I think we're on our last encounter as we've already done our rolls to Earn an Income and some other house keeping in preparation.

That being said, I have also created the soldier pc and am keen to try it out. I will start building the profile soon, so no need to delay on my account as I could roll with them if the other games not wrapped up (and might decided to do so, even if it is).

Hmm, I had thought the same as you, but also can't find reference to it (other than 1e) in AoN.
If you become unattuned you temporarily lose any manifestations, but I can't see anything indicating that being unconscious/dying causes you to become unattuned (although it makes sense to me).

Thanks GRIM*!

Hi, everyone. I'm currently playing my first SF 2e game in the current Gameday event. It appears we will be wrapping up very soon.

If that pc is available in time, I'd have a solarian with some Survival, tracking and Medicine capabilities. That said, if Big Red is coming along (Hi Big Red!), we'd have some double up with two solarians. We are currently playing in the same Ganeday table.

Alternatively, I'd like to take a Soldier for a spin to see how they differ from 1e - I enjoyed playing different flavours of Soldier in the previous edition.

Looking forward to hearing other ideas!

Recruiting for Starfinder Society Scenario #1-02: Mystery of the Frozen Moon. I'll have the game thread up Sunday or Monday

VampByDay has a reserved seat; all the other seats will be first come. Until I get the game thread set up, you can just reply to this comment.

I'd like to join, too, if you'll have me.

Thanks GM AJ. I've updated my email.

With regard to the earning income roll, Shadir does not have any craft, profession or lore skills so am I understanding correctly that he won't have a downtime roll?

EDIT: actually, I just discovered he has Underworld Lore from his Bounty Hunter background.

Earn Income (Underworld Lore): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Just my 2c here as I don't have any greater knowledge of the rules nor am I able to point to particular rules to support this, however, from what I understand, monster rules/abilities work differently than those for PCs and I have also heard (perhaps to be taken with a grain of salt) multiple instances on actual play podcasts (both PF/SF 1E and PF 2E) of monsters getting a free grab on hit and then being able to cause further damage if they maintain the grapple/grab.

I'm not sure whethet this is the case or not for this ability, but it seems in line with others I have seen or heard of.

In addition, that means Shadir does not have Shield Block.

The other creature flies toward Shadir and slams into the kasatha, but (being mindless) doesn't know to avoid Big Red's reach and thus triggers the Nimbus Surge from both spear-wielding Solarians...

Shield Block (assumed): Hardness 1, so 7 points to you and the shield.
Observation on Shadir's stat line: I think the Solar Shield provides only a +1 shield bonus, not +2 (unless there's some modifier I'm missing). Still, even the +1 shield bonus did prevent that from being a critical hit!
Reflex DC 15 save or be knocked back 5 feet and prone

GM AJ: Shadir doesn't have Solar Shield, he is using a carbon shield:

I was also going to clarify that Shadir is currently using his Solar Flare not his Solar Weapon but, upon rereading the rules to check, I have discovered that I had incorrectly inferred that restriction upon the manifestations from previous experience in 1E.

Huh. So he does have his flare. And his spear. And nimbus. And his shield.

It is nice to learn new things :)

No problem. Sorry, I'd understood it as beginning from Round 3.

Will post now.

Awesome! Very fun.

I understand what you mean about the ooze. I feel the same.

It reminded me of the brain slugs from Futurama. (I think that clip kind of supports your point)

Reynar doesn't have anything in the way of Sciences or Medicine, which on first look seem to make the most sense.

Now, it's not lost on me that you are already being very generous in allowing greater dexterity than Psychokinetic Hand normally permits and - bare with me, here - following along this same vein for a reason behind this unusual dexterity, I would like to propose the use of Profession (Musician) skill for extracting the ooze.

I'm picturing that his hands - deft from years of guitar practise - are able to manipulate the gravitational field to a finer degree of accuracy to help massage and ease the ooze from its current lair within the android's cranium.

It is one of his better skills (+9) but not his best, so I don't feel it is cherry-picking.

What do you think?

Ha! I love that!

I'd like to say that I'm really enjoying the idiosyncrasies of each of the characters.

Thanks, Thom. That's how I read it, too.

I appreciate you checking, though.

Also, I hope that life and time for gaming are both improving for you (or, at least, that life is)!

I will say that I haven't played the 2E Solarians yet, so if you're using their abilities please try to explain anything I should know about them, like the attuning effects.

No problem. This is my first time playing one so we'll learn together!

I just discovered that the Attune action can be used as a free action while rolling Initiative and have added a note on that to the first slide.

Status Update:

RPG Chronicles - Killik & Big Red are entered. 2 more needed.

Game slides - Killik has data entered (Slide 2) and token in marching order (Slide 3).

Gameplay Thread - Big Bite, Big Red, and Killik have introduced themselves. Waiting on 1 more.

RPG Chronicles and Game Slides have been entered. Also made first (basic) post in Gameplay.

Updating profile is a work in progress.

Thanks for the patience everyone.

Thanks for the understanding.

I've made a quick post in gameplay to keep things moving and will try to flesh things out over the weekend.

I've also linked his Hephaistos character sheet in his bio.

Thanks GM AJ. I appreciate the update.

I'm still around and will get on to it shortly - RL has bitten hard the past few days and prevented me from finishing my set up.

I'll try to piece something together to at least get the ball rolling and then polish it as we go.

