It does raise the question of why the Witchwyrd would tell the Kasatha to go to a planet they already know is populated.They're traders. War is always good for business. Interesting! According to Distant Worlds sourcebook Shobhads are THE SAME RACE as Witchwyrds: they waged a civil war while the former went barbarian and the latter, more civilized, raced for the stars.
Didn't know it! In truth, know very very little of the PF canon: I'm considering it from a pure Starfinder view
Halfbreeds (they don't even need a third party) are totally different from created, by definition; and you don't usually create a race and partially direct its evolution on a whim, casually...This just seems the case to me, being depicted the way it is. I know Paizo has probably projects and ideas about Witchwyrds in SF, but maybe it would have been better to wait and describe that thing properly instead of just plainly stating it in a couple of paragraphs; come on, kasathas are one of the main playable races, they deserve better! I like when things are not perfectly outlined in every detail but instead leaving space to personal adjustment and inventive, but we are far beyond that here. I'm Italian and not sure if I'm conveying properly what I mean: not being polemic, just trying to give some positive criticism ;-)
You are right, my fault: shouldn't have read hastily before posting! Anyway, the first part of my thoughts still holds: why such a spoiler in the first place, then why so early and without any real explanation?
It seems to me that no one else pointed this out about the Witchwyrds, so I'm writing this. Beware there are spoilers, if you still have not read their Alien Archive entry! Witchwyrd spoiler: Ok, so they are the creators of both Kasathas and Anacites (who knows of how many other races), and they are stellar merchants so they can be found on Absalom Station too.
My thought is: why annihilate a great and beautiful mistery as the origins of one of the major playable races AND of the robotic race that created the third aspect ot Triune, one of the pillars of the setting?!? Moreover, why doing it in the first monster manual, just writing a single line "It is aknowledged they are the creators of these races" - period. This way one of my players, whose character is a kasatha operative, may just run in a bar into his creator, while the witchwyrd is telling to the bartender: "Yepp it's awesome: we created those nice bots that in turn created the AI Epoch that in turn created Triune that in turn created the Drift. Amazing. Oh, look a Kasatha! We have big expectations for your lot!! Cheers, buddy!" Ok I made it quite dramatic, but it's weird, at the very least: I surely won't use it in my campaign, as it is. Any thoughts?
Moreover, does anyone have a hint to how to handle item modifications?
So no chance to botch your work too: I think I'll keep that when needed for narrative purposes.
Hi everebody ^^ Do I miss something or crafting rules (235 SF core) don't ask for a skill roll but just for materials and time?? Thanks!
yay, sorta like doubles the tag, aaaaall the way to here in italy...
During sessions I'll use the pdf on my tablet (I'm the GM), hand the players a b/w print in a looseleaf, and keep the Limited Edition One safe as The Holy Relic ^_^ So no triple buy: sorry Paizo but my commitment HAS some limit LOL
Ouch. Can't understand why anyone should put 10$ on top of the full price just to get the PDF, but I guess I'll pay nonetheless... Anyway, thanks for the info ^^
I preordered the limited edition rulebook and now am wondering:
