You can play every Starfinder Society Scenario as many times as you like, earning full rewards for playing, so long as you play with a different character each time.

So, effectively, every scenario is replayable? I like this change but also hope the scenarios have enough to keep them from feeling stale on a replay

I basically have to build up to 4 forms?

Yup. Each time you take this spell you have to define a specific number of forms that then become your options for this spell later when you cast it. So for example, you could build

And can this form be built from anything, any mix and match of abilities that's possible(if so wow that sounds game breaking) but at the same time confusing?

You can choose to mimic a specific creature or not. "If you base your form on a specific creature (which must be of a CR no higher than the spell’s maximum CR), you can select only abilities that the base form has, but you can select one ability more than the normal maximum."

So, there is an upside to not build-a-bearing your own creature from various parts.

Like I just want to turn into a laser wolf, is that even still possible?

1st level Polymorph is limited to animal or humanoid forms. Tashtari's are magical beasts. So, you need to start at 2nd level Polymorph if you want to become a Tashtari.

With lvl 2 polymorph, you are limited to:

  • animal, fey, humanoid, magical beast, or monstrous humanoid (check)
  • CR 3 creatures (check)
  • a number of special abilities equal to the number available to an expert NPC of CR equal to the spells maximum CR (2) plus an additional ability. All three chosen from the specific creature you chose (because you chose the specific form of a tashtari)

    If you choose one of the following categories of traits you are limited to the following based on the spell level:

  • Defensive Abilities: The form can grant DR 2/magic or resistance 5 to one energy type. (Tashtaris have resistance Fire 5)
  • Racial Traits: The form can grant only one racial trait to each polymorphed form, and you can’t grant racial traits that include spell-like abilities. (Tashtaris have no racial traits)
  • Senses: The form can grant one of the following options: blindsense (scent) out to 5 feet, darkvision out to 60 feet, lowlight vision, or tracking (scent). (Tashtaris have darkvision 60ft and low-light vision)
  • Speed: The form can grant the target a maximum land speed of 40 feet, climb speed of 20 feet, or swim speed of 30 feet. (Tashtaris have movement 30ft and a climb speed higher than the limit of 20ft)

    Tashtaris also have 2 special abilities

  • Bristle flash (Ex)
  • Muzzle Beam (Ex)

    Nice! Any word on whether or not this will be approximately the same 160 pages as other products, or if this might be drastically larger or smaller?

    I would recommend not stretching the first book across more play sessions than necessary. The players need to keep track of a fairly nuanced investigation and I found the gap between sessions really hindered my party's ability to determine what was going on and what they were pursuing from last session.

    I also recommend the party familiarize themselves with mystery adventures and how to ensure they stay on track by reading the blog post: https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo6sh46

    The art for this product in the April "Upcoming Releases" carrousel on the main page still uses the stand-in art with the robot.

    Otherwise, nice art! I really wish there was a specific product featuring lots of new NPC art available. NPC codex please.

    Hi Joe and team! I'm excited to have an new resource for official FAQ clarifications and/or errata.

    Does this signal a new emphasis on regular updates? I am definitely encouraged to post more questions on the rules forum. I'd hope that we can receive some further clarifications based on the vast number of posts that appear to not have well defined answers or lack consensus.

    I think each individual case would need the GM's approval. For the one you presented, I'd say "Sure your song can certainly attract and "make an impression" on animals, but they wouldn't necessarily be able to understand what you want without expressing it through Wild Empathy (which in my mind is a Diplomacy check making animal noises, scratching the dirt, and making animalistic displays)."

    I was thinking along the lines of snow white making friends of animals through song (the "make impression" action). I would understand a GM still requiring diplomacy to make the simple requests.

    Any expectation to learn of any interaction with the countries south of the mwangi expanse? I haven't seen too much written on the subject.

    I'm one of the regular GMs from the Dojo from 2018. The main Venture Agent for the store moved out of town and the opportunity to cover for him and continue has sort of passed us by.

    I'm looking to restart PFS 1e, SFS, or any other organized play in the area if anyone is interested. I reached out to the Dojo about continuing last year, but didn't get any response.

    Good Games in Lincoln park appears to have an ongoing PFS and SFS playgroup.
