I have 3 so far that I really like.

1. Bounty Hunter Technomancer - The Spell Cache takes the form of an implanted 3rd "eye" that randomly looks in various directions. Specializes in hunting down hackers for various corporate entities

2. Star Shaman Mystic - A sort of hippie space trucker who's taken to mercenary work to help raise money for a community he's grown attached to in the diaspora

3. Arcane Assailant Soldier - Basically sci-fi Gunslinger

I haven't heard much, just that Obozaya apparently fought catfolk rebels on Vesk-6 in her backstory. Some people say that they don't fight much anymore, which annoys the Vesk, but that might just be memes. At any rate, they'll probably get an entry in the Alien Archive come October.

Well, it requires you to fight in melee, which is a bit more difficult that it used to be, what with the proliferation of guns and all. Still, you could probably make a character who's good at stabbing a bitch and do well for yourself.

>>55075443
It's fine. The idea that all combat will be long ranged fire fights is a huge misconception, maps are no less cluttered than in Pathfinder and moving around is actually way easier. Heavy armor will be no problem at all.

Melee damage is better without bow feats, you don't have to worry about getting locked down, and survivability is increased so it's less damning to be the obvious target.

I haven't played, but melee in this setting reminds me of melee in Shadowrun. Yes, advanced technology means that on an open field anyone who didn't bring a gun will be shot from fifty directions by people who did. No, you will never be fighting in an open field.

Shadowrun has you fighting in urban environments, this game looks like it's going to be about interiors of ships and space stations. Sure, someone might decide to run a campaign set on the steppes, but it seems unlikely.

>>55077734
There's a difference between "there's just a short hallway between your SMG and the angry troll street-sam with a halberd" and "everything is nothing BUT the corners and the enemy chaos prince starts infiltrated inside charge range of your own deployment zone and cannot be shot while engaged in melee"

For a game it's fine if you can average one volley for short-ranged decently strong ranged weapons, or two for weaker but long ranged (as you've paid for this shit) ones before the melee gets to you, but if everything always appears inside "you're meleed on turn 1" range, either the GM is a piece of shit or there's some serious fuckup in the rule system.

Characters, whether white or otherwise, will be mentioned separately as "Evil" if they're shown as an "opponent" or "enemy" character, aka something the Iconics are shooting at. For simplicity's sake, the Iconics themselves have not been added to the tally.

*I have only tallied the ones whose ethnicity can be easily determined

>aka something the Iconics are shooting at

I must add an addendum, that I had also tallied characters who are, although not explicitly shooting at or being fired upon by the Iconics, are mentioned as antagonists and should be treated as such by the DM. For these purposes, Silek Odegard is one of the 12, for he is a white male and described as Neutral Evil.

Not only is he described as Neutral Evil, he is the "Enforcer" for a neighborhood on Absalom Station that has "forced out" all "non-human" residents, forming a "racial enclave" for humans, populated by humans, segregating the unwanted away.

... Are you forgetting how every lesbian relationship in the APs is shown as beautiful and perfect, with one being literal star-crossed lovers (Reign of Winter #2) and another being the ideal relationship (Irabeth and Anevia.)

>>55079134

I don't think the cat lady in the glasses consented to that.

>>55079125
>lesbians are like 166% more likely to beat the shit out of eachother than hetero couples
Interestingly, that's only because there are two women involved, and women are more likely to be victims of domestic abuse regardless of sexual orientation. Gay men are significantly less likely to be abusive to their partners.

Also, you're equating domestic abuse with physical violence. Well, the source you're misquoting is, at any rate.

>>55079174
It's a cat lady; you don't need their consent, anon.

>>55079125
The violence is caused by the internalized white patriarchy that they are struggling against.
So even though you think it's their fault, it's still YOUR fault.
Which proves you are a subconscious sexist and need to be removed from society.

>>55079191
>likely to be victims of domestic abuse regardless of sexual orientation
you mean perpetrators.
women commit like 60% of DV

>>55079202

Paizo already recognizes this, which is why white men are meant to be gleefully destroyed like the low-level dogs they are.

