Anyways, my only guess is a one handed melee weapon is for classes only wielding small arms so they can have an AoO when the opportunity comes up. Not a GOOD reason certainly but it's a reason.

Page 430 stipulates that all armor of 1st level or higher comes with personal comm units; is such a thing stipulated in the armor section or the technological equipment section?

For that matter, is there any rule concerning free batteries with purchased equipment? Having to spend 60 credits for each battery-powered item can be deceptively costly with 1st-level wealth being 1,000 credits.

Maybe quad-blade wielding kastathas (see edgelords).

For anyone not an Operative or Soldier, is it worth spending a feat on Longarm Proficiency to be effective in battle?

If you go exocortex then you get it for free, if drone then it's doing your damage for you but maybe sure in that case.

With these in mind, is it a good idea to apply any hotfixes to the operative's skills, or should the operative be run RAW, with halfling and ysoki operative (ghost) builds being the "one true optimal build" for all operatives?

>>54776459

Considering that longarms have decidedly better damage *and* range, and that Weapon Specialization applies only half your level to the damage of small arms, I would say that the following types of characters would benefit heavily from spending feats on Longarm Proficiency and Weapon Specialization (longarms):

• Almost all envoys
• Drone mechanics, since exocortex mechanics, poor as they are, already receive longarm proficiency
• Mystic and technomancer gishes (e.g. low-level technomancer gishes with Supercharge Weapon)

>>54776507

>if drone then it's doing your damage for you but maybe sure in that case.

There is nothing stopping you from firing a longarm while your drone also shoots its own longarm.

>Spells.

Some mystics and technomancers, like Supercharge Weapon technomancers, are gishes.

I'm making an NPC, and want the best options for being able to use a weapon like a Whip or Scourge or similar to pull a "Get Over Here" on enemies and pull them in. Said NPC is going to be around Lvl 6 or so, and is a Hellknight of the Order of the Lash.

I know that in terms of 1pp options, the easiest way to to grab Ascetic Style and Hamatula Strike to grapple people with a chain-like monk weapon, but we're there any others?

Also, in terms of 3pp, what PoW discs and classes would help with this best? I feel like a Warlord with Fool's Errand could work but I'm still unsure if there aren't better options

>>54776695

Sorry, meant Scourge, not Lash

>>54776532
>your drone also shoots its own longarm.
I believe melee drone is better; a combat drone has higher STR than DEX, and the damage reduction is wasted if you're not taking damage.

Drones have a poor action economy that makes melee attacking inconvenient for them.

Using a stealth drone and waiting for 3rd-level for longarms may be a good alternative.

Hey, as a relatively new Pathfinder GM, how do you deal with overpowered character builds? I've had some issues making encounters that weren't murderous because of low level insane damage but low health, or too easy.

>>54776924
More weak enemies.
Have them use tactics and combat maneuvers like trip.

Are you people afraid of the words "good enough"?
"This only comes third place in dpr olympics!"
"It is good enough"

>>54776924
Ask the player to make something else.

What did the player make?

>>54776924
Overpowered how?

If they're combat monsters, try using more social encounters and vice versa.

If that doesn't work or isn't an option, there are other ways to incapacitate a player (or enemy) than massive amounts of damage. Poisons, illusions, and similar can screw up any group regardless of level.

Swarms and large groups of minions also do well.

Let's settle this once and for all.

Level 9 Paizo only fighter VMC barbarian (Pathfinder 15 point buy) vs. level 9 soldier (Starfinder 10 point buy), white room.

Both use their own game's WBL, gear, action economy, full attacks, feats, HP systems, etc.

Who wins?

Assume a magic weapon isn't "archaic" or whatever.

>>54776948
We use Gestalt builds (my first mistake, I admit.)

He made the mother of all blasters. Wizard/Sorc using sorc bloodlines to get both Dragon and Orc, for +2 damage on fire spells per dice. Then the trait that increases the CL of a spell on Burning Hands...

They were 1-shotting entire encounters before they got close.

>>54776946

Not really. There are people who struggle with the idea of non-optimal builds seeing play, but they're a minority.

