Starships

I spent the weekend familiarizing myself with the Starship building rules. Thought I would share what I had made.

Thoughts, comments, suggestions, recommendations, errors?

Some space merchant, space trucker ships would be appreciated.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has enteetained the idea of traveller style intra system and interstellar travel?

Looking at the drift engines as described you have interplanetary jumps, near space and the vast. Each with their according time requirements.

With Traveller i see the restrictions of having to be 100 diameters from the planet that you are jumping from basically and not much has been discussed about inter system jumps. And based upon the mongoose traveller rules it seems that drift drive tech is a smidge faster than a drive 1 category ship.

Since i have so much dusty good traveller goodies i was thinking of a way i can give drift and traveller as we know it tech options for getting around.

Any other gms thinking about this and have some ideas how to merge these two types of technologies in a way that could work rather than presto magico you are there. with each tech having their pros and cons?

Ooh, very cool idea. I've always wondered what a WoW Warlock or Shaman or Paladin or Hunter would look like as a D&D class, but never bought the WoW conversion books (the EQ conversion was kinda 'eh' and turned me off those sorts of conversions).

The weird things that the same company did both conversions, but the WoW one was stellar and the EQ one was a soul sucking hole of darkness which should never be mentioned.

If you factor that the Eq coversion was 3.0 edition compared to 3.5 edition. The Eq version was far better than the current 3.0 dnd ruleset.

Imho the bard of EQ is a better design with the exception that bards could do all what they could do in plate. Take also the fact that they used a mana pool ruleset rather than a vancian magic system and that Items had three different modifiers to gear.

First I'd like to say thank you to all those who have submitted content to the Pathfinder Database. The site has really grown and accumulated a lot of great new abilities and game options for fans.

Secondly, I've gotten many requests from content submitters who'd like more detailed feedback on their submissions. I do not want to replace the great feedback system on these messageboards, so I'd like to put in place a review system similar to the way the content is reviewed currently.

Using a 5 star system for different criteria based on what type of content it is, I think the authors will get the feedback they're looking for while still reserving in-depth comments (the kind I don't want to moderate) for the messageboards here.

I've done an example of this with one article, a feat that I have written. Spell Surge (Metamagic)

My idea right now is to only allow the registered users to review content by criteria, but reviewing content with the "overall" rating, the current system, will remain as it is now, anyone (registered or not) can review anything.

For feats, I had the following criteria in mind:
Balance refers to how powerful the feat is in relation to its requirements.
Utility refers to how useful the feat is over the life of a character's career.
Compatibility refers to how well the feat would fit into a variety of campaigns.

If you like this style of reviewing content, please let me know what criteria content submissions should be based on. For example, here's a quick list I just thought up now...

Races - Balance, Flavor, Compatibility

Classes - Balance, Abilities, Compatibility

Spells - Balance, Utility, Compatibility

Magic Items - Cost vs Power, Flavor, Uniqueness

I'd also like criteria for other sections of the site, such as: NPCs, Monsters, Encounters, Traps, etc

Thank you for your time and thanks for the feedback.

How about a section on a collaborative section for City states and towns or other interesting areas that could be added to the world of golarion without upsetting or going against what is "cannon" to this world?