>>55079239

Oh you big silly willy, you didn't read the best part! Silek Odegard is not only the neighborhood enforcer for a racist Human neighborhood, he's the representative for "Absalom Strong," a grassroots nativist organization that believes the Starstone should only be used by the refugee races of Golarion and that aliens should GET OUT.

He is literally a Donald Trump expy.

do androids have families? do they fuck? they dont have kids, so they must not fuck? and if they dont fuck they dont have families. sooo... what is android society actually like? what are their motivations for doing anything? why do they have a society at all?

>>55079417
A famous pirate getting her ship repaired at your odd jobs shop dies of her wounds, bequeathing her ship and vendetta to the party.

>>55079513
>Do Androids have families?

Not in the traditional sense, but they can get married and adopt.

>do they fuck?

Absolutely, they're often humanoid in appearance and described as being used for a variety of occupations, this would inevitably suggest sex work if the breasts are any indication. They're sterile, but have the parts.

>>55079513

Androids are manufactured and they can "die" and a new soul takes hold in the body effectively becoming a different person. It's actually part of the backstory of the Android operative because he gets a note from himself essentially to GTFO as soon as he wakes up.

They also recently achieved civil rights and are kind of all over the place many living on aballon because they have a court system favorable to machine races and others are just whatever.

>>55079559
Something I'm not clear on is are they still making new androids? If they are why?

>>55079513
>do they fuck? they dont have kids, so they must not fuck?

... What makes you think "they can't have kids" means they don't have sexual organs? If anything, their sterility and status as "autistic slave race" means they're very open to sexual relationships.

>>55079574
>Something I'm not clear on is are they still making new androids?

Yes, this is mentioned in the lore. Some places operate the factories legally, but many of them (often owned by megacorporations or the Azlanti Star Empire) are producing "illegal" Androids they treat as slaves or indentured servants.

>>55079574

Because they can and do. Sometimes they are made by illicit groups and sometimes they are just fresh out of the factory. It could be that a lot of adroids have taken over manufacturing more of themselves since achieving civil rights to ensure they are being made into slaves essentially but it still happens.

>>55079559

Why the fuck should anyone be hyped for this again?

>>55079597
> they are being made into slaves essentially
>>55079596
> treat as slaves or indentured servants

Which literally makes no fucking sense at all. If you are so technically advanced that you can make androids, just make a cheaper robot to do that one menial job you'd use a slave for.
But hey, it's fantasy (and Paizo at that) so they need a poor oppressed race that are being treated bad... because EVIL. Fucking game developers.

Not sure about that assessment. It's heavy-handed, but a great many sci-fi settings heavily emphasize the difference between AI and sentient life. Creativity and problem-solving are the big ones. The Corporations probably do have lots of automation where they can, but a slave race able to generate out-of-the-box solutions? That's worth the risk of running illegal android forges.

>>55079726
Their most (only) successful game was an unashamed copy/paste of an existing game with houserules. Their status is almost entirely unearned, which is hilarious given their political affiliation.

slave + decision-making = revolt
Congratulations.

>>55079781
But historically, slave revolts are rare, and generally lose in the end.

>>55079800
>and generally lose in the end.

The one in Haiti was successful at installing a black government!

>>55079781
Also a common sci-fi plot point. Harrington had the Mesa Genetic Slaves, Thrawn had a planet under his thrall, etc.

It usually ends very badly for the slaver, but these end up closer to the Clone Army from Star Wars. Despite being patterned on the genes of a highly independent and dangerous individual, they were trained and conditioned from birth to submit to and obey certain authorities. They had a near-zero incidence of actual disobedience or revolt for the 50-odd years they existed.

>>55079111

I'm making fun of the big fat face, not the hair.

>>55079808
It was the only slave revolt in the new world that worked, and it wasn't a revolt for the freedom of all. The leaders only wanted freedom for themselves and the mixed-race slave owners wanted to preserve their slave holdings. The new government was brutal and chaotic in the finest African traditions, and it's history of un-civilization has continued into the present era.

When freaking slavers are nicer people than you, it's fair to call the new regime a failure. Unless you're the new strongman ofc.

