Yes, but ratfolk really don't have the same endurance for disease, lack magitech and can't stormvermin because they are small and lack massive strength bonuses. Also fluff wise they are nowhere near as malevolent, schemey or retarded and lack rampant mutations.
>>
>>54907440
>Ratfolk are communal by nature, living in colonies of up to 100 adults. They make their homes either on the road in traveling caravans, in the sewers and slums of large cities, or in subterranean caves. Their warrens are complex enough to easily hide their hoards or escape from enemies. Ratfolk merchants trawl markets for intriguing items, which they value over money. Ratfolk have an affinity for all kinds of rodents, including rats and dire rats, and they excel at tinkering and alchemy. Although not known for their trickery (they take great pride in their professionalism when dealing with other races), they are not above using their size and numbers to outwit or outmaneuver an enemy when threatened

>On Golarion, ratfolk are found in great numbers in the Darklands beneath the continent of Tian Xia, where they rule their own empire, Diguo-Dashu, in the caverns of Sekamina. These ratfolk declared war on Imperial Lung Wa in 4251 AR and seized a dozen cities before the Imperial Army drove them back into the deeps and sealed the entrances to the Darklands behind them.

Throw in a touch of Demonic Corruption and an alignment shift to Chaotic Evil, and you can easily make a Ratfolk come across as Skaven.

>>54907214
>You then end up with equal AC and equal to-hit, but one damage less. What's the point?
You have the same melee attack bonus, but +1 more ranged attack bonus should you ever choose to use a ranged weapon or thrown weapon, +1 more initiative, +1 to all DEX skills (which include class skills like stealth and acrobatics), extra 5 feet of movement, +1 reflex save (your bad save), qualify for Spring Attack or Nimble Moves earlier if you want, without needing to buy your Personal Upgrade at level 3 for Dex (buy it for STR instead and you're at 18 STR).
You're also using light armor, so your speed isn't inhibited for closing to engage, I can't find anything that suggests that the heavy armor penalty to speed does NOT affect stellar rush or flight or anything else. (If someone does find that, please give me the page number, would be good to know!).

In longer terms it sets you up to get 18 DEX, 18 STR at level 5 (meaning you're at 20 with Personal Upgrade), instead of 19/21 STR (no change in modifier bonus) and 16 DEX (one behind). That is a bit less relevant for Level 1 optimizing though.

>Ranged weapons can't make attacks of opportunity, while screwing over ranged/caster people is the entire point of reach.
>It prevents guarded step from protecting your enemies from AoO's caused by ranged attacks or spellcasting.
Fair counterpoints, both of these. There is definitely some merit to that.
I would like to point out that unless you're really planning on using a 1d8piercing pike for your entire career (or rather, investing in them at levels 1/9/15 ), investing in Step Up and Step Up and Strike will probably be a good idea for most melee characters. Besides the monowhip at level 15, the only other melee weapons with reach are unwieldy. But I'm willing to concede I can see the argument for them at level 1.

With a DM and players new to the system, I imagine down the line they're going to end up in that weird place where people think the swashbuckler is OP. This is because with all parties involved being so new the player will half-read his abilities and assume he can use all of his swash toys every round forever without realizing how action economy choked the class really is and the DM won't know enough to correct him.

>1) 2/3rds of the party competing to fill the same role - deal a ton of damage.
Hardly unusual in a Paizo-finder system. Besides that, 3/4ths of the party focusing on "deal big damage" worked out perfectly fine in the initial party.

>2) No party synergy for skill checks (which you, the human solarian, were in the best position to do with your social class skills and skill adept to pick up whatever else was needed)
Durable, melee frontliners in Starfinders are not going to be doing much in the way of skills anyway.

>no solar armor/weapon
A tactical pike was superior to a solar weapon at the level in question, and likewise, hidden soldier armor was the better option for AC given Heavy Armor Proficiency.

>no solar revelations
Black Hole and Supernova were the only stellar revelations available. An opportunity for neither revelation ever came up, so they would not have seen use even on a higher-Charisma solarian.

