FYI, everyone, it's not one round, it's two rounds. The first round gets the top 101 monsters and is judged by RPG professionals. The second round is public and ranks the monsters into the winning tiers.

It's a bit different, but that was done to accommodate the judges and after a lot of feedback from past judges of the RPG Superstar contest.

Hey all, for those of you new I'd like to introduce you to the Roll For Combat Actual Play Podcast!

So what are you playing on the podcast?
Currently, we have two actual play podcasts -- the Starfinder Dead Suns Adventure Path and The Fall of Plaguestone Pathfinder Adventure. You can find them both here:
• Starfinder Dead Suns Adventure Path: http://rollforcombat.com/episodes/
• The Fall of Plaguestone: http://rollforcombat.com/tag/the-fall-of-plaguestone/

So what is your group's playstyle?
On both podcasts, we play a mixture of "rules as written" (we play as closely as possible to the original rules) and role-playing. The Dead Suns podcast is a bit more "beer and pretzels" type of game, where we make jokes and rag on each other during the show. While the Plaguestone podcast is heavily into roleplaying and a bit more serious.

How are you playing?
Since we are scattered throughout the country we play online using a mixture of Discord and D20Pro.

How often do you post your show?
The Fall of Plaguestone podcast posts every Tuesday and the Dead Suns podcast posts every Friday.

What else do you do on the show?
We have a large number of interviews on the show, which you can view here: http://rollforcombat.com/tag/interviews/

We also play Starfinder Society games, which you can view here: http://rollforcombat.com/tag/starfinder-society/

We also review most Paizo hardcover books, which you can view here: http://rollforcombat.com/tag/reviews/

I hear you also play games on your Discord channel?
Yes, we are an official Paizo Lodge for Play-by-Discord games. You can learn how to join or run a game over at our Discord channel. Games are running all the time and we run both Pathfinder and Starfinder games. You can join our Discord here: http://discord.rollforcombat.com

Okay that makes sense now. Perhaps reusing the same language all over the place for different uses wasn’t the greatest idea.

Dark Archive

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber; Pathfinder Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game, Starfinder Society Subscriber

Okay, on page 191 of the core rules it says:

Quote:
A fusion seal’s cost is based on the highest-level weapon the fusion seal can affect, and it is equal to 110% of the price of a weapon fusion for a weapon of that level.

So that means if you want to put a level 1 Calling Fusion on a level 7 weapon it would only cost 120 credits.

HOWEVER, in the Armory on page 61 it says:

Quote:
The price of a weapon fusion depends on the item level of the weapon into which it is being installed, as detailed on the Weapon Fusion Prices table on page 63.

So that means if you want to put a Calling Fusion on a level 7 weapon you need to upgrade that Fusion Seal to level 7 which costs 1500 credits.

HOWEVER, on page 192 of the core rules it says:

Quote:

Multiple Fusions and Multiple Targets

You can place multiple fusions on the same weapon, but only if the weapon’s item level is equal to or greater than the combined total of all the fusions’ item levels. A weapon cannot hold or benefit from additional fusions beyond this limit. A fusion that applies an effect to attacks applies it to all targets for spread weapons, automatic fire, explode weapons, and other effects with multiple targets.

So if you need to match the weapon fusion to the level of the weapon … how can you put multiple fusions on a single weapon?

Also Herolab is enforcing the rule that you need to make the fusion the same level as the weapon itself. Which means you need to match the level of the fusion to the level of the weapon making it IMPOSSIBLE to put more than one fusion on a weapon (seal or otherwise).

Basically I am trying to install two level 1 Fusion Seals and one level 3 Fusion Seal on a level 7 weapon. Herolab says I can only install one Fusion Seal and it needs to upgraded to level 7 to be installed. And the rules contradict each other.

So … which rule is correct?

Over at the Roll For Combat discord channel, we put the word out about running some play-by-play SFS ... and within a few days 5 tables worth of people signed up to play!

We currently have 2 GMs, but we are looking for more to help us run games. Most of the players are new to SFS but not to RPGs or even pbp.

We plan to use the Discord channel to run the games as it will easily handle dice rolls, formatting, and inline graphics.

We are planning on running 01-01 since so many are new, but some are asking for other adventures to be run, so we are open to almost anything.

If you interested please contact me or join the Discord channel and send GM Stephen a DM and I'll get you started! We are looking to start the games towards the latter part of January 2018 while we get the tables organized.

