Starfinder 2/5

2 people marked this as a favorite.

From tonight's SFS2 session, during character introductions:

Skittermander PC: "I just joined the Starfinder Society yesterday, and I'm already being sent on my first mission!"

Me: "This is what happens when they don't give us Starfinder Society Lore for free."

As Vizzini said, go back to the beginning. ;-)

The pahtra entry in 1E's Alien Archive 2 says (on page 95): "Most pahtras are asexual, and a relatively small number of breeding couples bolster the population with litters of six to eight kits at a time."

My interpretation is that the majority of pahtra are asexual, but there are minorities of (genetically) male and female pahtra who are critical for the propagation of the species.

That doesn't address gender, but given Paizo's dedication to inclusiveness, it doesn't seem like a stretch at all to say that pahtra can identify anywhere on the spectrum of male, female, agender, genderfluid, etc., regardless of any potential reproductive role. It seems highly appropriate that their primary deity is a goddess of freedom!

You can also gain proficiency through certain ancestry feats and general feats, instead of through devotee benefits.

For example, the iconic mystic, Chk Chk, has the shirren ancestry feat Unconventional Weaponry at 1st level, which has been used to make them proficient with Zon-Shelyn's favored weapon, the painglaive.

A human with the Versatile Human heritage can take Weapon Proficiency at 1st level to become proficient with all martial weapons, or (if already proficient with all martial) with one advanced weapon.

Sadly, I have not found a way for my pahtra mystic to be proficient with Meyel's battle ribbon at 1st level. He'll just have to wait to take Weapon proficiency at 3rd.
