Solarian Dark Matter Clarification

As a move action, you can draw on the properties of dark matter

to increase your density, allowing you to resist physical damage.
You gain damage reduction 1/—. This increases to DR 2/— at 6th
level and increases by 1 again every 3 solarian levels thereafter.
This benefit lasts for 1 round or until you leave graviton mode.
When you are attuned or fully attuned, your DR from dark
matter is equal to half your solarian level.

I just hit level 2. If If I am unattuned or solar attuned, I can gain DR 1/-- for 1 round as a move action. If I am gravitron attuned, I can gain DR 1/-- until I leave graviton mode.

At level 4, the gain would be 1 (unattuned or photon), or 2 (graviton).
At level 6, the gain would be 2 (unattuned or photon), or 3 (graviton).
At level 8, the gain would be 1 (unattuned or photon), or 4 (graviton).
At level 9, the gain would be 3 (unattuned or photon), or 4 (graviton).

In any event, the duration is one round, or until I leave graviton mode.

I don't think it's ever been clarified that "attuned or fully attuned" requires you to be in any particular mode.

Some Revelations, like Black Hole, do specify "fully graviton-attuned", but if you look through the list that language is pretty rare.

It has. From the FAQ:

Quote:

If a solarian stellar revelation has an additional benefit "when you are attuned or fully attuned," does that mean a solarian must be attuned or fully attuned to the stellar mode associated with the revelation to gain the benefit?

Yes. For example, to deal additional damage with the plasma sheath revelation (a photon revelation), a solarian must be photon-attuned.

Oh wow. I remember so many threads about that. Thank you for the update!
