[Official] Starfinder Society Boon Request Thread

[Ohrns]

This isn't something for the Boon Store, but this seemed like a logical place to post the idea.

It always seemed weird to have items on a Chronicle Sheet that you can buy from the Core Book anyway - like a Static Arc Pistol on a 1-2 sheet. It can be cool story-wise, but you can buy it anyway and say it was acquired from the story, so I never saw the point of listing it on a Chronicle Sheet.

Instead, items that are the same level as the tier you completed could be listed at a 20% discount (or smaller - whatever doesn't break item level balance).

For example, a Zero Pistol, Frostbite Class (Core, Level 5)

On a Tier 3-4 Sheet: Costs the List price of 3060 credits - the advantage of buying it off the Chronicle is being able to get it at Level+2

On a Tier 5-6 Sheet: Costs 2448 credits - the advantage of buying it off the Chronicle is the discount, as you are already able to buy it at full price anyway

The goal is to make every item on the Chronicle Sheet special and actually significant for being listed.

Boon to let a Precog cast using Dexterity instead of Intelligence

Broken Cycle Boon Please.

I know there is at least one other post requesting this but I wanted to add another plea. I just started getting interested in Starfinder and I was excited to make my first Starfinder Society character. I was very interested in the Solarian but I hate the whole forced balance aspect. I don't feel it is fun and overly restrictive.

I want to make a Graviton Solarion. I want to use my cool gravity powers and use my jet black armor or use my jet black weapon. I have no interest in the Photon side and don't want any of those abilities.

I'm just learning Starfinder so I don't know is Broken Cycle considered overpowered or something? Is there reason why it is specifically not allowed?

I just want to play a Gravity Edgelord. Thanks.

Likewise, I would have loved to just focus on the photon powers. I find it baffling that Broken Cycle was not allowed in Society Play - I can only think that it has to do with the Lore concept that Solarians were all about creating balance in the universe. Likewise, just about every broken cycle Solarian that we have seen as an NPC was a villain (many in the cult of the Devourer.)

But Starfinder has played with so many other villain tropes in their storyline where former villainous races are not evil but just misunderstood.

I know that in Starfinder 2e, most of the coolest abilities have the cycle trait which flips one from mode to another, but it does allow you to declare a preference so that you can start combat attuned to one mode or another. But that's a digression.

I fully support the concept of Broken Cycle Solarians, and would love a boon for them!

I'd love to see the bequethal boon return. Letting you send a boon from an adventure to a character who can make better use of it seems like a good way to avoid burn out from replaying things and "optimal paths"

STARFINDER SECOND EDITION BOON TIME

We publish under the ORC license, so we need an Orc Ancestry boon for Starfinder Second Edition!

This was also requested in this thread here.

Fangs for your consideration,
Hmm

The Aiuvarin and Dromaar heritages were shown to be fairly common in the Pact Worlds in the last edition, so they also need boons.

I am sitting on a wealth of SFS1 AcP and I'm not going to buy unlocks for new alien species on new characters, since all of my new character energy is going into Starfinder 2E. One thing that occurs to me would be something like an "Unexpected Ineritance" boon (or series of boons) in SFS1E that allows you to designate a 2E character and give it some version of the following:

* An extra dump of credits to a designated 2E character
* Access for a single designated 2E character to purchase a single designated 2E item that is up to 2 levels higher than the character

I'd suggest these as two separate boons, since it's very likely you'd need an influx of credits to purchase a piece of advanced equipment, and that way you'd be able to purchase each of the boons. You'd probably want to put a restriction, for example that each 1E character can only purchase one of the boons or that each 2E character can only receive one of them (or one of each), although I'm not sure how unbalancing it would really be to the overall game if someone wants to load up a level 1 character with a bunch of level 3 equipment early on ...

I also think adding some System Traveller boons (or calling them something else) would be good, so that if you wanted to unlock the core Pathfinder races in SFS2, you could buy those with your SFS1 AcP. Modifying or adding System Traveller boons in PFS2 to also work for SFS2 would also be helpful, as a way to spend those PFS2 AcP.

With the SFS2e Boon store now active, there are the basics like mnemonic editor and resurrection of course as well as access to the Core Legacy ancestries (dwarf, elf, etc.)

But one basic boon that hasn't been added yet is Hirelings. They're very useful especially for those characters that maybe can't invest in Social or Tech skills to at least be able to contribute in certain Society situations. So, can we please get the Hireling boon(s) added?

Good idea. That's a good one to add.

[Squark]

Could we get a boon that allows a dead character to return as a Borai or Corpsefolk (provided they weren't already undead)? It sounds like a fun alternative to resurrecting, and I think I've heard something like it existed in SF1?
