My girlfriend and I are currently playing a brother-sister pair. She's a paladin, I'm a cleric.

>>53553918
My dawrf has a huge family. More than 100 brothers and sisters huge. I assigned one sibling as a mirror to each of my party members so I can constantly chime in with stuff like "That's exactly what Horin would say!"

>>53554265
This question has a simple answer, exactly one year from conception (which is typically 12 months or 365 days, Elves love their symbology) but we could explore the concept even further and come across some startling revelations.

More specifically, would it be unwise to assume the Elves share qualities of native woodland fauna? I mean, take the deer for instant; swift, noble, wise in the animal way and kings of the forest, they're practically Elves themselves, so what if Elves shared characteristics of a cervine nature? Of course, this would mean Elves would have twins; During times of plenty, deer will typically have twins, it's quite the problem in suburban areas where food is at a maximum and stress is at a minimum. Elves likewise will suffer the same fortunes, which explains why so many of them are so gosh darn SKINNY. It's not just a product of their bodies, but a deliberate attempt to keep themselves from producing too many god damn kids when the batter sticks. Intentional mild malnourishment, in other words, with all the implications a full-figured Elf might posit.

It would also, if we continued this Deer analogy, suggest that Elves are able to operate at full capacity right up until birth - Elves just don't really *show* like Humans do, a valuable trait for a swift woodland creature who needs every muscle working properly until it's time to have kids. And why shouldn't this make sense? Humans jury-rigged their uteruses to produce large-headed young and we're still reaping the consequences, Elves are either Super Duper Ancient or Made By God, they'd either be Built Tough or sufficiently evolved.

But yes, exactly one year.

Well, my previous character gets along with most of her family, especially now that she's moved out after the rape. Sure, she was possessed, but her brother really didn't deserve it.

My current character outlived everyone in his family some two or three thousand years ago.

My next character is either going to be a tiefling who doesn't have much in the way of family, or a slightly obsessed and somewhat imaginative twin to another player's very down to earth character. They only share a bed for sleeping purposes, anon.

What would be a meaningful way to involve a character having family that doesn't involve immediately killing them?

I would think for something like Starfinder where, instead of being a wondering hobo you have some place to go back to (the two major places being Verces or Abasolom) Maybe if you have a business they maintain it for you while you're out doing the adventuring aspect or work on projects like making X items or whatever. This also goes with having skills that wouldn't make sense for a wondering hobo to have that would be better suited to having a place you can do them (like having a shop or lab or something)

Although I suppose when you think about it you can replace family with random loyal doods and not have the emotional impact of them being killed off.

Everyone's gotta have a family, somewhere. You make them meaningful by making them own some family business the party can use. Who needs Random Shopkeep #3 when Dad is a pharmacist and Mom knows how to cook a mean lasagna? Or, as >>53554617 suggests, just keep 'em on the ship.

Actually, Tenno armor is bad. Really, really fucking bad.

Where the corpus have recovering shield generators, and the Grineer have extremely good alloys they use for their armors, the Tenno have shields (Except for Inaros and Nidus) that are far, far weaker than anything the corpus can pull out, and armor ratings that are paper next to what the grineer can manage.

Like, a corpus character will be able to hit something around 4k shield HP at level 30 or so. Grineer? they'll have around 4000 armor. No Warframe can even come close to that.

Instead, the Tenno rely heavily on their mobility, fast ability to act, and how utterly bullshit their abilities can be.

It's not bad so much as where your priorities are.

Mesa is not meant to tank bullets to the face but Rhino can, Volt is meant to go fast and Loki is Loki.

If everything was meant to tank bullets to the face without flinching that wouldn't leave us a lot of room to do other stuff.

Oh, I know, but you as a Tenno can't pilot a Warframe the same way a Grineer Bombard might walk into a room blithely, even if yoiu're one of the tankiest frames in the game, such as Inaros.

I feel like it's an interesting contrast, but it's a bit of ground rules if you eventually want to build such a character in Starfinder. No doubt the whole "not actually in the suit" thing is liable to be downright impossible as well.

Of course, being in the suit means you've got some mighty large curves to fill for any of the larger ones.

