I have a few players in my area that were curious about the "Legacy Heritage" Boon that were acquired around Gen Con 2017, right when Starfinder and SFS launched. They hadn't used the boon yet and expressed some concerns in regards to using the boon post Society Guide 1.1 update which allows the Pathfinder Legacy races to be playable without the need of a boon. Are there any changes or errata to those Legacy boons or are they more of a collectors item?
The Wayfinders HQ and largest ship in the Society's fleet, the Master of Stars certainly lends itself to being a big ol ship with many a start points in several adventures and even some segments of the ship (1-01 Commencement for example) being able to be explored. It got me thinking on just how big is this ship, both mechanically and in description. So far, I'm thinking it's got to be a Carrier frame or Dreadnaught frame, judging by the descriptions we've seen in scenarios, although an Ultranaught wouldn't be outside of the realm of possibility. As for scale, assuming that an Explorer frame is roughly the size of the Serenity class from Firefly, then I'm guesstimating that Master of Stars is on par with the Enterprise D Dreadnaught (Star Trek Next Gen, All Good Things) in terms of scale. Anyone else have an idea of scale?
This past Saturday I ran SFS Scenario 1-23 Return to Sender in which we had a few players testing out some classes, specifically the Vanguard (a literal walking terrain piece) and the Witchwarper both at level 8, and the rest of the party making it push to tier 7-8. So far the party is doing pretty well, curb stomping everything in their path when: Adventure Spoilers:
They reached the door for area A-2 Weapons Storage which requires a key card that can be fished out of A-5 Cleaning Pit when the witchwarper decided to use their Infinite Worlds ability (level 7 specific) to lower the floor under the door to get into the room a little earlier then planned. Since the scenario didn't explicitly say that the room was sealed, just very secure, it seemed to reason that such action would work no issues. I mention this in the case of scenarios and adventures that require going to places in sequence might end up having good ol speed runner style sequence breaks happening with Infinite Worlds.
One of my favorite accessories from Pathfinder was the Harrow Deck. From the flavor to the lore to doing readings for different players (and getting some scary accurate reads too!) just captivated me. Seeing as there is a Harrow Deck presented in the CRB, I have been curious as to how a "universal" deck would look from the Pact Worlds, how would certain cards be changed on a galactic scale or from cultures that are truly alien from the Pact Worlds and their protectorates. As such, I want to "remake" these cards from the ground up, using common elements that can exist from the Pact Worlds and give them new life (if nothing else, perhaps some inspiration for the creative team to perhaps make a Starfinder themed Deluxe deck ;) ). Feel free to comment below and I'll be more then willing to curate nice and flavorful cards to make this deck something that can encompass the Pact Worlds! Suit Strength:
LG NG CG LN N: The Sun, depicted as a fiercely burning yellow star, the Sun is very much like the one in the center of the system. It is warmth and hope to some and harshness and oppression to others, giving vision to those in need and blinding the those who see too much. Only the passage of time will overpower this monstrous furnace of the elements, but until then it is the first light of dawn and the last light of dusk. CN LE NE CE: The Apocalypse, depicting the raw and unbridled force of destruction, manufactured or divine intervention, the Apocalypse should be taken as the bringer or destruction the likes that only few have witnessed and fewer can tell. Should this card appear in falsely, it could signify a sign to those seeking avoidance of such cataclysmic events. Suit Dexterity:
LG NG CG LN N CN LE NE CE Suit Constitution:
LG NG CG LN N CN LE NE CE Suit Intelligence:
LG NG CG LN N CN LE NE CE Suit Wisdom:
LG NG CG LN N CN LE NE CE Suit Charisma:
LG NG CG LN N: The Mogul, depiction of a skeletal man in the spotlight with a microphone in hand and pointing to the audience of screen, the Mogul is the forefront of drama, action, comedy, any and all media attention is good attention for them. There is no wrong place for this card to pop up, often signifying an achievement or disgrace will be on display for hundreds to thousands of souls to bear witness too. CN LE NE CE Card Credits: WishingWells - The Sun, The Apocalypse, The Mogul
As the name of the post subject implies, it's in regards to the boon from 1-18, which I'll be writing under spoilers. Chronicle Spoiler: Upon the completion of 1-18 Blackmoon Survey, players have a choice (and possibly one of the more impactful moral quandaries, which I dig) of either gaining the Sarcesian Admittance or the Bone Sages Respect. Quick question for the GM side, the character you apply this chronicle gets all the boons but does it also gain 1 infamy that's associated with receiving the Bone Sages Respect boon?
Further more, with Bone Sages Respect, one of the added affects is that your character can become a borai after dying but is that only with Core races? The lines "In addition, you lose all racial traits associated with your former race and instead gain all racial traits associated with the borai race. The old talents racial trait benefit must correspond to your former race." seems like it could go for or against applying this to a non-Core race, like if the dead character were kasatha then the borai would have the 4 armed trait but if the dead character were nuar then they would be out a racial trait. How would this be ruled?
I'm going to go ahead and write the rest of this under spoilers, buuuuuut Chronicle Spoiler:
Scenario 1-19 To Conquer the Dragon released today and upon looking at what looks and feels like a lack luster chronicle, only having one boon, it doesn't appear to be a very helpful one since it only works with the Dragonkin's Partner Bond ability, allowing another PC with a dragonkin to choose you for the duration of the scenario for their Partner Bond.
To my knowledge, dragonkin isn't currently available, or is this teasing that the boon is coming soon? I want to make sure that there isn't something missing for this scenario so if my players have questions I can answer them. Current Campaign