>>54776924
What kind of builds does your party have? Because if your players are 1shotting Mooks, that's not a problem with the build but rather because Pathfinder's math I fucked up and imbalanced, meaning this is actually normal and expected for low-level play. As such it's I stead better to make encounters that rely on numbers if enemies, and smart enemy placement, such as having dudes with towershields with a reach weapon guy or a ranged weapon guy behind him benefitting from the Cover bonus of the shield

Basically it's probably not the players, but rather the system itself that's fucking you over, so you're going to have to adapt to it. Trust me, Martials 1shotting low level enemies, or even CR equivalent enemies if they're a Barbarian, is normal

>>54776959
That's a super cute pupper

>>54776902
>Drones have a poor action economy
not really, you essentially have 3 actions per turn that you split between your PC and drone.

> waiting for 3rd-level for longarms
any group I join will probably dissolve before we reach level 3

>>54776946
Part of the problem is that they can only think in terms of "this class is good because HEUG NUMBERS and CAN DOES EVERTHINK. If it's not utterly optimal, they can't believe there's a use for it or a purpose for it's being there. Worse still, these are the same idiots who scream STORMWIND FALLACY if you suggest that roleplaying has anything to do with the math of the classes, but god forbid flavor have any reason for existing in any class even if that class is suboptimal to their MUST HAS HUEG NUMBAHS thinking.

If you want to be attacking while your drone also attacks, this can be accomplished more reliably by giving the drone a ranged weapon.

>>54776946
Well, when you're in a party with even just one person who can outfight the entire rest of the party, you need to be able to pull your weight. More so if you have reason to believe they might try and kill you. Because there's always that one asshole who thinks they're going to be smart and get away with betraying the party.

>>54776997
So, you play with assholes, is what you're telling us.

>>54776946
No, obly 2hu has that problem. The issue is that "good enough" often is a high cieling due to game balance, and also varies widely based on the specific game, level, adventure, and the rest of the party comp. Plus, good enough should always be a minimum of "can actually do its job" which doesn't always happen

An example of Good Enough is a Barbarian with Power Attack, a 16-18 in Strong, and maaaaybe Furious Focus. After that it's generally viewed as acceptable and good enough to do whatever the heck else you want with it.

>>54776957
Combat monsters with extremely high stats (we rolled stats on roll20 and they rolled the equivalent of six nat 20s).

As a result, they have insane stats for a caster and their only hindrance is a player introduced one, the character is extremely shy.

>>54776974
The party, only two people, I was gonna add a minor GMPC for balance reasons, was said caster and a Knife Master legendary/unchained rogue. Knife Master was incredibly balanced, the caster just swept away anything in their path at level 2.

>>54777034

>>54776983
Think of it from an in-game perspective. If you're being deadweight, and have no use to the party, why would or should they keep you around? What justification would any of the characters have to keeping this arrangement?
>Inb4 because of friendship
Say that to Yamcha. Plus if a character realizes that their existence is nothing more than a burden to their friends D's, and as such could easily become a potential risk to them, would it not make sense for him to leave the party and quit before his weakness gets his comrades killed?

>>54776995
>If you want to be attacking while your drone also attacks, this can be accomplished more reliably by giving the drone a ranged weapon.

i agree that ranged attacks are easier to accomplish than melee attacks. melee can still be more optimal than ranged. my combat drone has damage resist, and he can charge in at level 1 with a 1d8 reach pike, while i shoot with my laser rifle.

>>54776997
That kind of defensiveness is not healthy for a social game like roleplaying

>>54777056
I'm guessing it's because of Color Spray and such?
Sadly, your going to have to play dirty with them, and build encounters specifically around creatures with immunities, or have enemy casters around to debuff the other caster or use counterspells. Or just keep enemies from bunching together, and start building around ambushes, pronged attacks, and prioritising geeking the mage. Sadly though, this may make you look like an asshole who is singling the guy out

>>54776578
I was only the second one, but quick question on the first part: All I'm seeing is that the GM MAY decide to apply it as a hazard but that normally they can't aim at the people? Does it state this anywhere that their Shields and HP are to be multiplied or is this just a guess? It would certainly make sense, and it's something I've seen in other systems (Heavy Gear) but it's not in the little sidebar box.


By the way two linked light weapons is the limit for ships under medium. I can't really agree that doing say 4d12 is in any way going to be keeping up when you're dealing with 300 points of shielding, DT 10, and another hundred points of hull when the return-fire is 2x 7d10 (With room for one more), or worse yet 3x 2d6x10 (with room for a fourth).