>>53555356
Okay; you might remember me as the Kozuni player. I had an array of similar-sounding names I was trying out for her. Mostly, the biggest choice was between "Kozu" and "Pazu", but I wanted those two to be informal-yet-official ways to call her, and so be a little bit longer; like you'd call a Maxence, just Max. I tried out several ways to finish these names with a gnollish sound to it (at least how -I- see gnollish language) and PazuZU sounded like a nice backdrop to KozuNI. First, it's a repetition, and that makes it more diverse, second, I couldn't do Pazuni or something like it anymore, because (Mighty Quest crew if you're reading this that is spoiler) the two characters are twins and so their parents tried to not make their names sound alike like it was a stupid joke but they didn't realize they'd end up mostly called by the shortened versions, which makes said stupid joke - Kozu / Pazu. [spoiler/]

Both twins agree Kozu should have gotten Pazu's name and vice-versa but that's just flavour referencing how I had a hard time picking[spoiler/]

>>53555455
>Okay; you might remember me as the Kozuni player.
Suddenly things are much clearer.

One of the big obstecles here is replicating some of the powers of the warframes.

Right now we don't really know what sort of spells we have with the mystic and technomancer but I don't really see the element bending to the degree warframes can do (even though Hydroid gets no love it seems having water tentacle is pretty dank in my opinion).

>>53555482
there's also the fact that warframe and Pathfinder are completely different systems. where in warframe you need to aim and if you hit, you hit, there's no such mobility thing preventing you from being hit in a game like pathfinder. Both of the Tenno's primary weapons (mobility and powers) are going to be hard if not impossible to replicate in Starfinder, just due to the nature of how the game systems work.

You may be better off trying to base a character on the Grineer. There has to be at least a few organizations spewing out defective clones that make for cheap soldiers.

Gotta admit, I way prefer the aesthetic of the Grineer over that of the Tenno or Corpus I've always been a fan of cybernetics, and something about their color palette and the bulbous way their armor looks is really appealing. Given they're much easier to replicate in most sci fi games anyways, I don't see a reason not to copy them over the warframes themselves, even if Warframes are way more powerful.

I'm now imagining a touching schene where the ship's mechanic is kneeling down in front of the team's soldier, and doing maintenance on one of his cybernetic legs.

Their values don't exactly align with Abadar. The basic premise for their ideology is that everything has value and therefore everything has a price the currency being anything from money to the time you invest in something up to and including selling your soul. The basic tenets have spawned various religious cults who trace their lineage to these texts, the nicer ones aligning with Abadar and others being super self-serving assholes. I still have to iron out the basic tenents but I'm hoping to make them more than just evil space jews as is the normal depiction

That gives me ideas. I threw out the idea of session zero the setting but now I'm thinking what would be cool if the characters you play with on a meta level go to various "arcades" to play different adventures loading up characters they make?

So let's say your "characters" are taking a break from a session and you have to do a monster of the week so it helps you, the DM figure out how to do the encounter when they start up the actual game again?

The one time I've seen a game within a game was with this group called Drunk and Ugly, They were using Fate Core for a Fallout game but when they went inside the mind of their robot PC they used Dungeon World for for that sequence.

>I dunno if I'd call them 'benevolent', but yeah, the soul trade would be a massive market space for this sort of people. A whole new currency to work with.
>Make sure they're extremely offended by Daemons though - daemons want to destroy souls, which at this point are a currency. they literally want to destroy money. What the fuck?

Yeah, Benevolent is a bad way to put it. Maybe more like, if you want to do some good but need something you can't get normally they will gladly take your soul to help you accomplish it so someone selling their soul to start a business that helps people is totally something they would do

Guys, clunky robots with advanced AI is such a staple of Sci-Fi that Paizo would be retarded not to include it. That's just not going to be a thing you can do at level 1.

Stjarnagardr GM here.

I know that at least three of my players have characters that have siblings.

For Ulfric (One-handed, middle-aged Cleric of Pelor/Fighter), we've met his aged mother, both of his older sisters, their children, and Ulfric's (soon-to-be-legitimized) bastard son.
It's a good challenge for me as a GM to make each member of the family memorable and distinct, but still cohesive as a family.
They're all very proud of Ulfric for going out into the world and doing good things in the name of Pelor and the Steelhand family. Although, they sure do miss him quite a lot.


