Black Hole: working on objects


General Discussion


Last night one of my friends decided to make a new character for my starfinder game. He made a Drow Noble Solarian. And when I was telling him how the first two revelations. He asked if Black Hole can be used on objects. I reread it. Book says no (per wording), I said I don't see why not. Considering that you can choose your targets and there's a lot of objects that are lighter to exact weight of creature (undetermined). I can see Black Hole being used for basically Force Push.

What do you guys thing? Yes, no, DM choice?


It would be DM choice. I have a lot of gripes about certain things the Solarian can do. It seems the classes abilities are highly capped. Their abilities sound awesome until you read the text.

Look at the Solarian Black Hole and the Spell Gravitational Singularity. Not saying Black Hole should be as strong as a lvl 6 spell but it should scale at higher levels better than it does. Even prevent enemies from escaping would be nice but it doesn't.


Yeah, it's super disappointing.

Spend 3 turns waiting to be fully attuned so I can pull enemies closer to me who can then move away from me unless I do something else about it first...

Super disappointing.

I'd rather it be able to target one person and hold them in place. Or draw them closer and keep them moving closer as long as I concentrate. And not require you to be fully attuned.

Anything that doesn't make it such a crappy choice.

Shadow Lodge

The first time I looked at that ability, I was disappointed that it didn't work on unattended objects.

Not so much for tactical opportunities, but for the idea of gravity solarians trying to stop someone from escaping and getting covered in garbage.