>>55079704
Lashunta are racist against bug people for the same reason dwarves are racist against giants and orcs and such. They spent a long time at war with them, they tried to conquer them. Just because a sub sect of them broke off and are more normal now doesn't mean they just forget what they did and get all trusting and lovey dovey with them.

>>55079922
Yes it does you bigot

Why do padlocks cost more than spacesuits

>>55079952
How much do padlocks cost?

>>55079952
Maybe spacesuit costs were discounted on purpose to match 1st-level wealth?

>>55079901

My Technomancer had a run in with what he believed to be some kind of strange AI that occasionally shows itself to him in dreams and he's been chasing after it ever since as his secret goal.

If I ever get to run a game the entity will be a part of the setting. Basically a reimagining of Coyote as a free wheeling AI that likes to tackle various problems in his own way.

>>55079952
Padlocks still don't have a listed cost, you shitter.

I don't know that all those 'evil white males' should count, since in at least two pictures featuring them it looks like the artist got lazy and just drew the same guy five times using the crappy justification of 'they're in a gang, so should look exactly the same'.

>>55080262
>since in at least two pictures featuring them it looks like the artist got lazy and just drew the same guy five times using the crappy justification of 'they're in a gang, so should look exactly the same'.

Only one, actually. The one in the CRB, which still counts even if it's because the artist was a lazy piece of shit. The second image that features numerous "Evil White Males" getting mowed down by the protagonists is in Dead Suns, and that actually has five unique gang members; they aren't the same guy, and they're still all white.

>>55079757
To be fair, it's an existing game that they (at least, the company at the time) helped build - Dragon and Dungeon, when Paizo made them, were instrumental in the course of 3.0 and 3.5, both mechanically and aesthetically.
When WotC pulled it's bullshit at the launch of 4, cutting them off, they honestly did what they had to to survive - if WotC hadn't pulled the plug on the magazines, Pathfinder would never have happened, and Paizo would have continued happily towing the party line of whatever official edition exists. But instead, they made their own game with the only mechanics they knew, occasionally copying ideas that WotC was trying out, but in their own autistic way. Aesthetically, they made this great big mess, as the crappy 3.5/4.0 style clashed with the people who wanted classic pulp adventure, which clashed with the people who wanted vanilla dnd, giving us the gigantic mess that is Golarion.
Then, of course, all the new people showed up. They all suck, and yes, their status is definitely unearned.

But let the record show that I've seen Paizo art of Goblin hordes that showed more individuality between members then is on display here.

You see he is but one aspect of the Evil Triad of White Men in the colony.
The other two being:
- Harcourt the entitled rich snob who despite not doing anything evil is literally listed as "a minor antagonist".
- and Kurvis the "curmudgeonly and easily irritated" priest who "will spend his life alone" (yes these are literal quotes).

>>55081192
>- and Kurvis the "curmudgeonly and easily irritated" priest who "will spend his life alone" (yes these are literal quotes).

He's a good guy, though, because though he bickers with his gay best friend like an old married couple, they're really there to help the Colony. That said, the only respectable male character in the entire Colony is a Pathfinder Society agent (and old, to boot) which brings us to the exciting realization that the male PCs are the only "good" marriageable men in the entire Colony.

Consolidated a few rules, because feat taxes are bad. Need to get to the cool stuff.

Sweagle's Optional Starfinder Rules:

Change Automatic Weapon Trait to Select Fire Trait

Select Fire
Automatic weapons now have three firing modes that can be chosen as part of an attack.
Single-Fire: Attack normally
Burst-Fire: Gain a flat +2 to Attack and Damage to that attack, at the cost of ¼ of the weapon’s capacity in ammo spent.
Full auto fire: Weapon trait as normal


------------------------------

Feat Changes and Additions

Change Quick Draw into Fast Hands

Fast Hands
You’re faster than most when manipulating your weapon.
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +1.


Benefit: You can draw a weapon as a swift action. Additionally, when making an attack using a thrown weapon as an attack or full attack action, you can draw a weapon as part of the action of making a thrown attack with it. You can draw a hidden weapon (see Sleight of Hand on page 146) as a move action. In addition all reload times with weapons your class is proficient in are reduced to a swift action.