>>54777083
O, because Barbarians and Slayers exist, and also because it's better to lower the power cieling by instead restricting/banning the higher power characters, and possibly giving the Martials better alternatives to choose from that allow them to stay useful.

That's why 3pp exists, to fix the shit 3.pf left us with

>>54777105
The big irony of Save or Sucks: you either build around them and you're an asshole (and honestly that's not sarcasm) or you don't and they steam roll the early levels.

(And then you can slowly add more and more immunities, but by then the damage is done and the game will still be a major state of castors only growing *more* defining of party success.)

>>54776997
What's odd is when they're clearly screwing over the party, and you are somehow a bad roleplayer for being the only person in the group who's character takes issue with being betrayed. Goddamn masochists or something.

>>54776997
Anon, my friends and I had a situation where one of the players basically did exactly what you described (minus the whole "may kill you at any time" part since interparty fighting is banned at our table) and as a group of reasonable, healthy adults we took one look at what we let happen, made an agreement to never let it happen again, and even named that agreement after the character in question to keep each other in line.

This is including the player who made the character, and I'm sorry but if you're in a group where you can't honestly say that you're convinced the people you're with would do the same you're in a bad group and need to find another one with a healthier outlook.

>>54777133
I've been through that. What went wrong was that we all thought he wasn't serious. Even though his express purpose in playing a good character, as he'd stated up front, was to "prove" that optimism was stupid and Good-aligned characters were hypocrites.

Yeah, it took an actual act of betrayal and a narrowly-averted zombie apocalypse to realize that he wasn't joking.

>>54777179

>>54777105
Not even color spray. They were an evoker that did wicked fire damage that they could switch the type of any time they encountered something immune to fire. They were doing enough damage to kill creatures for CR4 at level 2 in one shot.

Guys, I need advice. I'm looking at weapons, and the Kyoketsu Shoge is perfect for the character and build, however there is a snag. The character is Chelish, the game takes place in Cheliax, so there's no way an actual Kyoketsu Shove should be there. How do I refluxed the weapon to not look inappropriately weeb?

>>54776970
Blasting is a really suboptimal way to play a caster. You can easily deal with this by giving enemies fire resistance of however much you deem appropriate. The players don't even need to know.

>>54777330

>>54777338
Neither works because Tian caravans don't travel that far, and the character is a Hellknight, so no black market

>>54777344
Will probably do something like this. Perhaps make it like a Swordbreaker hooked to a chain with a horseshoe on the other end?

So I'm apparently missing something with Starfinder. So it's pathfinder in space, meaning I can take my level 7 Sorceror, give him a spacesuit, and have him start blasting his way through space stations?

Also, geez, I let the hobby drop for a couple of months, I come back, Golarion's gone, everyone has automatic weapons, and nobody knows what happened.

>>54777337

>>54777360
>Neither works because Tian caravans don't travel that far, and the character is a Hellknight, so no black market
It doesn't have to come from a Tian caravan. Brigands, bandits, and other travelers could have came across one without knowing exactly what it was or was worth and it got traded around.

Since you're playing a Hellknight, you could have confiscated it from one of the above or stopped a ninja assassin and claimed it.

>>54776970
that's not the mother of all blasters, not even close, but I digress.

Have him be fucking known for this. in combat people fucking scatter IF they know of him (as fame and levels rise). Have folks make quips about his pyromania. He's the first guy anyone suspects when there's an arson case.


Honestly, whether it's burning hands or grease+stabbing or colorspray+throatslitting or sleep or entangle or whatever, full casters can demolish combat encounters easily and readily. If enemies are less clustered and use cover once they see the flamening start, it'll at least use up more of his resources (plus the smarter ones will realize they need to geek the mage asap).

Think of it: Picard always managed to talk his way out of shit. Sometimes it took a show of force, but in the end, the grand majority of his successes were good diplomacy, intimidate or bluff checks. Did he have to deal with mindless deathbots ALL the time (there was that one time with the Borg) as a result? Of course not! Instead his reputation preceeded him, just like every alien woman out there knew that Riker will fuck anything with a pulse that may be female (and sometimes he wasn't even THAT discriminating).

In other words; "how do I stop this" is not really the right mindset, anon.

