Cook for Cookie's SF2E background?

@supreme being

My character concept is as follows:

Name: Chesterfield 00K13, or "Cookie" to his friends.

Ancestry: Android

Class: Soldier

About Cookie: Cookie's been up around the asteroid a few times. Not quite ready for retirement, but figuring he's got at least a few good hurrahs in him before he settles down. Cookie's done just about every job a person can do while never earning much to his name, but he's learned to fight with almost every kind of weapon, cook almost any meal you can think of, and has worked on every type of engine from speeders to starships. While he's been known to have a bit of a temper where his cooking is concerned, Cookie has never turned anyone away from his stove and always makes sure everyone is well fed.

tl;dr, he's a mechanic that does talk like this Cookie, but he can actually cook. His backgrounds would be a rough combination of the ones listed below. He's a bit older, but that's never stopped him before.

Fly Free or Die Player's Guide backgrounds (not your character's background slot)

Former Smuggler --> Cookie
Golden Parachute -->
Kalistocrat Childhood -->
Mine Collapse --> Cookie
New Hire -->
Old Hand --> Cookie
Terraformer -->
Union Busted -->

Potential Ship Roles

Best choice: Engineer
Secondary choice: Gunner
Tertiary choice: Pilot
Anything that involves telling people what to do that isn't in his kitchen is a bad place for Cookie.

Do we still have time to post a character or concept if we have only expressed interest thus far?


Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

I have been away from the forums for some time, but I would be interested in this

I've been playing it since it came out and still can't understand why Craft (basket weaving) doesn't equal Profession (basket weaver).

You can only make that jump when you can succeed at an underwater Craft (basket weaving) check.

well, the swashbuckler in question could be swinging on a rope (or have the appearance of) and when expected to move forward in a continuous motion, pulls off some Jack Sparrow pirate escape stuff.

Again, it only needs to "appear" that they're swinging on a rope, or a branch, or a vine.

It's easier for me to find information in a PDF. I don't always remember what page something is on, or what chapter it's in, but for some reason I can recall how the book 'felt' when i was looking at that page, and i can home in on that pretty quick.

That, and if I'm looking for something quickly during a game, I can flip through pages till I see the images/words i have associated with what i'm looking for. PDFs have to load images, and it's a pain.

Yup, I know there's an index, and PDFs have search capabilities. Don't like to use either unless I have to.

That would make sense. He is retired but active and would most likely have someone around to help him and that he could mentor and keep on the straight and narrow.

Sounds good. Even better if Claustipher is the type to recognize when something is wrong or bugging at someone, but won't pry too deeply, let it come out all on its own.

Interesting given that I am thinking about a soldier (human fighter) who survived a battle and likely wouldn't look too kindly on a deserter! War makes for odd bedfellows...

I'm thinking of a young kid who ran away as his group was slaughtered, left for dead, found by a villager. Whatever happens next, he sees as his chance at redemption.

That could be interesting though, especially if both characters had a relationship before these events.

What are posting expectations?


Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

My GM has OK'd the multiclass to Eldritch Archer, but tends to keep things RAW, so I'll probably stick with that.

i'll add that it's already not an ideal or optimized character, what with 2 levels already sunk into vigilante. We're playing through the Skulls and Shackles game, and we needed a skill monkey and I got the ok to run a vigilante. I was mostly interested in trying out the class, and I recognize that a lot of it's features may or may not work very well, depending on how the game goes.

I'm mostly interested in getting to the Arcane Archer prestige class, and utilizing those features. I will be a couple levels behind schedule, but I'm open to other suggestions.


Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

I've got the chance to level up vigilante (stalker). He focuses on ranged combat, and I'd like to eventually build him into an Arcane Archer.

With that in mind, I'd like to multiclass him with a level of magus (eldritch archer). The thing is, charisma is higher than intelligence for this PC. I've tried to figure it out on my own, and I'm a little confused, but can anyone help me figure out if the Eldritch Scion and Eldritch Archer archetypes are compatible?

Thank you for your help.

It is an exceedingly frustrating concept. Nor can I call it justified. Take someone who buys a, say, car. Do they expect the car to have value forever? A chainsaw? A pair of shoes? A newspaper? A roll of toilet paper? A computer? Should they?

The chainsaw stood out to me, both in a "one of these things is not like the other" sense, but also because my dad inherited my great-grandfather's chainsaw, which he still uses. Works pretty good.

I should make a relevant comment. My GM asked for some basic info about my character's immediate relatives. He wanted names and class, but ended up with backgrounds, personality traits, motivations, etc.

Then i told him i had ideas for my characters cousins.

I need school to start again...

Mount it from the ceiling?

My grievance today is that work is frustrating. Not the actual job, just some aspects it. Babysitting is not what I was hired to do.