For Skrin (Ratfolk Scaled Fist Unchained Monk), we know that she comes from a large family, and that she's the middle child in a group of somewhere between 7 and 10 siblings. Sometimes it's hard to remember who is a sibling, cousin, or aunt/uncle. I don't think that they noticed too much when she left.

For notable NPCs, I have a trio of brothers who work with their mother on a trading caravan; a half-elf lesser noble with a two much younger siblings; and the only-child half-breed Hobgoblin Sorcerer (Orc Bloodline) who the party basically press-ganged into joining them after capturing him as a prisoner from the Hobgoblin war camp.

>Pic related is what I want to start off with, just as long as I'm actually playing a robot and not a synthetic human.

I don't think anybody's going to stop you if you found reasonable alternatives to the "organic" functions Androids have to do. Their CPU is a bit clumsy, so they need to "rest" and let it cool down while they go over low-intensity programs, or they have gel-packs that provide lubrication, coolant and power as "rations."

Only part of that it wasn't immune to was energy drain, and a PrC fixed that.

>>53556430
No, that's not what I had in mind. It's more personal than that.

If I went ahead with the idea, the twist is that she's actually sterile. So, there'd be an undercurrent of desperation to her quest to restore her family's name. There isn't going to be a second chance, because she's the last one left. Everybody else is gone and she can't have children. If she fails, her line will be forever disgraced. Even if she succeeds, it means her family will be extinguished. All that's left would be a record of them as heroes rather than craven traitors.

>>53556462
>>53556457
Do it Star Wars style.

There, most 'Bots have simple AI that lets them move around, but the more you challenge them, the smarter they become.

For example, a Maid bot who makes soup, but she gets asked to make it crunchier. As they ask and look up recipes, they get more and more unique until they are basically a person.

>>53556502
That's what we are here for. Star it up and we'll help you improve it

>>53556476

Golarion with it's own version of modern day? Although you did say brining in the WoD crowd so maybe an alternate setting where the monsters have taken over and the setting turns into a modern day dystopia?

>>53556526
>I mean, we kinda already had that in 3.5, didn't we?
That's my point

>>53556439
Hmm. there's no poop rules in Pathfinder anyways, and I doubt Starfinder will change that; as long as I have some form of food, and a need for a rest period (nightly recharge and debug) then I could probably get away with claiming my armor is a different chassis rather than armor.

When the eventual mechs come out (they've been confirmed) it'd just be another chassis thing.

>>53556552
>There, most 'Bots have simple AI that lets them move around, but the more you challenge them, the smarter they become.

Most of that experience isn't fighting unless you're killing goblins straight out of the womb.

>>53556623
Easy to create drama from them, because it inherently give the person something they hate, a person or type of people they hate, and something to catapult them into a "JUSTICE" mindset, or bring them deeper into being jaded.

That's the big thing. It's easy.

World darkness is about the monsters living beneath the surface and hiding behind a thin veneer of civility and control. On the surface it resembles OurWorld very closely but when you scratch past that the ugliness starts pouring out.

For Golarion it would be like Modern Age with a time of peace that resembles ours very closely especially in terms of visual and Technology but when you look past that and become aware what the world really is you realize it's actually cabal's of evil Cultus or vampires or liches actually running everything and having Shadow Wars that the general populace is unaware of.

>>53556647
Think of it like Chappy.

You learn to cook and clean for your owner, but one of the other 'Bots hands you a weapon to back them up because they live in a bad neighborhood.

What weapon was it?
How good were they with it?
What was the owner's opinion on their bot trying to defend them?

>>53556552

Honestly my idea would basically just be warforged adapted to starfinder. You can justify their inexperience by them being fresh off the conveyor belt. Or perhaps some sort of the triggered them having Souls now and all of their original subroutines no longer work so they have to learn how to be people as well as Warriors again.

>>53556689

Well Anonymous you either learn quickly or you tend to die quickly.

Rich Great-Grandfather had 10 kids with a woman in a town called Madtown on a tropical island. Moved to the continent and had another 15 kids wih her wife's sister and another 2 with the later's daughter. Mysteriously died. Each descendant had another 15 kids with each having 8 kids. One changed his family name and was lost track off.

