Hi. Sooo... I'm doing this.

First off, putting this in nice big words.

THIS IS A SOCIETY PLAY CHARACTER.

That done, I'm swapping my Solarian to a Star Knight Archetype through a mnemonic editter I just bought today and wanted to see if I could get some advice here. I'm fine with being an Android. I'm also fine going heavy armor, etc. However, I am questioning myself on two things.

#1 is stat build. He's currently level 2, so basic point buy spread.

#2 is if I should swap the Icon theme to the Dragonblooded or Tempered Pilgrim.

In regards to the first one, here's the basic scores before I apply any ability buying to work with this.

Str: 10
Dex: 12
Con: 10
Int: 12
Wis: 10
Cha: 9

My fellow players on the forums did not steer me wrong before, I'm hoping they won't now and have ideas running around in regards to this sort of character.

The benefit for me is basically that I'm making a pretty good tankish type. I like it, and I sacrifice a few abilities (the revelations) but I think I can benefit from it.

So, what are the opinions of you fellows on the forums? Should I stick to the Icon or would Dragonblooded or Tempered Pilgrim be more beneficial to me?

What sort of stat spread advice do you have?

Hope to hear back on this. Thanks!

Hi. So, poking at this now that I've seen it. I kinda like the concept of a Star Knight Solarian, but trying to figure out exactly what I lose and what I gain is being a pain.

First question: Solarians lose revelations for each level there's a replacement feature. 8th level has no replacement feature. Do I still get the revelation there?

Second question: Star Knights list two alternative class choice sections. Since it's not real clear, are these alternatives to Guarded Attack and Willpower features at those levels, or is it something extra entirely?

Hope to hear back on this.

Hello! So, I am looking for some advice. This is an Organized Play character, as a note.

In any case, the character is an Android Solarian Icon that has freshly earned 2nd level, but I've not played yet as 2nd level.

I'm looking for advice on

My problem is that the character is pretty much a glass cannon from past play, and a melee oriented Solarian at that.

I do not want to multiclass if it can at all be helped.

I am also trying to make his name stick with it being "Mach Spirit" and going from there.

Sooo... here's the questions, advice I'm asking on.

1) Is there a decent way to setup a Solarian for melee combat with the Solar Weapon path or to make his way into melee combat without being shot down hard?

2) Is Heavy Armor Proficiency really worth it in this case? If so, can you explain the pros and cons to this? I've heard it being used before, but wanted to be sure because that's a lot of credits going into that if I do it, and it's liable to hinder my movement in most cases.

3) Anyone have a recommendation on Feats or the like to make the name stick? I'd like that a lot here, but don't know anything other than the movement feats to do that with.

Hoping fellow forum posters can give a hand here!

Hi. I had a question as I checked the Starfinder Society and was wondering if the legacy races are allowed in the society scenarios? I noticed it only mentioned the chapter 3 races in the guide, so figured ask before I even consider it there.

Hi there. So, I'm going to be at a convention in about three weeks and need some advice on how to make a Paladin that's fun. Pretty close to the ground up. The game is going to be Core, so I'm left with just the main rulebook and some traits. I'm hoping that someone out there can slap some advice down on me?

Thus far, what seems fun is a half-elf Paladin of Sarenrae. I wanted to specialize him in Disarm, so took Combat Expertise for starters. The Disarm's a good non-violent way to make a point. Plus, get the magic staff of doom away from the evil wizard type of thing. (Seriously, I ruined one poor GM's entire plotline by disarming one time. He had to call a break to decide what's next.)

I'm stuck a bit on my last few tweaks to ability scores if I need to, what I should have as my second favored class, character traits, and faction if any.

So, I'm imploring my fellow forum goers... I need help!

Hi. I'm new to the site, and new to Pathfinder. I am looking to see if it sparks my interest like the competition doesn't any more. But, my problem so far is that the only games I am seeing that are remotely close to me are all the way in Houston, which is a two hour drive for me.

So, I'm posting in hopes that maybe someone can point me towards someone who has a game or is willing to take on a new to the Pathfinder system type? Please let me know? Oh, I am in Beaumont, Texas. I'd rather avoid the two hour drive if possible. Thank you and hope to hear back soon. I'm also hoping I posted this in the right thread.
