Anyone working on a Google Sheets Character Generator for the playtest?

The issue is creatures 2 sizes larger act as blocking terrain and thus provide cover, that's why the description of screening needs to be changed.

Thank you! Missed the connection that screening upgraded to Cover and was totally confused by Screening. Plus I am with you on the size description of Screening it's very confusing the way it's written.

Hey all, got a question here regarding the Inspiring Boost improvisation and it's add on Expanded Attunement.

Expanded Attunement read: "...You can use beneficial mind-affecting envoy improvisations to aid allies who usually would not be able to gain benefits from mind-affecting effects, such as constructs..."

Androids Racial profile says: "For effects targeting creature type, androids count as both humanoids and constructs (whichever effect is worse)"

This leads me to draw the conclusion that Inspiring Boost cannot be used on Android allies unless the Envoy has Expanded Attunement because not healing is worse than getting healed, and because without Expanded Attunement a construct cannot be healed.

Am I missing something that would allow beneficial effects to be used on Androids?

First off, love the product! I am however very disappointed with the physical quality of the book I received.

When I got my Starfinder book there a noticeable scratch/cut along the back of it (GIF)

But now less than a week after receiving the book, the binding is completely separated from the actual pages(JPG)

Hey all,

My question on this ability is based on the first bit:

Tumor Familiar (Ex): The alchemist creates a Diminutive or Tiny tumor on his body, usually on his back or stomach. As a standard action, the alchemist can have the tumor detach itself from his body as a separate creature vaguely resembling a kind of animal suitable for a familiar (bat, cat, and so on) and move about as if it were an independent creature.

So is it in the spirit of this ability that the alchemist choose the type of creature it vaguely resemble every time the alchemist detaches it from his body?

The rule effect then would be the alchemist get's to choose the familiar bonus ever time he detaches it.

No where does it say the choice for what the tumor familiar resembles is permanent.

So one minute he detaches it as a cat for a bonus to stealth, reattaches it after he sneaks around and the detaches it again as a Hawk for a bonus to perception.