The Disease rules appear to be missing a few details on how they work exactly. For example, for this disease (which is a real disease from Starfinder but was adjusted for spoiler reasons):

SAMPLE DISEASE (don't want to use its real name for spoilers)
Type disease (injury); Save Fortitude DC 10
Track physical; Frequency 1/day
Effect No latent/carrier state; an infected creature that dies
rises as a Space Ghoul 2d4 hours later.
Cure 2 consecutive saves

Here is the Physical disease track that deals with the the Physical Disease Track:

Physical Disease Track
Healthy — Latent — Weakened — Impaired — Debilitated — Bedridden — Comatose — Dead

So ... how does this work? If there is no "Latent/carrier" state does it go right to Weakened?

Or I have seen other people say that the disease does nothing and only turns them into Space Ghoul after they die and have the Disease.

Which is it? There is a huge difference between having the "Weakened" state vs. no damage at all (unless they die). Thanks.

So the stats for Akata disease Void Dead is as follows:

VOID DEATH
Type disease (injury); Save Fortitude DC 10
Track physical; Frequency 1/day
Effect No latent/carrier state; an infected creature that dies
rises as a void zombie (see page 61) 2d4 hours later.
Cure 2 consecutive saves

Disease / Poison now has a track system.With each fail you move further down the track gaining penalties.

***

Here is the Physical disease track that deals with the Akata Bite.

Physical Disease Track
Healthy—Latent—Weakened—Impaired—Debilitated—
Bedridden—Comatose—Dead

So ... how does this work? If there is no "Latent/carrier" state does it go right to Weakened?

Or I have seen other people say that the disease does nothing and only turns them into Void Zombie after they die and have the Disease.

Which is it? There is a huge difference between having the "Weakened" state vs. no damage at all (unless they die). Thanks.

So reading the description it states:

Quote:

For every 5 by which you exceed the check, you learn another unknown piece of information. Subsequent checks reveal new pieces of information, continuing down this list.

1. Basic Information: Living crew complement and ship classification, size, speed, and maneuverability.

2. Defenses: AC, TL, total and current Hull Points, total and current Shield Points in each quadrant, and core PCU value.

3. Weapon: Information about one weapon, including its firing arc and the damage it deals, starting with the weapon that uses the most PCU. Repeat this entry until all the starship’s weapons are revealed.

4. Load: Information about how the starship’s expansion bays are allocated and any cargo the starship might be carrying.

5. Other: Any remaining ship statistics.

I don't quite understand how this works exactly.

Let's say that the DC for a check is 13 and the PC scans the enemy ship and gets a result of 21.

So that would mean you would get all the "Basic Information" (check of 13-18), and all the "Defense information (check of 19-23) ... correct? You get ALL that information listed above?

Now say the next round they do the check and get a roll of 15 ... what do they get exactly? Do they get just the "Basic Information" again, or do they get the "Weapon" information since "Subsequent checks reveal new pieces of information, continuing down this list".

Let me know how this works, thanks.

The rules allude to the fact that you must have a Captain and Pilot at all times, but it never really comes out and says that directly.

From what I can tell you always need a Pilot, but I don't think you need a Captain.

We have a group and none of them are built for Captain. Is there an official rule saying that a Captain (to a lesser extent, Pilot) must be roles that are filled?

I can see this going either way. The rules state:

Quote:
This weapon deals 5 fewer damage unless the target is wearing no armor or archaic armor. Archaic weapons are made of primitive materials such as wood or common steel.

So if you score a crit with an archaic weapon against armor do you subtract -5 to the total damage or -10? Thanks.

Err. Since the streetday of Alien Archives is tomorrow, isn't this technically a Preview?

A preview just gives small details without giving an opinion. A review goes into detail and explains the book and one's thoughts on the book. Hence, it's a review.

Duh, a podcast. Nothing against you guys, great work and keep it up, but podcasts are lame. I could read in 30 minutes max what it takes me 2 hours to listen to.

Too bad, I liked your written review and wanted something more in-depth, but I guess I'll pass this time.

If you just want to read the review you can view it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhAFOR8dlXM

Just select view the transcript and jump to 50:07. Tad-da ... written transcript of the review just for you! :)

The Roll For Combat crew hits the ground running as they’re dropped into the middle of a firefight between rival gangs. Hirogi learns the value of taking cover, Mo teaches the value of smashing things really hard with a hammer, Tuttle takes C.H.D.R.R. out for a test drive, and Rusty… well, he just talks to his imaginary friends.

Also, make sure to check out the “Big Podcast Launch Giveaway” with over $1000 in prizes and we announce the first winner this week! Check it out at:

I am on the Gencon GM team and this is a known issue. They said they would be releasing a method to repair your drone shortly after release this week. It appears that he rules were accidentally removed from the final book as there are allusions throughout on repair, but nowhere does it describe how you do it.