>no skill adept
All this does is grant two more class skills on a class that has only 4 base skill points and no reason to raise Intelligence beyond 10.

>If you had been a Blitz Soldier, you would have been similarly fucked in a party like this, because you would have made the same mistakes, had the same lack of synergy, and still would have had bad dice luck.
On the contrary, I would have had 8 higher initiative (from Blitz and from freeing up a feat which then goes into Improved Initiative) and 10 more speed, which would have allowed me to outmaneuver enemies more aptly, particularly given a powerful reach weapon. I also would have had more Resolve Points with which to prevent my character from dying on their own.

>as money you save from that you can invest directly into Personal Upgrades
Personal upgrades are not available until 2nd level at the very earliest. Even then, they are so limited in applicability to characters that aiming for a physical weapon + physical armor setup on a solarian is still optimal until 6th level.

>It does give up 1 point of damage though by going 16 STR, but you can use that feat on Weapon Focus.
I was already taking Weapon Focus. Strength 18 meant higher attack and higher damage, thereby making it an ideal investment in a 1:1 point buy scheme.

>...would have given him a free hand to hold a healing potion or a small arm, lost [1] damage, and cost 475 starting wealth he could have bought a ranged weapon for those spread out enemies or for "reach".
I was able to make a melee attack every single round thanks to starting positioning. Ranged attacks were never a concern. Likewise, at no point in any battle was there a point wherein using a serum of healing mk 1 would have been more optimal than simply attacking.

>Or he could have spent that extra money and bought Iridishell basic armor for +1 KAC
Iridishell costs an extra 290 credits for +1 KAC over hidden soldier armor. It simply was not worth the benefit.

>Now the reach weapon is not a bad thing
>nor does the pike give you an AoO against a guarded step or withdraw, so I have to wonder how much he got out of it
The reach weapon actually was a good thing. Reach in Starfinder allows you to attack adjacent opponents, and thus 10 feet of reach with a tactical pike is a major threat (no pun intended) against ranged attackers and spellcasters. That is definitely something to consider purchasing.

>I would like to point out that the damage is an auto-hit 2d6+1 to everyone in 10ft radius, aka Pike range
Supernova is ally-unfriendly, it works on a charge mechanic (you can use it only during your third turn, minimum), and using it makes you unattuned. It would have been of questionable utility even with Charisma 14.

/pgg/ I need some advice.

I'm a moderately experienced GM and I've decided to take on the challenge of running an evil campaign. All of the players are down and we've set the tome and limits of the campaign (quest for power, slightly more serious, anything below rape goes). The issue is one of the players wants to play a vampire. Since the first part of the campaign takes place in an underground world it won't be too clunky with being unable to go into the sun but I'm worried there may be some unforeseen consequences. What do you guys and gals think?
>>
>>54909266
Will the vampire be cute and bullyable?
>>
>>54909266
The main potential issue I can see with vampirism is that it could have the potential for being overpowered, what with the ability to create Thralls and all that, but if you decide not to nerf those kinds of powers I'd suggest making it so that any minions created should ultimately be controlled by you, such as using it to give the players a free information or spy network.

As long as everyone is down with it the main issue with stuff like this is not making any player get undue attention or powers that would make them overshadow anyone else in the party, but rather instead make those things help the party as a whole.

Your inability to look past immediate optimal efforts is what hamstrung your build, literally. You gained one point of damage for the sacrifice of a feat and no different armor. That's not optimization, that's OCD and as a result you are working actively to prove an in correct point..

Maybe in 4e. Not in SF or PF. With a feat he could have gained +1 more to AC, a better skill set, or the ability to threaten with a gun.
>>
>>54909676

>You gained one point of damage for the sacrifice of a feat and no different armor.

And 1 point of attack bonus, considering that I was already taking Weapon Focus.

I would gladly take +1 attack and +1 damage from Strength over +1 AC, initiative, and Reflex from Dexterity. At least the former would be contributing to main, offensive statistics.