Normal: You can draw a weapon as a move action, or (if your base attack bonus is +1 or higher) as part of a move action, and you can draw a hidden weapon as a standard action. Reload time for all weapons is a move action.
CLEVER GRIP


By using special grip techniques and practice, you can manipulate light and maneuverable weapons as if they weren’t there.
Prerequisite: Fast Hands, dex 15
Benefit: You can treat a hand wielding small arms, or Operative weapons as empty for the purposes of any action. Such as reloading, typing, bandaging wounds, manipulating objects ect.
Normal: A character with a small arm, or operative weapon is full and cannot be used for other tasks.

>>55082233
>>55082287
Oh also wanted to add another question one of my players had. Is there anyway to scavenge the ship after causing it to become incapacitated?

>>55082287
I am thinking this as well. It seems like the real combat was over in a few rounds and it was just tedious of the enemy trying to run away while returning fire. I guess I should just have said "oh the ship is destroyed now".

>>55082322
By default, winning ship to ship combat doesn't result in the enemy ship exploding.
Board and loot in exchange for their lives, blast them and collect the parts, either way works.

Worth noting that ship BP are split from the credit system for very real reasons; do not let them try to salvage a nuked ship and sell the scrap for credits or they will damn near instantly be millionaires.

>>55082369
Can you point me to the RAW, but I like the idea of allowing them to blast them and collect the parts.

>>55077837

>>55078238
>>55078350
Well we know who came first... which one of you was the waifu again?

>>55082407
It's like the central conceit of the BP system. When they upgrade their ship just say they got the parts from salvaging

The best part of the Starfinder setting, since it's in space you fuck right off to the other side of the galaxy to a new system, away from the identity politics of the pact worlds.

Downside is, it means you won't be able to stay and hangout with all the space liches and you'll miss out on the spicy torture porn gameshows of Eox.

Hmmm.... maybe we could nuke another planet out in the Vast and offer it as prime real estate for the up and coming space zombie looking to set up shop.

How often will social skills even come up?
The way I see it you roll culture to not piss off aliens, so diplomacy is useless.
Intimidate is already useless on its own.
Bluff needs you to be ultra-invested in it to ever beat a Sense motive, and even then it's still unlikely.
Disguise is literally a potion you can afford at level 1.

>>55083406

You roll Culture so you know how not to piss off aliens. You roll Diplomacy when you want to convince them to do something for you. You roll Intimidate when you don't want to ask nicely. Liars should invest in Bluff if they want to be good at it. Disguise helps keep people from realizing you drank that potion.

Maybe "autism" isn't the right word, but there's definitely a learning disability of some sort going on there.

>>55085994

They mostly harp on Bajorans, really.
Not that it isn't deserved but they are kind of a dick about it too.

So I was thinking of creating of an android empire that was a forward expeditionary force that went rouge and founded their own civilization in a distant system.

How would succession work? One idea I had was that there would be royal monarchs. The idea being that when one moves on and releases their soul, the other one takes their place. The newborn android is essential the prince or whatever and is groomed to be the next ruler when his time comes. Essentially the "royal bloodline" is these two androids bodies constantly switching places with new souls and such. And for added flavor, lets say that the two bodies are near identical and they were originally the leaders of the force when they went rouge.

Another thing, the book states that methods of mass productions of androids with souls and shit were are actually known. So, would a civilization of androids use this method of procreation or would they see this as a symbol of their oppression and devaluing their lives?

>>55086087
Why do it at all? It's nice to imagine that your character gets to install some skills to their cyber-brain, and it's easier to imagine that the bonuses your computer is giving you are intrinsic to your character if your character is an Android rather than a human with an implant, but...

They're terrible bonuses. An Operative (or Envoy, but everyone hates them) with an emphasis on Charisma is likely going to have ratings in those skills at +8, +10 if Specialized (or higher if they're really focusing, I spitballed that number assuing Dex and Cha were both 16). Meanwhile, your level 1 character's tier 1 computer gives you a +2. The Operative continues to improve as they level, but you're still only adding a +2 every time you update your OS. You're never going to keep up with the DCs, whether they're based on what the Operative can do or the downright hostile suggested numbers the book provides.

