Yeah,but after a certain time limit you'd have to go to those rejuvenating chambers and have your soul swapped out for a brand new one. You don’t age, but the soul grows weary.
On a side note I'll be incorporating the Starfinder class the Nanocyte
That was converted by Far Distant Futures to Pathfinder. Adding this to an Android just seems awesome.

I'm going to call them Synths. I started this thread to "flesh out" some ideas for a futuristic city appearing on a fantasy world. Androids will be the teachers,advisors, and operators of vehicles and equipment. As the books say Androids have souls and will be citizens of this new technological city capable of making their own decisions. Androids existed before and are known throughout the world. Some fear them. Some hate them as mockeries of life.
I guess I'll let the nanites handle the physiology of the synths.

An example of an initiative modifier would be situational things like positioning, conditions, and other factors. Modifiers could be positive and negative. If I remember correctly from being a little kid, when I read the 1e dnd rules there were weapon vs weapon initiative modifiers. I don't mean for it to be that complicated, but some thing more dynamic. On a side note, I roll initiative every round.

I Didn't realize how dead this thread was when I made my comment! I googled Dragonstar and thinking it was a new thread got happy.
Starfinder's spaceship rules are pretty much a different game compared to its character scale. Dragonstar and Star Wars use the same rules regarding characters, vehicles, and spaceships.
Traveller t20 is just way more constructive dealing with spaceships.

Not to change the current topic but, I would have liked initiative modifiers and more exhaustion levels.

That's what I was looking for, Grok. Eating something not organic that would fortify their synthetic bodies. What would you suggest?

If so, is it something biological or something else?

Nice stat block!

Oh,wow! I love Dragonstar. Their vehicle rules are the best IMHO. As far as conversion, You can take guns from Star Wars d20 revised. Vehicles, as well as spaceships can be added with a little bit of fiddling. Definitely look for the Star Wars D20 Arms and Equipment Guide as it has rules for customizing your weapons and vehicles.
Far Distant Future Publishing has converted a lot of Starfinder to Pathfinder 1e. Weapons,armor,race, and classes. I love the Starfinder classes!
If you wanna go all out and get super technical check out Traveller T20. Their weapons and vehicle rules are hyper "realistic" and a smidge different. It has awesome ship layouts called geomorphs. All of these rulesets can fill in certain spot in Dragonstar. Sci-fi and fantasy together is my jam, so I have more suggestions if you need them!

Have you tried Microsized adventures by every man games? This book has rules for the large and small. I believe even for different size spell effects. Always thought certain spells should be bigger if they come from giants or larger monsters.

Has anybody looked at Far Distant Future publishing's Pathfinder conversions of the star finder classes? I like them and have integrated the classes into my campaign. Some of them won't be used until i've advanced the campaign to different planets. I would like to know people's opinion on these classes and how they would use them in their campaigns alongside the original Pathfinder classes.

There's a Godzilla pathfinder fansite with a lot of Kaiju! Most CRs are 37 I think. The Kaijus in this setting can grant divine spells and have domains. They're basically gods!
Put in d20 Toho kingdom.

Solo leveling! It's an anime. It's basically Pathfinder meets real life.

I am playing an incredible tank character in our Tyrant's Grasp campaign.

Spheres, my friend. If you're not familiar, just Google "pathfinder spheres" and there's a wiki full of what you need.

My character is a prodigy (class), and the two key ingredients are the berserker and guardian spheres.

Berserker gives an ability similar to rage, which generates temporary hit points every round. There's your durability.

Guardian gives an ability called "challenge", which incentivizes but does not force enemies to attack her instead of her allies.

Go deeper into those two spheres and the survivability goes up while the incentives to focus on her do also.

If you take a gander and are interested, I'll try and offer some explanations and suggestions.

That's right! Spheres of Might has a class called Sentinel that can give itself temporary hp, as well as a type of aggro. They have mobility being able to patrol an area. One of my favorite classes.

There's the Sentinel from Spheres of Might. It's a real tank.

There is a fan made pdf with all the core classes with each of the core races for a total of 90 1st-level stat blocks. Pathfinder Society 
Pregenerated Characters is the name of it. I can't find a link for it anymore. All I get are the Iconics. The author's name is Adam Thomas-Brashier. He also has an Advanced Player's version that I've been searching for, but can't find.

You could also try Technology Unleashed. As far as D20 Mecha, look for Dream Pod 9's Mecha Compendium. IMHO it's much better for Pathfinder. Hit Points are a little low for my taste. Definitely check out one of my favorite books Battlechangers Ironworks. Basically Transformers, but piloted mechs are a option. I have more suggestions if you need them.

5ft step sucks! How about half movement speed with a full round action? I think it's more cinematic. Just saying.

Anyone will do.They're all interesting characters as far as concepts and rules. I've seen little Path of war or Akashic Mysteries characters except yours and a very few others. I really believe a bestiary is in order for both too. That would be really cool!