What would we call them? I don't think they should all be combat bots out of the box but maybe something like Frames from Destiny where they serve a number of purposes from maintaining the infrastructure to being soldiers

>>53556730
So, I'm thinking the "warforged" would be largely unchanged from their 3.5 iteration, with the solitary exception of their stats. Assuming Starfinder doesn't deviate from Pathfinders stat setup, I could see +2 con, +2 int, and -2 cha for stats

I can agree to Synths. Perhaps one of their racial features would be their original tasking influences them in their newly awakened state. A synth designed to be a hospital orderly/nurse would have skills in medicine for example.

Anyone got a link to Legacy of the First World or Adventurer's Guide pdf?

>>53556804

Synthetics are closer to what the Android is I think.

In fact if you kept both of these races you could set up this Paradigm where the older robotic looking race has been slowly phased out and has lost its purpose at the same time that hit is developed awareness and a soul, while Androids have become the new favorite child of the created races that other species like Humanity has championed and considered more of their child creation.

It would add an air of tragedy about them.

>>53556844
>Before it goes on a mission, the 'Bot makes everyone's bed

>>53556844
That's easy enough to cover with a racial trait that makes one or two skills into class skills, with your choice of which one.

>>53556874
Well sure, the Fallout synths are basically Starfinder/Pathfinder androids, but that doesn't mean we have to make the words and descriptions line up. Synthetic is just for a degree of separation from the androids, which are a much more specific form of synth.

I'm pretty sure basically all my elves/half-elves are related to one another in some way. This is likely just because I'm an uncreative hack who can't be assed to come up with a new last name, but I like to pretend it's something more than that. A big, connected yet convoluted family tree feels perfect for elves.

Unfortunately, all my non-elves haven't actually had any important family mentions, which drives me a bit mad looking back since family is something really big to me. It's just really hard to make it a good hook for anything in some games.

>>53556853
Head back a few threads, LeakAnon dumped them. Between the two, LotFW is the way better release.

>>53556926

Synthetic as a word has closer connotations to as far as I can tell replicating existing naturalistic effects whereas these big robotic looking guys don't look natural at all. I'm also saying this because synthetics are very human-like artificial life from the Alien franchise and I believe that term is also been used for similar Androids in other universes but don't take my word for that.

Heck you could even keep the name warforged if these are robots were intentionally designed to be a part of a military eing whereas Androids are more general purpose and interacting with society at large.

I dunno, my idea on it was more along the lines of "Synthetic Intelligence" than "unnatural copy of existing thing", but I get your point.

Warforged is a bit too on-the-nose, and doesn't cover for other types of bots that can become player characters.

We could just call them robots.

I said it before and I'll say it again, this does not feel like something you should be gunning for at level 1 unless you're some gangly-ass skeletal shell of a synth repurposed from a common target practice droid.

My counter point would be first of all those designations will be Irrelevant in the face of classes and what they say about the character and secondly you're speaking way too much for an outlier, an edge case, whereas most adventuring types even in this science fantasy adventure game would be ones predisposed and trained for combat, war and the stresses of violence. A janitorial robot would be a huge exception that proves the rule.

And even then in the case of the janitor robot they would have to make very quick and great strides to make themselves efficient and capable enough to be doing that line of work otherwise 1 what is the point of bringing them along and two they would be a liability in a danger to everyone else around them which suspends your disability that they will be allowed to go long at all except in preps the most ramshackle of raiding crews or motley defenders.

Both of them are PoW-using light armor fighters, one was a Str two-handed swordsman and the other was a Dex-oriented martial. Both emphasized critical strikes and big bursts of damage. Their saves are actually pretty normal aside from the two hander having good Will save and the dex martial being an aasimar and thus immune to some early level spells.

Thats the thing, it feels that sort of idea never even occurred to the DM. His solution is of course, to throw more numbers into the problem. The one time he did use spells, they were a DC 28 Dominate Person, against an L4-L5 party, and an enthralling song

My first plan for a character is the Soldier e-celeb I was talking about a few days back. Popular guy on the Starfinder equivalent of Youtube, he shows off different guns in live fire scenarios, and then does vlogs about things.

I might also want to roll with a robot like was said up above.

How many of you will quit an existing Pathfinder campaign to get into a Starfinder one?