Nice to imagine, if you're into comfy. Which you are, you shameless catgirl avatarposter. But not really relevant to actually playing the game.

Actually your first question should be why they're all still humanoid (or perhaps 'how long' before they all stopped being so).

Combine a neo-feudal movement based partly on popular icons in the 'kingdom' and form following function.

So you've got a nobility, except being robots they really can't excuse complete uselessness and wastefulness, so nobles are stuff like icon-type diplomats whose decadent styles and ornamentations are meant to optimize awe to shock ratios during negotiations.

You've got knights, which are probably outright goddamn mechs, with their 'squires' / 'steeds' (and CAS) being fighters or shuttles (latter the equivalent of a draft or heavy warhorse) carrying extra munitions and equipment-packs a-la-toomanyGundamseriestocount.

i find it hard to believe that a high IQ race like androids, with their history of slavery, would create a monarchical empire. make them a republic or direct democracy ffs. at the very least make them some kind of oligarchic technocracy.

that doesnt mean they cant be militaristic, and aggressive, and nationalist. model them off the united states in early 1900s/ late 1800s. democratic crusaders.

and i would add, their low cha, and unique reproduction, is probably going to lead to a social structure that is not as heavily dependent on social relationships. families, clans, bloodlines, all that kind of shit would be irrelevent to androids. i see them adopting some kind of turbo meritocracy

>>55086354
I imagine that their family structures would be less set in stone and more informal. I'd imagine two androids who awakened the same time in the same place seeing themselves as siblings or and older android taking in a lost and confused newborn.

I also imagine that that their equivalent cemeteries would be a hall of records listing the names and accomplishments of specific android personalities.

You think they would have special places to do their soul release thing, or is it just something you do in your room?

>Meanwhile, your level 1 character's tier 1 computer gives you a +2.

Try a tier 2 computer. Ignore the bulk restrictions, because you place it inside a personal comm unit anyway. Computers are affordable.

>>55086437
there will be a need for some kind of system that guides new android souls into their new life. maybe that could be a family, maybe a government agency, maybe a educations system/training program.

maybe families consist of the same bodies and they support eachother when they are new souls. they develop emotional attatchements over multiple generations with eachother. a "father" cares for a "son" when the son is young. then when the father dies the son cares for the new soul in the old body unitl it is able to care for itself.

>55086485
>Ignore the bulk restrictions, because you place it inside a personal comm unit anyway.

Off to a dodgy start, there, but moving on...

Tier 2 is doable at chargen, but you're taking a larger chunk out of your starting funds and away from the thing your character is good at, which is not going to be social because...

+4 still isn't very good. Better, sure. You'll probably get some mileage out of the Sense Motive, because everyone can roll a social spot check, but it's still not enough to make you the social guy, and it doesn't stack with your social skills if you are the social guy anyway, and you just spent ~300/1000 starting credits on something other than a better weapon or a few extra grenades.

Why not just pretend that your character is good at social and not tell anyone at the table or write anything down? It's a cheaper option.

What do you do now?

>>55086684
But you are considering putting time and effort into taking what is functionally half a skill in a game system that doesn't support that as a viable option.

Being sort of good at something rarely works in RPGs. Being sort of good in a system where everyone's complaining about the obnoxious save DCs is really unlikely to work well unless the mechanics aren't really the reason you're doing it. In which case, just roleplay a character who is social to the degree that you want them to be, and don't roll any dice for that. You'll probably have more fun.

>>55086834

So I am joining my first Starfinder Campaign, we have been told nothing of the story and I have been asked to make a character. I need inspiration, is there anything someone might recommend. or any quirky ideas that they have wanted to try after playing??

>>55086824
So what? Is it a different computer if you change what version of windows you're running?

Kill its variant/descendent/replacement the same way it once killed yours.

>>55086824
So the guy's dead. If you're a vengeful sort of dick, you kill his "kid". If not, you let it pass.