Hi, everyone. Unfortunately, I need to withdraw from the game.

Real life has risen up to bite hard and I can't be certain that I will be able to dedicate the time to do the game justice.

It appears as though there will still be 4 players and the game can continue.

My apologies about the last minute change to plans.

Hi everyone! I'm setting up my pc and will dot in soon.

It will be my first time playing 2e in any form, so I'd like to apologise in advance for any blunders and appreciate your patience (whether feigned or genuine)!

I've got to admit, I had to look up that reference to the silver spoon.

My dad listened to the Beatles, and I remember many songs off Abbey Road, but not that medley.

Sorry about the slow posting rate, everyone.

Hey Janosian! Glad to hear GenCon was such a positive experience for you.

The link for the maps is up the top of the page under Protegees.

No problem. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us.

Sounds like it'll be a fun time! Enjoy!

I'm around - waiting to see the responses to/from Mercy play out before chiming in.

Thanks for the update Thom. I hope it's all settling down for you again.

Thanks. That's cool. I've not played a biohacker before and am not very familiar with the class beyond some basics.

That's fun and a good fit thematically for Attenuate.

Thought I'd see if we could glean a little more information from our helpful friend that might give us an/other direction/s we hadn't considered.

My thoughts are the same - forge the documents or some way hack the system to have the necessary forms and documents already sighted and processed. Or find someone who can do it for us.

Although Rar'gul's home on Nchak is close by (at least, in relative terms), with the misinformation on us out, I'm thinking there may be unwelcome eyes and/or ears there. Unless there is/are some religious entities/institutions to be found locally he could call upon?

In terms of Rar'gul's personal contribution, beyond the physical attributes, he has some traing in Culture, Diplomacy, Intimidate and Mysticism.

Sorry to hear that, Janosian. It sounds like a rough week.

Glad to hear you're okay, although I get it's bitter-sweet on account of your friends.

The week has been rough. Made it through, though.

Finally posted. Also, I added an alternate token for Reynar that uses the portrait I found online for him in his earlier iteration. If it's not too confusing with it not matching the Gameplay, I'd like to use that token.

Have a great vacation! Enjoy the time off-line.

Hey Thom. I'm here. Have dotted into the new gameplay - last few days have been a bit crazy and I'm out of juice. Will try to post in the morning.

Sounds fun! Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us.

That does sound fun, B_G!

I say go with fun, Janosian - where there's a will, there's a way. We'll get through. Besides, it sounds like the melee evolutionist would work just fine.

Cellion, a good point about skills. If I go with the ranged solarian, I re-spec him a little, since he was geared to fill the captain role for starship combat in the AP (CHA is his highest stat).

A small disclaimer - my characters are rarely optimised.

When we first discussed the idea of the proteges, my thoughts were to play a PC I'd made previously for an ill-fated PbP AP. He is a (coincidentally pahtra) ranged solarian, leaning more into revelations (particularly graviton) than martial prowess. I think this should still be different enough from Cellion's concept to not step on one another's toes.

Otherwise, I would like to take an enhanced witchwarper out for a spin.

I finally did it! The post doesn't have everything I have in mind, but I figure it is better to get back in than wait and delay further.

That was a cool mission! Nice discovery of the remote, too.

Sounds good. I'll have a think on what I'd like to play as well.

G'day, everyone.

RL's been kicking me in the pants of late. On top of that, I've been struggling to nail down how I want Rar'gul to approach this next part of the adventure. This all amounts to the reason for my lack of posting.

I have a seedling of an idea for him, hopefully I'm able to give it some water and, with a little sunshine, a post will soon sprout.

Wow. That's very generous, Thom. Thanks for the time you spent on it.

Sorry that my error killed that big moment for you/Flags. It was a pretty devastating attack.

Ugh. Janosian, if that stunned critical lands, it could make some difference.

That's too funny! Actually, now that you mention it, I remember that the previous owner of the first car I bought had installed a killswitch in the fuel line. I was a little taller than he was and would occasionally bump it woth my foot getting in/oit of the vehicle and then wonder why the car wouldn't start.

A nice idea, Thom! It might behoove us not to go around looking like the ragtag bunch of misfits that we are.

Along your line of thinking, Rar'gul has various outfits (everyday, formal) as well as ceremonial raiment.

A note on Rar'gul's anecdote: funny story - I went to high school with a girl that would remove the battery lead (the cable, not the mineral) from her car and put it in her hand bag so that no one could steal her car while she left it parked somewhere.

That's awesome, Janosian. Thanks so much for sharing the story and the privilege of your memories.

Enjoy the trip. I hope you have a great time.

No problem. I thought it highly unlikely that you'd forget to level up :D

I had some vague recollection of it having been mentioned previously, but couldn't recall the specifics.

Hey Janosian. I just noticed Doc's stat line - is she still level 6?

Welcome back, Janosian. It's great to see you again!

Hey Janosian! Great to hear from you.

You've been missed, my friend. :)

Sorry about the delay, everyone. RL is a but hectic at the moment.

GMQ, that's quite the full plate (enough for a whole dinner setting!).

I am sorry to hear about your father's health. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Please do not hurry on making any posts - our little game here is perfectly fine waiting until whenever it can be restarted.

Hey, everyone! *waves*

Just wanted to say hi and see who's around. I'm hankering to show these thugs what for!
