First and foremost, OP, you are amazing for doing this work. My group has been going through this AP on Roll20, and you've done a great job with map sizing. I struggled with aligning the maps in book 3, and I wanted to share my realization, hoping it will help others. The DS3 map numbers do not line up with the maps as they appear in the book. I'll mark the rest as spoiler text.

Once I figured this out, all the maps fit perfectly. Again, thank you for your work, as my group is still finding it helpful. If anyone happens to have the correct dimensions for the first map in the book, or can point me to an updated guide, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks again!

Edit: I was able to figure out the dimensions for the map missing from the Tutorial. I'll post it here with the spoiler tag.

All of you bring up valid points. In the end, I handwaved it and asked the player which feat they would have picked and allowed them to exhcange it this time. I was also looking to see if there was an "official" answer concerning this, and how the games handles retroactive feats as well. Thanks again.

If I recall correctly, it was an attempt to make a "combat engineer/mechanic" so a mix of a & b. That said, you have been very helpful with answers and possible solutions. Thank you!

Hey all,
I searched the forum, and decided to go ahead and ask with a new post. Players in my group are leveling to 4th level. A soldier 3 PC took Skill Synergy (CRB pg 161) as his 1st feat on Perception and Computers, making them Class skills. He's muliclassing into Mechanic, which has those two skills as class skills already. In this case would Skill Synergy retroactively give +2 to Perception and Computers, since they come with Mechanic? And as a tag along question, are there any other feats retroactively handled in this manner? Last thing I would want to do is inadvertently handicap them before sending them through the Ukulam Wilderness, lol. Sources please. Thanks in advance

Hi all,

Returning to Starfinder after a hiatus and need clarification on rules. Specifically, the Soldier class fighting style - Blitz lvl feature Rapid Response (Ex) found on pg. 113 in the CRB.

Is Rapid Response (Ex) an "ability" that has to be activated, or is it considered "always on" like improved initiative? I ask b/c pg. 262 states the following in regard to (Ex) abilities:
"The text of an extraordinary ability indicates what type of action is required to use it, as well as how often the creature can use it. If an extraordinary ability doesn’t specify what type of action is required to activate it, it requires a standard action."

If Rapid Response (Ex) is not an ability, then what is the purpose/in game effect of it having (Ex)?

Any clarification/sources the community could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
