I don't know if this belongs in this section of the forums, but I have a request for the developers on the next alien archive.
When a monster has gear such as a force field or an electrostatic field in their armor please list the effects in the creatures stat block.
For example The Bone Trooper Capt. on p 22 of Alien Archive 2 has a black force field. The only way to know that is to read the gear section. Nothing under hit points or defenses about a force field. It requires me to know exactly what a black force field is a add it to the stat block.
Another example in Alien Archive the AHAV has a Hellhound class flame-thrower. Which is a blast unwieldy weapon. The entry says nothing about it being a blast weapon, or it being unwieldy. I just thought that it was weird that a flame thrower wasn't aoe so I looked it up.
Third and the final example the Drow Noble Arms dealer in Alien Archive has an Electrostatic Field Mk2, and no electric resistance listed. Much less the idea that things take dmg when they hit him.
I am sure their are hundreds of others
With the amount of gear that exists in the game it is unreasonable to assume that we know what everything does with out looking it up. Meaning we now have 2 or 3 additional things to look up on almost every creature that we through against the party. This adds a huge burdon onto GMs for starfinder.
Also as a side note does anyone know of a decent encounter builder program for starfinder? I refuse to use hero lab as they have gone to the subscription model
