defense and utility. If you're looking for power and flexibility rather than to match a preexsting theme idea, I think this is the one.

I'm liking the look of this one too. But how does it work with "Summon Creature"? Does the creature stay out or is it just cast it as much as you want?

Been reading through the new Technomancer stuff and the Cache Hacks look interesting. Is it worth taking over the normal Cache Capacitor? If so which one looks the best bang for its buck.

My plan was to use all kinds of weapons and try to be a melee vesk biohacker with the toxicology field of study. I want to use long arms to start fights give some buffs and debuffs before rushing in with the toxicology boost on myself.

Gotcha I missed that. I can see why it's half character level rather than full as well as the injectuon expert rules allows you to pick more weapon types. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Hey Starfinders, as I was looking over the biohacker and the "injection expert" class feature I noticed it says you are proficient with all injection weapons as long as it naturally has that property without it being modded on in any way. So at level three when we get weapon specialization, is it possible to get it for injection weapons?

I feel like this makes sense for the biohacker, but no idea if it's possible, or was just overlooked.

I'm getting the same message and I've been using my billing address which I know is correct but I keep getting declined. The repeated transactions are appearing on my account as well. I just want to get the Character Operations Manual and my card has worked before. Its starting to get really frustrating as I know all of my information on my end matches what my bank says.