Consider that I could have taken Strength 18 and Dexterity 14 and used light armor and solar armor. That would have given me 1 less AC than heavy armor, but I opted to take Heavy Armor Proficiency, because I valued the AC.
>>
>>54909754
>With a feat he could have gained +1 more to AC
Dodge is not a feat, so that's not an option.
The first two feats of that character were Weapon Focus and Heavy Armour Proficiency.
>>
>>54909754

I fail to see how +1 AC is somehow worth more than +1 attack.

A lack of ranged attacks was never once an issue in that session, and indeed, the tactical pike served its purpose.

>>54909722
Like I said, those are my suggestions if he DOESN'T decide to nerf if. Minions should always be kept in the background of any campaign and should be utilized to assist the party as a whole.

Also remember that generally speaking Evil characters and campaigns are slightly higher in power level, partially because any semblance of remorse for saying "I like that, give it to me" is usually out the window and partially because unlike the good guys, you're usually not going to get very many loyal allies so you've got to make do with your own ability to get the job done yourself.
>>
>>54909758
I'm not really sure boosting the main offensive statistic is actually the way to go in Starfinder. I'd never argue against DELETE being meta in Pathfinder, but it feels like the number adjustments will make the investment towards straight removal of your enemies too heavy here, and the increase of survivability on the player side means it's far less damning to leave enemies up for some rounds if you can mitigate damage.
>>
>>54909810
Why are they called Fetchlings instead of their proper name so much?
>>
>>54909340
Possibly, but unlikely

>>54909457
Well he specifically wants to play the party face and have many thralls/spawn. I think I can make that work and maybe rule that, although they practically worship him they are not insane and won't do anything that goes against their core nature or puts them in mortal danger

It's your game, you're the one who suffers from the bad choice.
>>
>>54909826
>>54909863

Compare the following:

• Human solarian with Strength 18, Dexterity 14, Heavy Armor Proficiency, Weapon Focus, and hidden soldier armor:
Melee attack bonus +6, melee damage bonus +4, EAC 15, KAC 17, initiative +2, speed 25 feet

• Strength 16, Dexterity 16, Improved Initiative, Weapon Focus, and kasatha microcord I:
Melee attack bonus +5, melee damage bonus +3, EAC 15, KAC 17, initiative +6, speed 30 feet

I valued the +1 attack and +1 damage over the +4 initiative and +5 speed in this case.

>>54909863

Do have a look at the comparison above. Do you truly think that trading in +1 attack and +1 damage would have been worth the +4 initiative and +5 speed?

Again, however, this is a moot point for a solarian who first begins with a dip into soldier (blitz).

Most of us are aware of the envoy's major troubles as a class; I am still positive that a halfling envoy with Longarm Proficiency and Get 'Em at 1st, Clever Feint at 2nd, Weapon Specialization (longarms) at 3rd, Clever Attack at 4th, and Improved Get 'Em is the best possible build for an envoy who wants to kill people and help allies kill people. Nevertheless, I found myself curious about one of the expertise talents:

>Well Informed
>You keep yourself as up to date as possible about the events and major figures of any region you are in. Once you have been in a settlement or region for at least 24 hours, when you attempt a Diplomacy check to gather information, you can forgo your expertise die to attempt the check as a swift action (rather than the normal 24 hours).

This does not actually limit you to gathering information about "the events and major figures of any region you are in." Since there are telecommunications and internet networks, a major settlement such as Absalom Station could be home to countless information brokers and other intel sources.

A 3rd-level lashunta envoy could have Diplomacy 3 ranks + Charisma modifier 5 with personal upgrade + class skill bonus 3 + racial bonus 2 + insight bonus 3 from Skill Focus = Diplomacy +16. By taking 10, they hit DC 26.

• The DC to gather "obscure or secret knowledge" is 20 or more, so this character is well-off when trying to tackle such a task.
• The DC to gather information on a "prominent or well-known individual" is 5 + character's CR, which means up to CR 11 for this lashunta envoy.
• The DC to gather information on an "average or ordinary individual" is 10 + character's CR, which means up to CR 6 for this lashunta envoy.
• The DC to gather information on a "mysterious or obscure individual" is 15 + character's CR, which means up to CR 1 for this lashunta envoy. They can gather information on the most mysterious or obscure CR 1 space pirate or 1st-level-PC-equivalent NPC.