Already done that (no joke--it's part of the campaign). I could have the second one also be a body double, but now I'm getting in to matryoshka doll villain territory and eventually they'd just flip the table on me.

I'm a pretty manipulative GM (the gaming table the only place I let out my inherent, otherwise-uncontrollable sociopathy), so now that I know that they know that I have a tell, I can course correct to continue my psychological brutalization of my friends.

What? Is there some OTHER reason to game?

Not according to my GM (who just happens to be my little brother...may have something we need to work out there)

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a cowboy artist. To clarify, not an artist that focused on western themes, but a cowboy and an artist.

Embarrassing confession: My younger brother and I are playing a game where our characters are adopted brothers. The weird thing is our roles have reversed and now he's the one keeping me in task and in the one running after everything shiny.

It's where Mary Sue's are born, and where they return to die after fulfilling their Mary Sue destiny


Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

I disagree, but more because this sounds like a "which came first, the chicken or the egg" kind of thing.

I dont have a response much to the second point, but i would say that a general idea of what the game could be is a good thing to have, both for players and GMs. I think to plant the seef, you really need a gm to say "this is the style of game we'll be running," and from there you need players who'll be invested in however the plot and setting evolve.


Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

I still need to read the rest of the thread, but just reading the title made me think...if you're going to be an a&&, expect to be left behind.

Terquem,
I like the story idea. I'll start stating something up and begin jotting some notes down.


Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Hmm...given that gnomes are social pariahs I may instead go with the original dwarf witch idea, so that there's not that issue when it comes to meeting with the party. I will try to have something put together as soon as possible.


Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

I'm interested in playing a dwarf witch, but I'd also like to hear about the gnomes, if that's alright.


Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Sorry, I should also clarify that I have an interest :)

Same. You put quite a bit of thought and effort into your games and do a great job of making the game come alive.


Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Had a player in the group that would always be the first to start looting whenever the opportunity presented itself. Just finished combat, found wagon on the side of the road with injured survivors, you get the idea. It got to the point where the GM started having guys character pick up everything, even things that weren't "treasure". He eased off after he realised all he was running out of room to carry things after he had all those broomstick

I guess this qualifies as embarrassing... Drow are my favorite D&D race. I've read a probably excessive amount of sourcebooks and novels about them, and I secretly feel a little bit hurt when people say things like "drow players just want to make Drizzt ripoffs".

The problem isn't that all drow players want to make Drizzt ripoffs. The problem is that too many players that do play drow want to make Drizzt ripoffs; and that too many players do not want to play the disadvantage of being a drow. The drow are for all intent and purpose the Nazis of the D&D/Pathfinder game worlds. Not just the Nazis, but the SS. Their reputation is that of murderous bastards that perform diabolical experiments on what they consider lesser races (everybody not drow). Now, if you're willing to play a character who is treated as the most evil mortal race ever; shunned, feared, and despised by everybody that hasn't gotten to know you; and hunted methodically by strike teams of elite elven arcane archers and ninjas, rock it like there's no tomorrowm.

I'd add that this is a phenomena which can occur whether the person playing the character has heard of Drizzt or not.

Hello,
I apologize, because I should have noticed this sooner, but I was sent two replacements instead of one, and the second replacement arrived yesterday. The first replacement (order #491448) arrived about a week ago, and I'm happy with it. I'm guessing the second replacement (order #4195590) was sent on accident. What is the best method to return this extra copy?


Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

But hey, at least he got it over with without the normal investment of time. A "express" experience, of you will.


Pathfinder Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

A gm for an irl game I'm playing in is too nice. In the sense that some of the challenges presented were too easy, or we got more than we expected, or stuff is very easily available. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to get stuff (potions, nice weapons, etc.), but I do like the challenges to be...well, challenging.

But he is also relatively new to bring a gm, and overall has provided some memorable and fun encounters :)

Hello,
My account is reading this order as being completed, but I haven't recieved it. I've tried to reach out to UPS, USPS, and the UPS-MI link that I was originally given. Neither UPS or the USPS can find any indication of the package using the tracking numbers I gave them, and UPS-MI hasn't responded to any of my attempts at communication. Can you please help me track this order down? Thank you.

In a Star Wars Saga campaign taking place during the Clone Wars, the group arrived at a Twi'lek encampment on Ryloth near an ancient Sith temple they were supposed to be investigating. This encampment was home to a large portion of the NPC pilot's family. As they were resting and making acquaintances, a small group of clones and a Jedi Padawan came over the ridge and began attacking the settlement, shooting everyone (dark side possession, or something like that). Of course the players lept in to help, and began fighting back with gusto.

This went quickly from fun and action to serious, though, when it became apparent that the children of the camp were in danger as well. Most had made it to shelter, but when it seemed that one was going to be killed by a force-possessed clone trooper, the tank of the group ran and dove between the blaster fire and this child he had just met, almost dying in the process.

It was pretty neat.
