I'll probably check later to see what I can get. I forgot they were coming out today. This will be good because I have some friends who are starting up a Pathfinder game and I just told them about Starfinder so hopefully I'll be able to run games and host them at my new place.

Here are the free mini-adventures for Starfinder Society, which contain a handful of monster statistics:

http://paizo.com/products/btpy9u7x?Starfinder-Society-Roleplaying-Guild-Quest-Into-the-Unknown

To nobody's surprise, the monster math has changed not one bit from First Contact. At CR 1 and above, monsters still use 4 + 1.5 times their CR for "good" skills and 9 + 1.5 times their CR for "master" skills, and Perception is always a "good" or "master" skill.

Do you think a campaign set in the tumultuous first years following the Gap would be interesting?

>>54919908
Sooooo, Rovagug was totally getting let free by cultists so everybody banded together to seal him away in a pocket dimension Gallifrey War style, then wiped everyone's memory and refuse to speak about it to make sure nobody can attempt it again, yeah?

Hey /tg/

Here are my Starfinder houserules to boost Envoys a little, tweak Operatives a tad, and rework Solarians into a cooler class.

plz review

>>54920062
That's part of the plan! being the best beep is the goal. Hugs and being a saucy tart are crucial

>>54920094
Absolutely. The ingrained plot and character hooks of mass memory loss and a great loss of historical context would be really interesting.

If they were all really cool than they can't sell you more books showing off the good ones.

>>54920096
That very well might be the case, though it's also just as likely that there's some hidden, lame excuse for the Gap that will never be mentioned because Paizo is about as open to commitment as a 23 year old New York girl.

>>54920108
The Operative is overnerfed. It didn't need a nerf - the other classes needed a buff.

>>54920108

A melee envoy still has to sink a feat into Heavy Armor Proficiency, and is screwing over their skill monkey potential by investing in Strength and bogging themselves down in armor check penalties.

You should allow Operative's Edge to apply to more skills than just one initially.

You have done nothing but downgrade 1st-level solarians for no reason at all, and downgrade solarians in general. You have not even fixed their MAD. Why would you do this?

>>54920094

Yeah, with the timeline it's easier to set up games between the first years post gap to the present. I think it would be neat to have some kind of generational game session taking place over the 300 years of the setting

So I read that Starfinder is science fantasy. Is there elves and dwarves in space and if not why not? Also, how do I get pic related into space?

>>54920210
>Is there elves and dwarves in space and if not why not?

Dwarves and Elves are absolutely in, though sadly I have to say "proper" wizards no longer exist.

I mean, you could still be a "wizard" and just be a Mystic who does the flowing robes and typical wizard shit but if you are looking for Wizard the class then it's technicaly not a thing in the starfinder setting.

That said, now I have this amusing idea of a group who ironically do fantasy larping roleplaying in setting

>>54920073
of all the people to make this game, why did it have to be paizo

>>54920124
desu, for some reason all you've done is reminds me how so many classes are lacking spells they should really have on their spell lists.
Why is shit like Produce Flame not a magus spell, it's the most basic bitch functionally possible and would for the stereotypical image, you had ONE JOB, PAIZO.

So a buddy who says he's an experienced GM sent me his house rules for Giantslayer I am unsure what to think of all this because its mostly tl;dr here's his "reasonable" rules

>In order to Aid Another, you must be trained in the skill.
>There are three ways to Search; Quick Search, Normal Search and Thorough Search.Quick Search: May Search four adjoining squares in one Round, but you only use your Base Perception Score. Others may assist the highest Perception player for the situation, but only using their Base Perception for the assist (no die rolls). Normal Search (Search): May Search four adjoining squares in one Minute by making a normal Perception check. If the situation allows, you make Take 10 on this check. Others may assist the highest Perception player in one of two ways, either for thoroughness or for speed. You are limited to a maximum of 5 assistants in the same area. If for thoroughness, you are limited to a maximum of 5 assistants in the same area. Depending on the situation, these assistants may be able to Take 10. This method still requires a full Minute. If for speed, each assistant, up to the maximum of 5, shaves off a single Round of time spent Searching the area. This does not add anything to the primary players Perception check. Thorough Search: May Search four adjoining squares in 20 Minutes. This is basically Taking 20. Others may assist above, but only for thoroughness (they may Take 10, thus automatically assisting).This is an average time. Some areas may be kind of bare, others packed, but the above times will be used as an average to standardize Searching.
You can also split the party up in Search Teams, with certain people always assisting for time or assisting for thoroughness, etc and just state we are doing our standard Search patterns
>I am going to change crafting in my campaigns. It is way too easy to make Magic Items, so the DC to make an item will now be the CL+10+the market value of the item modifier.
Is this reasonable?