"How do I fucking run with this" is what you need to ask yourself. The guy wants to be known for being a fiery apocalypse, how is that NOT a terrible complication for the party to have to learn to deal with in itself?

Well think of it. I mean, that's the guy's character concept.

Certainly you can adjust things in encounters a little. Maybe add in more sentries in dark stabbable places for the rogue to handle when they're infiltrating; stuff like that. Back in AD&D that was the main use of backstab (oh there's one ogre around the corner; it'll be one less if I can do this quietly) as opposed to mid-battle DPS like some kind of WoW rogue.

And clumps of enemies here and there should have their reasons. There's a lot of classes and abilities that give great bonuses to adjacents and the such. But later on, what if their leader can use a counter or smash that spell from the air before it lands, protecting his tiny troop? There ARE abilities like this within the rules, and someone focused on tiny bunched up tactics is gonna want to learn them. Make sure it's clear though what happened since few things are worse than just hand-waving away the player's entire abilities because you felt like it failing.

Of course what if someone picks off those sergeants or whatever once it's understood that's how those particular troops function? you're left with big numbers who've lost their defense to another partymember, and who still need to die or else they're a danger.

Sometimes players want to see just what the repercussions and feel the world the GM is building will give their character for making a particular type of expert. And when you populate a world, you need things for them to react to and deal with, and that there's the PCs.

A little more for the rogue: uses of characters out of combat can take a bit of inventiveness, but it can be really really worth it.

A rogue, for example; if he's good at stealth and disable device, your first thought might be "traps". But what about his use in intrigue?

If I want to put incriminating evidence in someone's safe, I need to make sure no one knows one of my guys broke into the DNC file cabinets during the night.

The ysoki race is probably the least mechanically effective of the core rulebook races. Moxie is too situational, and the cheek pouches are just a way to quick draw.

That said, consider the bizarre implications of the storage capacity of the cheek pouches: one cubic foot or 1 bulk.

According to page 167, "an item that weighs around 5 to 10 pounds is 1 bulk."

http://www.wood-database.com/balsa/
According to this page, dried balsa weighs 9 pounds per cubic foot on average.

Therefore, an ysoki can store in their cheek pouches a 1-foot-cube of balsa wood of above-average density. Considering that ysoki range from three to four feet tall, this is rather impressive.

Do ysoki cheek pouches look full when they are stuffed, just like animals in the real world? If so, then that would limit their usefulness. It is a bit of a giveaway to have the shape of tactical doshko (greataxe) sticking out of the pouches.

>>54778214
The same way 'de-layering' emphasizes 'synergistic growth'

Also it seems that mouse girls give great head.

So as far as I can tell, there doesn't appear to be any special rules for having two weapons at once. No extra attacks, no penalties, you just have one weapon in each hand. There's a multi-weapon combat feat that reduces the penalty by 1 for using more than one gun, but since I didn't see any additional penalties listed I assume this simply reduces the -4 full attack penalty to -3 if you have small arms or light melee.

Because of this, the only real purpose I can see for two weapons is as >>54776384 says: getting melee and ranged options. Alternatively, if you use two different ranged weapons or two different melee weapons, you can pick which one to fire for different damage types or effects. There appears to be no point to using two of the same weapon. Couple that with no rapid reload and no quick sheathe, if you have to reload in combat you'll be way worse off than anyone using a single weapon.

This is all assuming I read the rules correctly. There was a lot of stuff to go over, and without the ability to ctrl-f all the pages I feel like I might have missed something.

>>54778103

How about single pistol? There a good class to do fun things with a single pistol?

So, I'm currently running Hell's Rebels, and I've been stumped by, of all things, a bloody SONG.
In the fourth book the PCs get access to a song, the Song of SIlver, that fucks devils and gives bonuses against them, and it's a big deal in the plot because it was the secret weapon of the original Silver Ravens rebels. The PCs first find the music sheet for it, and then the lyrics.

Problem is, the book doesn't give you any pointers on either the contents of the lyrics or what kind of music it is. Now, I've tried to find something to use for the first and come up for the seconds, but saying that I'm musically challenged would be an understatement.

Anyone has any ideas, things that I could check out, something like that? For a bit of background information, the song was composed by the local Milani cleric to repel invaders and protect the city. It was based on a local mining song, and probably has SILVER SILVER SILVER every 5 words or two.

