Starting Ship

Starting Ship
Pathfinder Starfinder Accessories, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Thank you for the responses folks. I've been GMing for years and I am just starting out with SF. We used this module first (a great romp) and the party is trading in the shuttlecraft for a used spaceship.

Next up is going through the Beginner box set adventure which is fun also.

Thank you again.

Hello folks,

What ships are good for first level and first time Starfinder players?

And is there a link or list with full deckplans of the ships?

Are PCs supposed to have a tier ship equal to their level?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Is there any reason I should keep these levels?

Depending on your focus it is often best to progress spellcasting.

Hope that helps.

Just found this document and I am very excited to use this. I like your focus on roles and streamlining what a creature can do. My players will be very upset I found this :)
Advice for BBG in 17-18th level adventure
Pathfinder Starfinder Accessories, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Also I would suggest applying the Cunning template from 101 Simple Templates from Rite Publishing. This type of villain would get great mileage from it. The Mystic template from there is also helpful.

With his Solid Fog ability, a ring or potion of Freedom of Movement would also be helpful for escaping as needed.
Advice for BBG in 17-18th level adventure
Pathfinder Starfinder Accessories, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

I would reward their paranoia (if they have it). Have this fellow offer to give them some item or knowledge that they really want (answer to riddle, +2 to an ability score, etc)...in return he needs them to work for them.

or

After reading up about Larabay they sound a lot like Arcade from the X-men comic. Perhaps he has designed a gauntlet of traps/tests and wants the PCs to enter the contest (send an invite) or they enter the contest willingly because they think they are so great.

Players know there are story/play hooks out there to get them. I just encourage them with more and more cheese until they can't get out (if that analogy makes sense).

Hope that helps.

Are the character sheets available for download and print out? I have two tables of kids lined up to play this and need multiple character sheets. Thank you.
Making Giants tougher
Pathfinder Starfinder Accessories, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Also check out Giant Lore and Monster's Handbook from Fantasy Flight Games. It's 3.0 material but great flavor feats in there to make giants more iconic. Also PF: Giants Revisited has some fun material in there.

When running giants, it is cool to have them bull rush and such but they give up a lot of attack actions just to move PCs around. Perhaps the Drag and Reposition feats so it provokes more Aoos against the PCs.
Onyx Hall
Pathfinder Starfinder Accessories, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Chris,

That is EXTREMELY helpful. I didn't want to divert too much from the AP and like you said stat out a whole manor and avoid undead. I'll research this some more and try it out. This can be some good role playing with minimal fighting which is also nice.

Thank you!
Onyx Hall
Pathfinder Starfinder Accessories, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Hello all,

My players have decided to go the long way around to the House of the Beasts and will be stopping by the cursed Onyx Hall (Vol 2 p54). Basically it is a cursed manor house rumored to contain a lot of treasure and has not been grave robbed in 200 years. The group is currently level 5 and mythic tier 2.

I'm looking for ideas for curses/themes. I like the idea of the further they get into the manor house a swarm/horde of undead drag them in further. Kind of like a horror house. I was thinking of hag/witch with lots of curses also and then slaves/former owners that are mad that they got cursed. The curse comes from a slave whose family was spread to all corners of Golarion and can only be lifted when all the stones of the manor burn down.

Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

Thank you.

I've gotten a lot of mileage from this pdf:

It has great and simple maps that you could scale up or down.
Idea for lesser artifact
Pathfinder Starfinder Accessories, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

I did something fairly similar in my RotR campaign. They found an old vault filled with treasures from 10,000 years ago.

Based on your description perhaps a cloak that increases his intimidation, increases the area of effect or some bonus feats that are intimidation focused. "The cloak billows forth" kind of description to strike fear into others, the fear of judgment and death.

The same cloak could also allow some kind of ghost movement or obscuring mist.

Or perhaps a magical hilt that could augment as above.

Sounds fun!
NPC Codex 2 & 3
Pathfinder Starfinder Accessories, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I wanted to make a request for:

NPC Codex 2: Write ups for all the base classes from Advanced Player's Guide.

NPC Codex 3: Write ups for all classes from the Advanced Class's Guide.

I really enjoy the quick NPCs and the suggested builds for the characters. It gives me insight into how to build the class and use them. Plus the art is usually stellar.

Just my 2 cents.
Pathfinder Module: Risen from the Sands (PFRPG)

Last year for Free RPG day, GMs were able to download the character sheets. Is that option available for this year? I think it is a fun take away and people can write on the sheets.
Making a Dirty Trick specialist: Lore Warden or Maneuver Master
Pathfinder Starfinder Accessories, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

I know it is not RAW but I'd also check out 101 Combat Feats from Rite Publishing as there are feats that help with combat manuevers.

http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/101922/101-Combat-Feats-PFRPG?term=10 1+combat

And their Manuals of Improvment magic items have books that improve Dirty Trick.

http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/118766/30-More-Manuals-of-Improvement -PFRPG

I'm going to have to check out the Duelist Weapons & Gloves.

And before reading this thread, here is a crazy NPC/monster I made with a Dirty Trick focus.

Is there any counter to scent, blindsight, or tremor sense?

For 3.5 there is the Nightstalker feat from WOTC: Lords of Madness. It allows you to use Stealth vs. Blind & Tremor Sense. They are hard to get around that is for sure. For Scent I believe there are some alchemical items that mask it for a day or so.