How useful could this be?

>A 16 in STR costs you 1 attack/1damage, but the opportunity cost of 18 STR means no 16 DEX (+1 to both ACs, initiative, skills, reflex/bad save, mobility/spring attack qualifier), or 12 CON (+1 fortitude, +1 stamina/lvl), or 12 CHA (+1 social skills, +1 DCs, +1 resolve points), etc.
I valued direct offense in this case, because direct offense was what would actually put enemies into the ground and make reach-based attacks of opportunities threatening.

>I think this is the crux of the issue, and has nothing to do with the Solarian class itself, given a full BAB. What ACs were you fighting against at level 1?
That is irrelevant. At 1st-level, against any enemies with KAC 10 or above, an additional +1 attack and damage will always be relevant for trying to neutralize opponents.

>OK, so it sounds like you had healing, then. So was death self-inflicted because you were using a two-handed weapon? Or because your healer/debuffer was supposed to handle it but went down? Or you only were injured in a situation that you reasoned it was better to risk dying and keep swinging?
We had awful luck with attack rolls. That was the crux of the issue, really.

>What skills did you take? You should have had 5 of them, including easy access Diplomacy/Intimidate and with the ability to pick up 2 INT skills with Skill Adept for a +7 mod even with 10 INT. Even your soldier and mystic buddy putting heads together could have gotten you to a +9.
Skill Adept simply grants more class skills; it is not, in fact, Skill Focus. I opted for Athletics, Perception, Piloting, Sense Motive, and Stealth, all of which saw play, just in mediocre fashions.

>In terms of synergy, did you have any issues blocking your allies by giving the enemy soft cover?
No, because the mystic's Telekinetic Throw circumvented many cover issues at the lowest of levels, because the soldier could reposition themselves, and because the soldier had Sharpshoot for reducing cover bonuses anyway.

It would really depend on the culture but typically a guard is a year round job while a soldier is not. Medieval nations didn't usually have the resources to have significant standing army all the time, instead drafting most of the needed numbers to fill out the army only in times of conflict.

There aren't really rules for drafting, increasing your speed beyond your max speed, engine troubles while racing, or much that could make the dynamic interesting turn-by-turn, I think. It would probably just be piloting checks, honestly. Space races are... not a great idea, I think.

>How are you planning to use androids in your starfinder games?
I'm doing my own setting, so I'm using them as, basically, soul-eggs for a race that died out. Basically a race of large creatures that advanced their technology on a purely biological basis... all of their tech is biological, and they achieved an unheard-of mastery over the biological form, to the point where they had fairly solid control over their shape, limbs, and so on (not shapeshifting, but modifications made with gene treatment and meditation over the course of months).

Then a plague struck, one that managed to infect all of their biotech. In trying to treat it, they ended up with the super-bug problem we're just now starting to face, and accidentally bred a hyper-aggressive strain that started to wipe out entire planets of these guys.

In my setting, there are conflicting theories on whether souls are race-specific or if any soul can be reborn into any body. This race generally believed the former, and so they worried that if their entire race were wiped out (which looked more and more likely every year), there would be no new ones for the souls to be reborn into, and they would truly die out.

So both because of this, and just a general need to have stuff that the super-bug couldn't kill, they started looking into non-biological tech. They adapted their existing tech to use non-biological components, and ended up creating a series of forms with what they called a "soul matrix", a small magitech device designed to house a single soul, then programmed the matrix to accept souls of this race seeking hosts. They also tried to convert as much of their data storage to non-biological tech as possible, getting quite a bit of it.

Then they all died.
>>
>>54911707

>>
>>54911750

Not being the best at designing non-bio tech, the androids they had built lay dormant for quite some time, without the proper power sources to activate, even though the souls of the dead [insert as-yet-undecided race name here] had already begun filling the matrices. Over time, the components began to decay, and much of the data in storage was lost or corrupted. A few thousands of years later, explorers using the newly discovered drift plane began to arrive in the solar system, now pretty much cleared of all life (including the super-bug, which had nothing left to infest). They found some androids, got them working, and activated them.