Not even if it was an E.Y.E campaign. I won't do that to either of my groups.

>>53559281
I won't, but given my group prefers sci fi, we're more likely to just play Starfinder after bringing our current game to a close, so I won't have to in the first place.

The bad girl.

I' m about to play in all evil party around cheliax in a team of 4, from level 1. 20 point buy.
No homebrew no 3rd party, though the DM allowed after reviewing that I can play a vitalist.

I'm going for a human, with a 8/10/14/12/20/8 array, and the Sadist archetype, with the Intercessor method. Is the Soul leech archetype good enough to combine with my current chassis ?
What feats do you suggest for me to take ?
what items, considering I got through the background generator the Rich parent traits, hence 900 gp at char gen ?

Are there enemies with both fire and ice resistances/immunities?

>>53559281
One of the running games here is actually going to port to starfinder. The whole campaign had to deal with time and timegods and stuff, so it so the GM seems like he is going to be doing a good job about it.

>>53559281
The only PF game I'm in is Iron Gods anyway. And then two custom games I run with a fair chunk of technology in each. So no real need to quit just for Starfinder.

>>53559371
basically any outsiders. I recommend Devils.

There are issues with the setting that make me queasy about joining... GM, no offense but you can't really build a Neo-Rome correctly.

Remember when we talk about how fucking impossible it would be to culture-wipe people? You said Rome kept doing that, but you didn't find examples before.

That's because what it TAKES to do it is systematically murder everyone's parents and raise the children as your own. I have a friend that is very buff on History, specifically this part, so I asked her afterwards, and she confirmed my suspicions.

Systemically murdering everyone happened in Rome though. See: Carthago, Gallia, which had culture RESURFACE sure but was fairly roman from the beginning". Culture wiping is far more a problem for Ensoulment.

>>53559828
But entire different races? That cannot work. Unless you say "yeah humans murdered everyone, actual genocide". Then... No races. And little point playing fantasy too.

Plenty of examples show how Rome didn't scrub off the Gaul's culture (they became gallo-roman, and I should know, I'm from the area; but they remained celts), never made it into Germany, and never managed to get the Celts. "Peaceful" culture-scrubbing also does not work at all (England tried. Scotland's still here.) so that is in fact more realistic to have races keep their own ways no matter what. As well as interesting.

I think the GM is the right sort of dedicated, and if he would say instead, yeah they got conquered / they pay a tribute but they kept their lifestyle or their culture is still here but adapted and integrated into the imperial civilization, I'd totally be down for it. Alas I do not feel so hot as of now.

Define 'culture scrubbing'. I'd say a lot of the world has been 'scrubbed' by the West.
Also, again you're getting too worked up over this, and Ensoulment has this problem way more.

>>53559951
The game is designed so that everyone can take almost every archetype except for a few very specific class restricted archetypes.

That is why everyone can become a caster, or everyone can be an pilot. Its also how spell casting base classes can get higher than 6th level spells. By taking an archetype that removes other class features and profs for spells.

I'm not mad. I'm mad at how he handles the race, actually.

He had not planned for it because originally there was few races in his setting. When people asked for some, he okayed them but... Very quick-badly. It's basically "yeah your race got roflstomped by neo-Rome they're nothing but in name anymore".

Which, not only is it extremely heavy-handed, makes no sense at all.

Rome never 100% assimilated peoples. That's not how they conquer stuff. The only ones they absorbed more or less peacefully were those with a similar infrastructure, that was worse than theirs but still present.

Giving medecine and tech to people matters a lot less when -magic- exists.

Then, if it was Rome, it would use the races for what they are great at naturally, not try to make them fit the mold. All that.

>>53560061

>>53560124

You wanna explain a centaur why tables were never designed for him?
Or how come there's only humans in the genesis story of the Empire? And the lord's always a human?
And you know... People will have this as a huge reason to still pass on their culture to their children, whatever it takes. Racial pride. It's not just a skin colour this time.

Not even talking about how being a minotaur makes you so fucking different from a human just even in your brain, you simply don't think alike. Try to imagine what it's like to have a huge sense of smell or whatever and how it influences you. Or instinctive hunter instinct. That stuff. Humans naturally make family units, what about the other race? Do they naturally form packs instead?