If you're doing an entire episode about that specific dilemma, you might have a plot twist where it turns out that he's not actually passed on, but faking it to get out of his obligations. But that works better for a sci-fi TV series where that detail gets introduced in the first act and fully understood by the audience in the third act. In an RPG, we all already know that's exactly how androids work, and we assume that it makes sense in setting. (Or we insist that it doesn't make sense, and that there is no explanation that would make it make sense, and we enjoy complaining about games we don't play.)

Does make me wonder though. How do they tell? What widespread device or technique allows you to discern which soul is in a particular android body?

Also, I think the idea that androids let their souls pass on every century or so is a really neat idea, but it doesn't make sense in Starfinder which has Space Elves and Space Dwarfs and probably Space other races that live for centuries. I really don't care for the standard fantasy races in this setting, but I guess they're relatively easy to remove being hidden away at the back of the book. More of Paizo being super-conservative with their design.

They should have just made the spaceship part more spaceoperish and "magical". So that the only actually pricey part of the ship is the FTL-drive and even that could be partially cut by having a wizard with say skill ranks in astronavigation.

So Far I'm debating between:

Outlaw Android Mechanic that acts like a mixture of Jonah Hex, Mad Max, and Django Unchained. He was a slave of the Azlant Empire until his greedy master went to Embroi to make a deal with a devil. The noble didn't read the fine print and was double crossed by Embir and ripped apart. My character fled while they ripped him to shreds. Their ship was busted as soon as he got there and waited for the Embri to scavenge most of the ship. He then snuck back in and scavenged as much as he could to create something that he could use. Except for an antique revolver the noble had all he had was scrap metal. He used that scrap metal to build his drone "Black Betty", a robotic combat horse he used to traverse this hell planet. For the few months he remained on that desolate planet he went Cowboy Doomguy on the embri to scavenge parts to upgrade his horse and make a beacon to get out of there. He lucked out because another noble came at the end of the forth month to make a similar deal. He ambushed the noble, freed the slave (a Lashunta female), and took his ship off the hellscape while Embri started to swarm the noble's corpse. The Lashunta showed him that the noble had several slaves he was going to sacrifice to the devils in the cargo bay. Seeing that enough was enough he flew as far as he could into the disputed free space where he was attacked by pirates. The pirates wanted the loot since he was in a noble's ship but once they boarded they realized what was going on. They still wanted the ship and anything they could scrap. Free Captain that attacked them, a one-eyed Ysoki with a mechanical leg noticed the girls in chains and despised slavery (as he was once a slave to Azlant himself). He interrogated my character and let him go after the other slaves collaborated his story. They still took the ship but to make sure they would be safe my character joined the pirate crew as payment.

>>55087807
He obtained his name Solomon from his chassis type Sol-0-Mn1 and his last name is a reminder that there are no strings of the Azalant tying him down. After joining the pirates he helps with their sieges on Azlant ships and also acts as a liaison between the Abolitionists and the few Free Captains opposed to slavery. Azlant has a high bounty on his head but he's slowly becoming a psuedo-icon in his own way.

By the looks of it, Operatives can get 4 attacks, but have to do it with Operative weapons (space knives) or small arms (pistols) which means... Well, even if you do as much damage as the guy full-attacking with longarms, you'll get fucked twice as hard by damage resistances.

>>55092421
Solarians are the ones I've seen people say that about, not Envoys

>>55092462
Devil's advocate. It's extremely easy to avoid improvisations that use Cha, at which point none of your class features scale off of it. Envoys are also still generally the best faces even with a lower Cha modifier since expertise outscales every other skill bonus on average. Cha is only absolutely necessary for resolve points.

But yeah, I do agree with the other guy. You'd be a shitty operative if you aren't going to pump your face skills. I'd really have liked to see one more Cha-based feature on envoys.

High g (the variable, denoting general intelligence) on a properly proctored, accredited IQ test. g isn't the only quality involved in intelligence, but it is the most important, and fully applicable to all facets.

The "IQ tests are culturally biased" myth is on par with creationism, btw, so you might not want to mention it around any psychologists if you value their friendship.