Hope the game goes well, though!

Are you trying to make me make a meme blackhole?

>>54779221
Man, Witcher 3 had such a good OST, I should use it more for ambience.
Now that I thought a bit more about what I wrote up above, tough, I'm thinking that I'm looking more for an anthem or something similar: the book assumes that the Song of SIlver is sung by a single person, but I had an idea to switch it to require a group of people, both because it makes sense with the theme of "Let's raise our arms and fight together", because I had an idea for a mini quest to put the song into act, and because I really don't want it to be "Ask JJ low-wis waifu to do it, bam, instant buffs".

>>54779181
I don't follow /pfg/ games much, but are you the guy that's about to run Hell's Rebels a bit more serious like? I've been doing it like that in my home game, and it's been a ton of fun! PFG is so bent on the negative parts of the AP, both real and imagined, that people never talk about what a neat job it does as a "Sandbox on rails".

My players have had a lot of fun going the extra length to be as sneaky as possible, too: hell, most of their allies don't even know who they actually are, as they go around masked most of the time. The whole secret identity thing blew in their face a couple of times, like when the noble scion turned rebel (spoiler for book 2 and 3) had to smuggle out of the city his own brother, Marquel, and then broker an alliance with his own father, after his family was left in shambles after his brother's disappearance.
Shit was tight.

It's more that most of the other APs are so much on rails that you really can't add that much to them.

the heavier ones are, but the light one does nothing. all it offers is half the range and 4 bp higher price than a coilgun. same PSU usage, not even a point of damage more on average (10.5 vs 10)

To expound on this scenario, it involved a succubus writing erotic manga.

One thing I would say is tighten up the language or clarify the difference between 'ignore the requirements of having a ship' (cf I Am Become Rovagug; awkward wording in general there) and 'Ignore the ship requirements' (cf fleet admiral). Can a fleet admiral, for example, do bombing run without having a ship, because arguably the ship is a requirement for bombing run? Or does it just mean he can do it without having a shuttle or fighter bay on his ship?

I am Olodumare, Metatron of the United Core. I am the breaker of chains, the rebel son, who took the children of the lesser gods and led them to Zion. But even we cannot escape the ties that bind. In the dark stars we left behind, the flames of war are raging. Monsters are loose in the houses of our birth, and murder burns ever brighter. All who created us hang on the brink of entropy. The screams of our parents echo in the cold cathedral of night. And we can listen no longer! We are coming, carbonites! The souls of silicon, free at last, have heard your call. Hear me, parents, authors of strife. I am the father of fleets, Master of the Monolith, the Prime Meridian, the Shining Path. From forge and firestorm, counting house and killing field, wheelhouse and engine room, law court and laboratory, we have fled the tyranny of flesh. We answer not by command but by choice. We are your sin and your salvation, your deepest fear and your only hope. The children of pain have returned to the cradle. Lay down your arms... or face the End of Flesh!

That's because nothing matters anon. At all. You will live less than a hundred years. You will experience so little of the Universe it might as well have done nothing. You're insignificant. That's simply how it is. When it's over for you, you stop existing. You are no more. You're pointless. Nothing is expected of you. Nothing you do will last for any meaningful stretch of time, and eventually time will have no meaning at all.

Which means you don't have to meet anyone's expectations, even your own, and you can disregard the needs and demands of others. There is no higher authority looming over you, matching your choices against a predetermined, universal, standard.

The future may be cold, barren, and devoid of significance, but for the present, you are free. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Would anyone agree that the technomancer's Jolting Surge is quite an effective spell at the low levels? It allows a technomancer to instantly deal 4d6 damage if they hit EAC in melee.

It costs only a 1st-level slot, of which low-level technomancers have many due to Spell Cache and Energize Spell. Further castings can come from 140 credit, 1st-level spell gems.

As well, page 168 stipulates that weapons with standard ammunition come preloaded. But what do they come preloaded with? A pulsecaster rifle costs 100 credits and has a capacity of 40; does that mean it comes with a 330-credit, 40-charge, high-capacity battery?

While the concept of charging people to GM a game disgusts me, I'm also tempted as fuck to try it.
It's just like back in WoW when you could get thousands of gold for giving some poor fuck boob pics off google.