Nice work! Also inspiring. I am learning to think on more than two levels when it comes to character building reading about your characters. Before it was just class and race. Now there's more creativity when I theroey build a new character.
I would like to see some stat blocks for some of these awesome characters!

Check out Spheres of Guile. I believe that there is something there under the Herbalism Spheres. Samurai Sheepdog also has the Culinarian class. It's on Pfd20 if you want to give it a look.

I mean anywhere from 5ft to 50ft per square map on a really large scale. Essentially a battlefield map with a lot of detail and terrain.

Does anybody know of a large detailed five foot grid map? Something with a lot of different terrain or features. I asked because I came across nine inch nails one hundred yard maps on Deviant Art for Mystara and was wondering if there is a large size map at a smaller scale.

Yes,pretty much. Arcforge has Pathfinder archetypes for Starfinder classes. I do not see a comprehensive conversion though.

Was there ever a conversion for the Starfinder classes? I have a 3rd party pdf called Arcforge that reads like this was done, but it seems like I have to do the heavy lifting.

Yup. I came across this book looking for a d20 Transformers. Battlechangers Ironworks and that book are pretty good. I love Dragonstar as well.

I forgot about that. I thoroughly enjoy Spheres of guile as well as Legends. I will have to see how this engineering book merges with other technology books I have.

I've introduced Traveller T20 elements to my mystara campaign. There is also a book called Technology Unleashed,but it gets a bit adult with some of its rules. Otherwise if that's not a problem,then I can't recommend this book enough.

My campaign is a typical fantasy world, however the equivalent of a Star destroyer is discovered under the city that will become the base of my setting which moves to the stars.

Cool! Do you have any first level characters?

Try Traveller T20. There's also Dragonstar.Far more advanced than WW 1, but these are just suggestions. Some reskinning may be necessary.

Nice! Can I/we get a full stat in all its glory?

Microsized Adventures has an option for sizes above Colossal. Third-party, but you can go way above colossal or way below Fine. Also a 5ft step is not the same for a colossal person as it is for a medium person. There are a couple of other neat rules too.
Other D20 books that can be used to get past colossal are Dragonstar and Star Wars D20, both with sizes for spaceships and star ports.

Yeah, I got the Architect for my G.I.Joe like all classes army. Just wanted to see if there was anything else a little bit more focused on battlefield control. The Courser from Spheres of Guile also can do some of the things I'm looking for. I have about 145 classes. A few are Gonzo classes.

Is there a class like that in Pathfinder or 3e? Something where you can quickly build defensive positions or structures. I know there is something in Spheres of Guile that lets the area around be affected, but I'm looking for structure building.

Would it be out of line to suggest the Priest class from Kobold Press? They get three domains to start with, more spell casting, no armor proficiency though. From there, it should be easy to add another domain.
I like the concept of the Priest as compared to the Cleric too! Don't forget the Warpriest and Paladin neither.

It's funny, because I have a book called technology unleashed that has musical equipment that blasts enemies using your preform skill. Also another book that has radios and guitars and other musical equipment. A space setting. The name escapes me at this time.

So it will work on a Steam Deck! This is good news.

Does it work on android?

I'd go with Slayer!

I'm with Mark and only used Hexographer and CC. I never got particularly good with them but some people are very good

This! Those links are why I love Mystara. There are a very talented group of map makers over there. Many years of experience. The 8 mile hexes bundle places up just right for me.

Check out final fantasy d20. Their classes are more powerful, but you can see the mechanics there. Also Samurai Sheepdog has the Battle Augur. It comes across as Mega Man like.

Can Chatgpt Stat out characters?

What can be done with the Genius Guide to the Talented Bestiary? How are you using it?

Have you checked out the Skills Challenge Handbook? There could be some overlap with SOG, or at least in the same wheelhouse. I particularly like how sports can be run using the Pathfinder rules.
I too would like to see DDS make a npc book. Actually I like a iconic for every class there is! Akashic Mysteries, Path of War,and all of Spheres.

It will be worth it,I believe. I'm still going through it, but it definitely adds a whole other level of game play. Think of the A-Team when Face is in charge. Another example would be when Deadpool leaves a target dumbfounded in the middle of combat. These rules capitalize on that.

Looks like I got it! I am going through the pdf right now. I love spheres and all the classes, so I will be doing a deep dive in to this pdf.

Hey, lurker. Do you have any idea on how long after the backers get their pdfs for a product to turn up on Drivethrurpg?

WHOA!!

I'm thinking logistics squad, made of the brand new classes. An army of about 145 classes can use the skills of these new classes.
Grey Lurker, are there sample characters or a bestiary?

Any updates? I know that the backers of the kickstarters are getting their pdf copies in a few days, but when can I expect to be able to buy one?
