Is the eBook going to be available from the Google Play store? (Or library services like Libby/Overdrive?)

How would you build a 40K-style techpriest, servant of the Omnissah? Technomancer? Which spells? Mechanic? Exocortex has a good bit of 'the flesh is weak' flavor, but drone would let you have a servitor.
Just because the First World is infinite doesn't mean it doesn't also have planets and Space. The 'First World' version of an infinite void might be a little more...interesting than the Material Plane one.
Spellcasters: Hiding behind the warriors since...we don't actually know, because of the Gap.
What's the Break DC for a pulsecaster shaped like an umbrella? Idar is about ready to snap this thing over his knee.
Appreciated.
Did Idar's (or Diamaante's) shooting hit anything?
Look out world, Idar has a gun again.
Why is this a $27 PDF? That's the most expensive PDF I've seen It is a $27 PDF because it is a $40 book.
Items getting damaged by AoE spells if you roll a 1 on your saving throw. Yes, I totally want to stop the game, consult a bunch of charts, figure out exactly what the HP and hardness are of your magic hat, because rolling a 1 isn't bad enough.
Ring of Shooting Stars(50,000GP) I have always liked the idea but is so overpriced especially when you can get a ring of freedom of movement for 40,000GP.It's a historical holdover thing. The Ring of Shooting Stars was a lot more potent when originally designed, when say the average troll had 27 hp (6d8), not 63 (6*(d8+6)). At that point, the damage on the shooting stars and ball lightning abilities was significant... but they ported it directly, and now it's kind of a waste. There's a fair amount of stuff like that if you look. Related, burning hands and thus grim lantern doing 1d4 per level instead of, say 1d6.
I thought an absorbed bolt took up a free hand?
The grim lantern is at an unfortunate intersection of 'what the rules say DCs are on items' and 'what a 3+/day command-word item' should cost. Compare against a 5th-level wand of burning hands, which costs 3,750 gp and has the same save DC, but will eventually run out and can only be used by spellcasters.
That's a valid choice. We'd be trading our ability to have readied actions vs. a bit more discretion.
Page 42. "In addition, androids do not breathe or suffer the normal effects of being in a vacuum."
Given that Idar apparently can't hide his weapons either, I'm increasingly inclined to agree with that plan. Throw a smoke grenade to disperse the crowd (since it acts like tear gas on anyone not wearing armor), then kick in the door.
What PC races are your personal most/least favorites? Do you have asimilar set of preferences for Starfinder, or is the game too young? Or just not your personal style?
In the Man-Kzin Wars series you learn that their females were turned into that - they no longer have enough intelligence to think of equality, much less actually try to fight for it. They are basically living incubators and nothing more.For my home game all I did was bring back the Drugar (the Dwarven version of the Drow) but I made them a male dominated version of the Drow because I felt the game needed a mirror of the same. ]Eh, I always felt that the "evil patriarchy" counterpart to the drows "evil matriarchy" was the orcs. I mean, if you look at the orc pantheon, only one of their 10 gods is a woman, and that's Dretha, who's pretty much the goddess of being "barefoot and pregnant" (or whatever you call the more barbaric orcish equivalent to that idea). Sure, she doesn't seem happy about it, but she still is. I doubt many drow men like being treated as second class either Just to double down on that, the Kzinti empire is literally called the Patriarchy, their monarch is 'The Patriarch', not 'King', 'Emperor', or similar. But, like Drow, and Orcs, the Kzinti are evil adversaries.
I was not aware, but it'll be neat to see how close together the designs might be.
So, umm, Sleight of Hand is Trained Only and I didn't notice this.
Based on discussion here, I've whipped together some acid-energy ray guns. The stats are a bit paint-by-numbers, but hey, the system is young.
Disruptor Pistol (Atomic, baryonic, molecular, nuclear)
Disruptor Rifle (Atomic, baryonic, molecular, nuclear)

On one hand, I really don't want to give up Idar's primary weapon. On the other hand, this is probably a bit early to start muscling our way in. On the gripping hand, Idar did not do a good job hiding those grenades and the bouncers might not look kindly on him trying to smuggle explosives into their club.
Ringworld series, yeah? Known Space, yeah. I can't recall if one ever actually appears in a Ringworld book.
i was day dreaming about something similar a while back, some psuedo science ray that attacks electron bonds would basically translate to acid damage, wouldnt it? Oooh. Niven invented one of these. A Thrintun Disintegrator worked by emitting a field that rendered electrons chargeless. The resulting cloud of atomic nuclei would blow itself apart due to mutual positive charge. So there's your pseudoscience, if you want to design one.
The Drow are Evil. The Drow are bad guys. Gender-based oppression is the kind of thing bad people do.
