Hi, Mainer! The Starfinder Character Operations Manual should now be available for you to download from your Paizo account. I hope you find it useful! Thank you!
I would love the Starfinder Character Operations Manual. Thank you for doing this!
I have been playing this game for six years and I still can't tell you how crafting works.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.
As someone whose been on both sides of this, I've learned that trust is something that is built over the course of a lifetime that can be destroyed in an instant.
Group projects.
Mathuin "Mat" Ebson I'll make those changes over the next couple of days.
Claustipher, would you be up for having an assistant? Not magic. I'm thinking a soldier that ran away from a battle due to fear, ended up in Phaendar just to avoid people who might know him. Not an anti-social, but definitely one to make himself scarce if it looks like he may be recognized as a deserter.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.
Yeah, but a wiseguy isn't considered wise either.

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.

I'll get sonething drawn up.
What are posting expectations?
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.
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.
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.
...And *then* reveal they were fighting a body double and the *real* villain is fresh now that they've blown all their good spells on the fake villain! Bwahahahaha!!! Not according to my GM (who just happens to be my little brother...may have something we need to work out there)
56. Teenage goblins rebelling, speaking in fluent sentences, and insisting that dogs can be pets, much to the chagrin of their parents.
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
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.
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. <<looks around nervously for pun police>>
Terquem,
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.
I'm interested in playing a dwarf witch, but I'd also like to hear about the gnomes, if that's alright.
Sorry, I should also clarify that I have an interest :)
I've played in your games before Terquem. You are not a terrible GM. Same. You put quite a bit of thought and effort into your games and do a great job of making the game come alive.
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". I'd add that this is a phenomena which can occur whether the person playing the character has heard of Drizzt or not.
Hello,
But hey, at least he got it over with without the normal investment of time. A "express" experience, of you will.
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,
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.
I'm going to respectfully withdraw from this recruitment. hope everyone has fun playing!
I'd be the crazy prophet talking about how our lives are nothing more than bits of paper/pixels controlled by an unseeable god that controlled our every move.
Thank you very much. Merry Mikazemas.
I would like to be one of those lucky individuals :) Merry Mikazemas
Vrog: I will take the roll you have offered, and thank you for it. I'll send you a rough idea of the character this weekend via PM

That sounds fair. Edit: I am curious, and I hope you don't mind my asking this, but why is 5th Ed your system of choice?
I would like to express my interest. I have wanted to play a supers game for a long time.
The term "noob." Whatever the context, it always seems either derogatory or self-deprecating, and I've never enjoyed seeing it used either way.
I regularly ask for socks for Christmas. They are quite useful. To contribute to the actual discussion, this would bother me if it were the player getting upset because they didn't have the ability or power they want yet. If someone mentions it casually, more as a matter if fact, I don't have a problem similarly, if someone mentions to me that they received socks for Christmas, that's cool. If you're upset and expressing such sentiments in regards to receiving socks (instead of X), then I'll probably just ignore you.
Gamers to game with...I've enjoyed gaming with these folks. Profession Smith 6 Ranks
Folks I'd like to game with...
and many, many more. Lots and lots of games to play out there, and lots of people to play them with. My only regret is that I don't know enough names to add to this list.
I wouldn't say that this is sad. You made what you thought was the best call and recognized that it probably wasn't. Learning from something like that is a good. To toss one onto the pile, basic railroading. It just stinks when it feels like nothing you're doing matters in the campaign, because the GM's just going to make the plot happen, dangit! In a recent game, it became very clear to us as a group that our enemy was herding us to a specific location. We utilized water-walk on the ocean to get away from our enemy and head in the opposite direction. Lo and behold, as the spell was nearing it's end and we decided to head onto land to fight the enemy where we wanted to fight them, a nearly identical location pops up, and we're hit with the impression that we'd be safer in there. Not the worst, but it still stinks to get the feeling that your choices don't really have a huge effect on the game.
As I'm not going to be underpowered stat-wise compared to the rest of the group, it's all good. I can find ways to make up for the averageness. |