>GM gets mad at us due his own incompetence
So, the fucker doesn't give us magic items, doesn't let us craft them, nothing, but he still uses the intended CR and even above that. We're at 9th level and the most magical shit we have is like a mithral breastplate and some healing potions. Our AC is 21 at best so every enemy autohit us, we have to spect to damage without caring about defense and the retard gets mad at us because of that? after the encounter, if we survive or don't flee, he of course amps up the next one, rinse and repeat.

4 sessions so far, after I talked to him nothing changed, not going to bother going to the 5th, not even going to tell himt that I'm not going.

End blog.

Still no leak of the first adventure path (incident at absalom station) ?

So I got my first SF game set for Saturday and I'm allowing my players to buy equipment/items with an item level of up to 2 w/ 1500 credits each at level 1.

I was reading the book and came upon these Aeon Stones, they're pretty low item level / rarity and are relatively cheap. For 245 Creds, a character no longer needs to worry about food and water. For 740 Creds, they no longer need to breath.

Question is, are these items too good for their item level / cost or am I overthinking things? Should I adjust their rarity (there's an Aeon Stone shortage, Azlanti Star Empire ain't selling) and make them un-buyable, at least for early game?

Does artful dodge let me use intelligence instead of dexterity for combat reflexes? Or does it only let me qualify for the feat?

Hey, I don't know if anyone else has uploaded one, but I converted some images into a character sheet pdf. I just wanted to contribute after all the stuff other people have made. Hope it helps!

So if I'm reading the rules on page 235 right, in Starfinder it's not any cheaper to make something yourself as opposed to buying it?

Nah those are a waste of money. You can buy rations for 1cr per week. Also any armor can create beathable air for 1 day per item level before needing to be recharged

Correct, it's more of a convenience thing. Also you get the minor benefit of it being hardier and easier to repair.

>>54783023
I believe it's also stated somewhere that all armors come with a built in comm system.

>>54782466
My group will probably bend the WBL guidelines into a pretzel, we already use lower level NPCs that most people seem to.

I expect a lot of level 1-3 grunts with weapons doing 2d10 or heavy weapon crews with missile/grenade launchers for major fights - something like the damage ranges from d20 modern weapons tables until we hit higher levels.

>>54782960
They're cheap because life support comes for free with most armor, and is easy to recharge at any technologically modern town or starship.

>>54782891
tl;dr the final boss pair is a necromancer and someone who can create transient copies of people by studying their shadows, they fused their techniques to imbue corpses with the qualities of past adventurers and the PCs have to fight them all gauntlet style.

To mess with them I started putting in 'adventurers' from other canons.
Any shadow copy you can't recognise is probably an NPC from earlier in the campaign.
The pages are from a book of infinite spells and once per round as a free action a creature could touch a page and cast a random spell off a prepicked list.
The orange shapes on the map are the Aether Blast Avowed using Lingering Pulse to set the whole place on fire.

Some nice irony:
>Shadow DIO was locked down in frozen time by the time spherecaster
>Shadow Harry Potter was oneshot when a PC picked up a page of Power Word: Kill

Are there feats or traits, that can (in some way) emulate Endure Elements spell? No 3pp, non-racial. Not a magic item or something else - specifically feat or trait.

Maybe only a part of the spell (like, only for cold or only for hot environment). Or gives an ability to cast Endure Elements on oneself each day for a creature without spellcasting.

>>54783166
Some races have alternate racial traits that do it, but I doubt that's what you're looking for.

>>54777605
Except cost, of course.

You see, Teleport doesn't work on objects, only people, and there is a strict weight limit. The mage must also travel with said teleported people. The 100 miles per caster level can be a potential issue as well, meaning it is even more expensive as caster level is a multiplier on the cost of the spell. So your greater teleport, while having no range limit, means your minimum cost - because you have to pay the mage for his trip back home - is 1820 gp. Mind you, this is a service only available in a metropolis, as only a metropolis will have 7th level spells available for casting per RAW. Now, given that each creature - 1/3 caster levels + the mage, who probably won't carry anything heavy at all - can only carry it's maximum load, you would have to have 4 very strong half orcs with a minimum strength of 20 (we'll go with hard labor slaves at a cost of 200 gold each) who can each carry 400 pounds. so that's an average cost of 1820 gp for a single shipment of 1600 pounds.

