Solarian attunement and revelations that get a boost when attuned


Rules Questions


The only threads I could find on this were several years old. (I'm not sure if this community prefers a new thread over a necro in this case; if not let me know & I'll necro next time.)

Was a consensus reached on whether you can benefit from a revelation's "while attuned..." bonuses while you are attuned to the opposite mode?

E.g., if you are attuned to graviton mode, does plasma sheath provide the extra fire damage equal to half your level? (And then end after one round as you aren't in photon mode.)

Or do attunement bonuses only work when the mode you are attuned to matches the mode of the revelation?

My reading is that you only get the bonus if you are in the appropriate mode:

Quote:

Some of your stellar revelations are graviton powers and get stronger if you’re graviton-attuned....

Some of your stellar revelations are photon powers and get stronger if you’re photon-attuned...

I wanted to double check my understanding as the old threads seemed uncertain, since the actual revelation descriptions (aside from zenith) generally just say "attuned or fully attuned". Given that there hasn't been discussion on this in years, I'm guessing there is a general consensus on this?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I think most people think you're supposed to be attuned in the same mode, and the SFS Solarian pregen backs that up. But I think there may still be a substantial minority who thinks otherwise.

I expect it to be resolved in the errata released with the pocket CRB published this summer.
