Level 5 Suli Solarian Build Advice


Advice


Hey everyone,

My friends and I will be starting a new Starfinder campaign (not immediately, but it's on the docket) and I was wondering if people with more Starfinder experience than me could help point out possible flaws in this build or things I may not be aware of from lack of playing.

The build: Suli Solarian 5 (Theme: Solar Disciple)
Str: 16 (18 at 5)
Dex: 14 (16 at 5)
Con: 10
Int: 10
Wis: 11 (13 at 5)
Cha: 12 (14 at 5)

Feats:
Lv 1: Heavy Armor Proficiency
Lv 3: Weapon Focus (Advanced Melee Weapons)
Lv 5: Enhanced Resistance (Kinetic)

Stellar Revelations:
Lv 2: Stellar Rush
Lv 4: Plasma Sheath

Credits to spend (to my knowledge): 9000 as per CRB
Golemforged Plating III (5500 Credits)
Mk I Personal Upgrade +2 Strength (1400 Credits)
Called Starknife (230 Credits)
Personal Comm Unit (7 Credits)
Grappler & 100ft Titanium Cable (750 Credits)
Z-Boson Crystal, Shard (115 Credits)
Soulfire Weapon Fusion Seal (120 Credits)

Credits Remaining: 878 Credits

The other feats I would like to take are:
Nimble Moves (Lv 7)
Step Up (& Strike) (Lv 9? & 11?)
Penetrating Attack (Lv 13)

Other Revelations I am planning on taking:
Glow of Life, Blazing Orbit, Soul Furnace, Burn Enchantment, Hypnotic Glow, Ultimate Photon, roughly in that order

My character has a phobia of black holes and thus is uneasy taking any Graviton Revelations out of fear, so I'm intentionally avoiding them unless he works his way through it in the story.

Dataphiles

All-in-all, it is a very solid build. A couple things:

1) Singing discs are generally the best thrown item. It fires vs EAC and does sonic damage.
2) Jump Jets would be a good addition if you can squeeze it in. (a melee unable to close distances over gaps isn't as good of a melee) Other than that, get a jetpack as soon as you can.

Other than those 2, looks like a great build. You should also look into getting sonic resist via an armor upgrade at some point for the full suite of resistances.


I started a Solarian with a 12 CHA also. Only thing I have to say about that was "it was very, very rough". Having only 2 Resolve points when you're a 'in the face' melee type means taking lots of incoming damage.

...so the very first personal upgrade I went with was a +2 CHA.
Something to look at getting -
CyberLegs, Speed, Suspension, +10 movement for 1,900cr lvl 4