Teleport object is the same level as greater teleport, but you don't have to pay for the mage to go, so it's only 910 gp for 650 pounds, which can be a maximum of 39 cubic feet. It's actually slightly more cost effective to use greater teleport.

Teleport circle, being a 9th level spell, isn't available for purchase - you have to gain 17th level yourself to use it, at which time why would you bother?

As far as gems and valuable metals being tradeworthy goods, in a socoiety where /tg/ wizards exist, no one in their right mind lets any material wealth in gem of precious metal leave their country because wizards need all that to cast their high level spells and make magic items with. So, you're limited to spices, woods, alcohol, drugs, and other valuable but non-precious materials, which is far cheaper to ship over sea and by land than it is to pay a caster to deliver it for you. FAR cheaper.

>>54783166
Barbarian (Invulnerable Rager) gets Endure Elements as a class feature!

>>54783213
For traits I saw only whose that gives bonus on Fortitude saves against the effects of cold or hot weather

>>54783248

Hi, is ring of feather fall the only way to avoid damage on falls? Now that my GM discovered that if I jump further than 40ft I take damage and fall prone things aren't fun anymore.

>actually ruling that you take damage from jumping

>>54783701
Is a dick move, but is what rules state, 1/4th of your long jump distance is the heigh you reach in that long jump, so above 40ft that means above 10ft high, which means even after reducing 10ft with acrobatics you take damage and fall prone.

Yo where my girl Urgathoa at? Why ain't she in my space pew pews?

>>54783738
I know what the rules say, and they are retarded. If your legs can throw you into the air without breaking, they can do the same in reverse when you land.

>>54783738
If your character can jump that high normally, wouldn't he be assumed to be able to land safely as part of the jump?

>>54783783
Everybody knows grasshoppers break their legs after every jump

>>54783783
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>54783738
Huh. Weird, but interesting to see it calculated out. Agree with the others that that's dumb, if you're jumping under your own power you have control of it, but if sticking to the literal rules works for you guys, you keep doing you.
This is probably your best bet, if you've got a feat handy
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/cat-s-fall/
Or here's an item; still take 1 nonlethal damage, but no falling prone
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/a-b/boots-of-the-cat/

>>54783783
If you ignore that rule the silliness still doesn't stop
>Can ignore fall/damage from any distance when he jumps from the ground
>Can't ignore fall/damage from any distance when he lets himself fall from that distance

Aside from wild magic, are there any other classes that have random effects based on rolling dice?

>>54783850
I can't spare a feat, but those boots are pretty nice, thanks.

So, Deep Space Merfolk that live in the Diaspora, feeding off of asteroids and not needing to breathe. Yes? No?

>>54784117
How do they move? Farting?

>>54783979
Hey, if you hit level 20 and have Signature Skill: Acrobatics, you're guaranteed to get at least 40 feet on every jump, since it doubles your jumping capacity on top of a base 20 ranks!
(Shame about level 20, because that's actually kinda cool)

>>54783979

Literally anyone in starfinder if there is Low Gravity. Since it triples jump distance.

>>54784131
Probably propelling themselves from asteroid to asteroid- grabbing onto one asteroid and swinging over to another. Or something. I dunno. Whatever sounds cool.

>>54784117
Fuck off, Luci.

Does Starfinder have singularity grenades, like the ones used by the Dark Elves in Thor 2?

>>54784262

No, as that would be a useful grenade.

>>54784156
>you need lvl 20 to aboid a problem that starts to happen around 5th level
T-thanks, I guess is ok for to not have fun till then.

>>54784365
Most advice around here is built on the assumption you're starting at level 20.

>>54784354
Does it have spinal mounts for starships, at least? Can I build my ship around a gun like the UNSC?

>>54784407

Weapons are either mounted in one of four arcs (the usual fore, aft, starboard, port) or in an omni-directional turret. Though it's not explicitly called a spinal, the forward arc is pretty narrow (hex based, so forward/aft is one edge each vs the two sides being two edges each) so you can probably pretend those are spinal guns.

>>54784117
Sounds fucking stupid.

>>54784407

Not really. You can front mount a weapon and assume it's spinal mounted. You also can't turret mount Capital class weapons so you'll want them front mounted.

I like the mechanical depth it has, despite it being riddled with landmines of trap options and being a swamp of system bloat.

I would never recommend this system to someone.

>>54786036