>>54920457
What do people think of the Legendary Gunslinger and or the Rajah?

>>54919908
>Have you gotten your Starfinder and Dead Suns PDFs yet?
No. The connection to paizo's download client times out without doing anything.
This happens every time they release something, though. It's not really a surprise.

>>54920492
The item crafting part is pretty fucking unreasonable, everything else seems not too dumb.

>>54920492
Anyone that calls themselves "experienced GM" has no idea what they're doing. At all. Ever.

Someone post the game they're working on! I want to go on epic adventures and fight giant monsters with my friends!

>>54920514
>>54920548
There's additional rulings he added if you want to see them.

>>54920548
This is true. I'm an experienced DM, been playing for over 20 years over multiple systems. And I don't know shit.

>Spell casters must make a check to target a cross-section of squares or the center of a hex.This check uses the casters Ranged Attack Modifier vs. AC 5.This check is considered a Skill Check, so a Natural 1 is treated as a -2.
>Use the grappled creature's light load carrying capacity, modified by its size and type, as per the carrying capacity rules. If the grappler weighs less than the creature's light load, the creature can move at half speed, but is considered "Heavily Encumbered" for penalties. If the grappler weighs less than the creatures passive light load, than the creature can move at half speed but is now "Medium Encumbered" for penalties
>Each character starts with 3 Fate Points and 1 Hero Point: Fate Points are used to save the character from death, but that character would effectively be out of the encounter for a bit after that.
>Hero Points will be used as before, without the options of stopping death (that is what Fate Points are for); also, you can no longer cast higher level spells by expending a Hero Point. I will allow you to spend a Hero Point to cast a spell up to your maximum level that you already know, however (as if you had another spell slot to do so); this spell does not need to be memorized (for casters that must do so). If you are a spontaneous caster, that spell can be cast at +1 caster level. Changing the scene can still be used as can be the bonuses of +8/+4/+2 (hero for your own roles, before/after the die roll/after results) or +4/+2/+1 (hero effecting other roles, including the hero's own AC score as a Luck bonus, before/after the roll/after results). Hero Points are now an enhancement to a Luck bonus instead of a straight out Luck bonus (so they now stack if you already have a Luck bonus)

>>54920493
Legendary Gunslinger (at least what I saw of it) is a bit much to wrap my head around. Looks good, but somehow I've a bit of difficulty on the intake, maybe it's just how it's written in googledocs.

Rajah I rather like. Not really the kind of thing I'd play myself, but I'd like to have one in the party and I do like their abilities.

Pathfinder mechanics question: Some feats have a level prerequisite like, for example, the Disruptive feat has the prerequisite: "6th-level fighter" Does this mean that this feat can only be taken at level 6 for fighters? or (and I believe this is more likely) Does it mean fighters of level 6 and up can take that feat?

>>54920756

It means that fighters of level 6 and above can take that feat, yes.

>>54919908

The few Elves left are xenophobes who never left Castrovel, and dwarves nearly but not quite extinct like all other Golarian natives (4% of pop on homeworld station) besides humans because those breed like rabbits, but yeah, They do exist.

>>54920756
At least 6 levels of Fighter.

There are equivalences, some archetypes of other classes, etc can say "your levels count as X levels of fighters" with the X usually being something like "this class's level -3"

You can retrain a feat from earlier (level 1/3/5) into that one but a feat only FUNCTIONS while all of its prerequisites are operational. So say you need point-blank shot: if you ever retrained out of the latter you'd lose everything it's a prerequisite for.

Unless an exception is clearly spelled out (usually in some archetype or class ability that grants you a specific feat) then the feat simply does not function for someone who does not have at least 6 levels of fighter.

>>54920799
Every Drow and Elf has a duty to repopulate their race's ravaged numbers!

>>54920492
>In order to Aid Another, you must be trained in the skill.
This is RAW for trained skills iirc. Can't help someone disable a trap if you don't know how.

We were talking starfinder character concepts and it sounds like there's a lot of enthusiasm. Hashing out how to do a Tiefling, space dwarves, whether or not I could sell asteroid bits as 'authentic Golarion rocks'.

We may all end up being galactic con men.

Hey man thanks for the feedback.

I don't mind Envoys sinking over points to Heavy Armor if they want to go melee. I think it's compensated by the fact that unwieldy melee weapons are pretty damn good.

I unnerfed Operative's Edge. I'll give it another shot. Maybe in my session the Operative was too good because he had three Skill Foci.

I bumped the Armor for Solarians to 1st level. I fixed their MAD by granting them higher base AC. If you have higher base AC, the need for DEX is smaller. I also added Parallax for people who want DC-based Solarians, granting them an effective bonus to their DCs.