They patched together the basics of the whole story from what they could recover from the data files, but very few specifics: mostly just that there used to be a biotech race, they all got sick and died, but put their souls into androids. Now, the androids are all that's left of this race, a few million. The knowledge of how to make the soul matrices is lost, so no new ones can be made... they can make things like them, but they won't have souls, they'll just be robots with AI.

So now, there are basically three types of androids you'll usually find:
There's the "Fuck this, I'm going solo." type that just wants to live their life and go do shit. These are usually the adventurers. Also most other androids discovered outside of their homeworld, who just want to live a normal life.
There's the "Preservation at all cost." type that believes that androids, being the stewards of the souls of a dead race, are obligated to stay alive above all else until they can figure out how to make new soul matrices to basically allow the race to be reborn. They all tend to stay holed up on their homeworld, paranoid about any threat, and obsessed with recovering the data on the corrupted drives to figure out as much as they can about the dead race.

It's a good word

>>54911707
A fantasy hero isn't a little above average, at one thing only. Put those rolls in the garbage.
>>
>>54911707
Okay, if you're serious...

You want that 5 to be in something like Charisma. Dump that as low as you can. Put the 15 into STR, put the 13 into CON and put the 11 into DEX. Put the rest into INT and WIS. Roll an Aasimar Barbarian or a Fighter, Barbarian is more useful since you can shore up your shitty stats by +4, and Aasimar gives you statboosts with no penalty.

The Medicine check DCs for treating deadly wounds are so high that you may as well just rely on a cache of serums of healing mk 1 for noncombat restoration of Hit Points.

Starfinder is a space opera science fiction setting, and yet the best way to heal from wounds outside of battle is through purely magical, non-technological healing potions.

How does this make sense?

>>54911864

Why not consider an Intelligence-based Charisma-dumper, such as a character with Clever Wordplay, Cunning Liar, Pragmatic Activator, Student of Philosophy, and/or Orator?
>>
>>54911871
Miss chances do not stack. You simply use the greater one.
>>
>>54911842
Then there's what I call the "weeaboo" type, that believe that since they hold the souls of the dead race, they are in effect that race. They've done everything they can to mimic them, using every tiny scrap of information recovered from the corrupted data storage to try to recreate the race's society again. They also tend to stay on their homeworld, though some of them do venture out. They also tend to modify their android bodies extensively, since the race's propensity for self-modification was learned from some of the data-recovery.

But overall, androids are the last remnants of a dead race, and each android that dies is another soul permanently lost (as far as most are concerned, anyway: still that debate on the nature of souls RE: race). How a lot of them deal with that knowledge is a big part of who they are as a person.

Also, this gives me some interesting story possibilities... for example, if a lot of androids suddenly start disappearing, is it a racially motivated killing spree, or a misguided android trying to "protect" as many souls as they can? What about a scientist (android or otherwise) that's kidnapping and experimenting on androids to discover - through increasingly gruesome means - how to recreate a soul matrix... and to what end? Can you remember the past lives of your soul? What about some androids -
recurring friendly NPC's, perhaps - going on a cross-galaxy pilgrimage trying to trigger lost memories to help learn more about their past?

Anyway, I still have some bits to fill out, but I thought it was an interesting idea.

True, the medical expert feat is also a trap since it costs the same as a potion but still has the chance to fail.

other than that be a character with an animal companion, a druid would work.
>>
>>54911707
>>54911942
Okay actual playable solution: You need to be a summons-focused character. You lose absolutely nothing, maybe a handful of spells per day you don't strictly need. Summoner is obvious, but all fullcasters can do it and a bunch have specific options that make summoning better for them in some way.
>>
>>54911942
>gm does not allow for rerolls or point buy
Find another group.
>>
>>54911976
There's nothing special about Synth for using bad stats. You're still using your eidolon's stats whether it's apart from you like a regular Summoner or on you wasting your actions with Synthesist.

