Suppressed Clarification a -5 or -10 foot status penalty?


Field Test Discussion


Just got the Playtest Rulebook in the mail today and tonight looking over the "conditions", pg. 256. Noticed that Suppressed condition has a -5 foot penalty to all your speeds. However, in Thurston Hillman's post Field Test #1 Follow-Up Changes ( https://paizo.com/threads/rzs43v1y?Field-Test-1-FollowUp-Changes ). It states, "Increase Suppressed condition speed penalty to -10 feet." Just asking and wondering if the Starfinder Team might provide clarification on which status penalty should currently be applied.

Having -10 foot penalty per action, for a -30 foot penalty to movement that turn. Is far more restrictive than a -5 foot penalty per action.

Let me state I'm sure at some point Paizo will be adding a Playtest Rulebook Errata page added to the Starfinder 2nd edition Playtest FAQ. As additional feedback is provided and changes incorporated into the rulebook. Totally understand the rulebook is going to be constantly evolving over the next year. In addition that some of the changes from previous playtests. May not have been incorporated into the rulebookbook before the printing deadline.


I think this is a case of it changing multiple times and ending up at the starting point. The follow-up post is like a year old, so they could have definitely added it to the book.

We've also had multiple instances of it being -5 ft in live plays and such since then.

For now I would assume -5 is correct. Day 1 errata sound like they will be a thing so we will know soon anyway.