179. Your new implant also mines BitCoins.
They're also priced high because they're priced similarly to magic items in Starfinder. We're mid level 1 - we can stock up on Alchemical Items (grenades), cheap potions, and arrows (bullets/batteries), but a +1 sword or magic armor (bigger guns and tougher armor) are still a big stretch.
I suspect something similar is happening with the Lashunta, the artist sees that the race as a whole is universally attractive so no matter what each individual is supposed to look like they end up being very close to the artists concept of beauty. This is all rampant speculation on my part however. I suspect this too. It doesn't help that the reference art pool is fairly shallow right now, and that the Lashunta iconic is Damaya.So if you use her as Lashunta reference art when sending an art order, even if your text says 'short and stocky because this is a different subrace', artists will frequently look at the reference art as much/more than the written art order.
There are red-skinned 'humans' on Akiton in both Pathfinder and Starfinder. Do they lay eggs?
My understanding is that any armor provides enough environmental protection to negate the smoke from a smoke grenade. Smoke grenade, pg. 184:
A smoke grenade deals no damage; instead, it releases a cloud of
dense smoke. Each character who inhales smoke must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw each round (DC = 15 + 1 per previous check) or spend that round choking and coughing; he can do nothing else. A character who chokes for 2 consecutive rounds takes 1d6 nonlethal damage. (Active environmental protection from a suit of armor prevents this effect altogether.) Regardless of the armor a character wears, smoke obscures vision, granting concealment to anyone within it. Armor Environmental Protections, pg. 196:
Space can be an inhospitable place, with countless dangerous
worlds within it. Unless otherwise specified, all armors protect you from a range of hazards to ensure that you can survive for at least a few days if you must make emergency repairs to the hull of a starship, explore an alien world, or endure exposure to an environmental breach in a space station. Some armors do this through an environmental field (a minor force field specially attuned to pressure and temperature that does not reduce damage from attacks), while others can be closed with helmets and airtight seals. The most common environmental dangers are detailed in Environment beginning on page 394. The purpose of the rebreather is to extend the environment protection from 'days per level' to 'weeks per level', and improving resistance to acid and poison.
Also, how smart/wise are they? Small children love to 'help' to, even when you'd rather they not.
158. Your new hand skinned in synthetic gecko-foot adhesive, handy for wall crawling. But now you can't turn it off.
Maybe we can talk about the book in this thread instead of arguing over the inherent fairness/unfairness of Paizo's shipping and fulfillment process? (For the record, I think that the system, while imperfect, is as fair as it can be given the constraints of physical reality.)
Nothing in our budget is going to be a meaningful upgrade from the hunting rifle, so if we're going shopping, Idar will probably just be buying grenades. Besides, hopefully meeting with the level 21 crew will be mostly peaceful. We'd definitely need to go shopping before Confrontng the downside kings, though. That I'd expect to turn violent.
151) You just don't like it that much, and want your original bio-part back. Shame it's rotting in the bottom of a red 'Biohazard' bin.
Yay! We actually learned things!
143a) It will also do this automatically. You have discovered this feature no fewer than five times.
141) It lets you perceive space-time in more than three dimensions, and colors outside of the visible spectrum. Unfortunately, your brain can't handle the extra input, so all you get is a migraine.
I was going for the Hitchhiker's Guide reference, but enraging the most British Frenchman in Federation history is probably worth something too.
119) No interior doors, not even on the head.
113) Food synthesizer cannot produce a proper cup of tea.
So our only real clue lead us to a bodega on level 21, where we placed some kind of order, and then made a halfling crap himself in fear. While we wait to see if that order ever materializes, we're chasing what is probably a red herring, but hey, at least a lot of people gather at casinos and drink alcohol and maybe we'll luck into overhearing something useful. Heck, maybe all the dwarves in the Armada know each other and Curney himself knew Kreel. What should we do if nothing materializes by the time we leave the casino? Visit the Downside Kings and Diplomacy/Intimidate/beat some answers out of them? Go back to Mama Fats to ask about our order? Or just to beat some answers out of the gang members? Go buy some weapons, before doing one of the above, so we're better prepared when things go south? Something else?
111) Tribble infestation.
113) You always set off the anti-theft detectors when leaving a shop. 114) The charging port is nonstandard, and you keep losing the cable it came with.
105) A loud beeping noise whenever you move backwards.
104) Your new hand cannot activate touch screens.
102) Haunted.
101) Your cyberlimb contains an integrated Small Arm weapon. However, 50% of the time it extends a 'BANG!' flag instead. 101a) 1% of the time, it fires the BANG flag with great force, causing 1d4 damage to the target anyway.
31. Your new cybernetic eyes come with a mature content filter. 31a) This makes it difficult to shower.