Our group is already discussing how to adjust the balance of the DCs, but I also intend to talk my GM into letting me make a technological alternative to the healing serums which heals a comparable about, maybe slightly more, but slower by giving fast healing for a few turns.

>>
>>54912394
It's a bit of an oddity; by RAW, you shouldn't be able to, because you can only coup de grace a helpless (IE can make no actions other than purely-mental) target, and CdG is a full-round physical action. However, several instances in various APs (notably Book 2 of Rise of the Runelords in the haunted house) state that a character "attempts to commit suicide (coup de grace themselves)", implying that a CdG is, indeed, allowed despite breaking the rules regarding who you can target with it.

Hey 2Hu what's the best feat combination for a level 1 Technomancer? Improved init is definitely a winner but there aren't many good options for the 2nd feat since the feats are kind of shitty or have prerequisites that make them unavailable at Level 1.

Probably toughness and weapon focus are the only ones that give benefits for an Level 1 technomancer while Spell penetration doesn't really help you live through rusty dagger shanktown.

A willing target is probably an easy exchange for a helpless one in anything saying it needs one, barring some nonsense spell that targets and removes helplessness or something.

But lets say I wanted to play human due to reasons. What would be my best choice for my bonus racial feat?

Also, Why those spells? Jolting surge is a melee touch spell so unless I'm missing something (definitely a possibility) it would be a str based check. Supercharge weapon on the otherhand seems good but two turns to deal 4d6 extra damage doesn't seem very efficiency compared to lets say, casting some other spell like overheat which I guess could be troublesome due to its poor range. Maybe I'm just stuck to PF theory but is one spell slot for a single target burst worth it?

>>54913086

You are completely correct about Jolting Surge. I was imagining that it could use Dexterity for the attack roll. It seems that I was wrong.

With that in mind, for a human technomancer, you still want Supercharge Weapon. You can use it to hypercharge an ally's weapon, after all. Overheat will likewise provide a fair amount of damage at 1st level.

As for feats, you truly do have few options. Improved Initiative is a given, so I suppose that leaves only Toughness.

>>54913179

An exocortex seems terribly underwhelming compared to a drone.
>>
>>54913073

Eh, maybe a little. But not as much as I'd feel concerned about. It makes you more fighty yourself, and you can mod yourself, and hack shit super good.

Only thing I wish was that you could split yourself between Targeting and Hacking as soon as you got a second Target, rather than having to wait until three targets.
>>
>>54913230
What about Longarm proficiency as some anon has suggested? Its probably going to be a two feat investment with Versatile specialization as a feat at level 3 but then again, level 3 is also an equally dead level on account of Spell focus already being a Technomancer freebie.

I agree, my first character is going to be one with the Scholar Theme, their field of specialization will be nano-technology.

Technomancers are swimming in spell slots, between Spell Cache and Energize Spells.

A longarm may not see that much use from turn to turn, and you might not hit that often with Dexterity 14 and 3/4 BAB. I, for one, do not think it would be worth the investment, but I can see the logic behind taking up a longarm regardless.

They are worse than drone mechanics but completely viable.

I dare say that a soldier (sharpshoot) 19/solarian (solar armor) 1 build is optimal.

The solarian dip provides a ranged soldier a handful of useful class skills (including Perception and Stealth!), +1 AC from solar armor, and +1 damage from photon mode.

Would anyone else agree that this is a good investment?

Well, let's see.

Envoy: 1 level gets you stealth and perception as well. You get one improvisation, and expertise 1d6 with Sense Motive + 1 additional skill as long as you have a resolve point.
Saves are +2 Will and +2 Reflex

Mechanic: You get a pick of your AI type, a Custom Rig, +1 insight to computers and engineering. You get computers and perception.
Saves are another +2 Fort and +2 Ref

Mystic gives you quite a few skills, but only +2 will save-wise. Connection, spells, healing touch can be of use.

Operative: Did you want skills? Skills yes? Skills. You also get +1 to initiative and skills, even more skill bonuses from choosing your specialization, and trick attack if you were going to use small arms, but that's probably less useful to your soldier.