Also, check out the new item – I grant Envoys/Solarians their highest stat as key for Resolve, rather than CHA.

>>54920820

Unecessary. Complicated. Just dumb.

This seems interesting. I feel like 3 fate points is a bit much, but it makes sense since no one uses hero points for almost anything other than avoiding death.

Let me put it like this. Most Wizards can fucking easily afford a 14-16 Dex on 20 PB along with 18 Int. That's a +3/3 Modifier vs AC 5. You're average d20 roll is 10.5. I see no fucking point to this houserule besides making shanktown more retarded and swingy.

>>54920493
>>54920751
Is word in on Unchained Gunslinger vs. Legendary Gunslinger?

>>54920842
Yeah I was a bit confused at that rule

>>54920963
>>54920995
I wish I could explain his logic in some way but this is how he likes to play any tabletop. He hates it when magic items are found as loot he also feels its appropriate to give monsters below CR 2 DR 10/magic to make them pose more of a challenge

>>54920799
There are lots of dwarves if you know where to look. Most of them piled into generation ships for the second quest for the sky.

>>54921008

>>54920492
>CL+10+the market value of the item modifier.
So the DC for crafting a +1 greatsword from scrap has a DC of 1363?

>>54921026
Why do you still play with this person.

Why isn't this person just playing "lol you forgot to lick that doorknob, so you explode" OSR shit. Seems right up his alley. Like what brings people with this sort of mindset to play PF, the game least suited for this.

There are few words in this sentence that aren't wrong in some form or another.


Making hero points an enhancement on luck bonuses is tolerable though. Otherwise it screws over halflings and other such.

>>54921044
Yeah, that's what I thought. Why not just say no if you're going to houserule the DC to be arbitrarily high.

>>54921053
>>54921041
I want both of you to play doctor

>>54921044
I think it's more like CL+10+Unmodded item value
So a +1 great sword is 3+10+50, so 63. Still retarded.

>>54921053
Not, him but I went to the doctor and that made me want to die more. But it seems my body is way ahead of me on that front.

>>54921052
He's usually tolerable as a player its when he GMs he becomes an insufferable faggot

That's a poorly planned out scaling away from flying a starship

>>54921026
>he also feels its appropriate to give monsters below CR 2 DR 10/magic to make them pose more of a challenge
This is mine, if using them for higher level encounters. 4e and most JRPGs do similar with a palette swap and raising damage and health instead.

>>54921044
It gets dumber. At least this has the excuse of being a magic weapon, although guaranteed it's now completely impossible for anyone to craft any magic weapons anyways (also it would be +2k DC not +1k, 1k is for armor and it's based on market not crafted value).

Want to make masterwork padded armor? DC 105.

What are some builds- any class- that are pretty good from level 1 (or, at minimum, level 3)?

What gestalt would do well with said builds?

>>54921100
That also means they're no longer CR2 and should no longer only be worth CR2 xp in the setup.

>>54921066
Can I play doctor with you?

>>54921093
Have you tried giving him a taste of his own medicine?

>>54921100
Except DR 10/Magic won't mean shit at higher levels. Dr/Magic may as well not exist at all at that point.

>>54921106
Magic items and normal items use a different DC

>>54921149
Means they have to die to your spell/sword. No tricky shenanigans, and if they can prevent either of those through tuckers kobolding then they're doing good.

Darth Vader as a dark Solarian, how?

>>54921110
Well built martials tend to function best at low levels while caster's tend to do best in mid-to-high levels. Try a human Swashbuckler with the Feat Slashing Grace (Scimitar) and you'll do well in the early level and if you super max your Dex you'll be good at killing thing in melee but you won't have much else. If you are going gestalt pair it with Sorcerer.

Doesn' t need to be a straight vader analogue.

>>54921470

It is, though; when Queen Liliuokalani attempted to draft a new constitution to strengthen the monarchy rather than American growers, they overthrew the government with US marines nearby to "protect American interests". Then, during the Spanish-American War, it was annexed by the United States, and it was elevated from territory to statehood in 1959.

Where do your grandparents think we got that 50th state?

Although a cyborg or better yet undead with cyber-parts would be neat.

>>54921549
>it was elevated from territory to statehood in 1959.
You forgot the part where Obama traveled back in time to annex it for Kenya, shortly before his birth.

>>54921502
I believe the idea is more that how you tap into that power is what the difference is.

Want to say you're just psychic? Your awakened mind is what allows you to tap into magic.
Want to say you get it from the gods? Your connection with your god is what gives you access to magic.

I personally am a fan... as much as I hate a lot of other shit in Starfinder so far.

Anyone else feel some of the locking in of Solarian choices seems kind of arbitrary? I'm talking about whether your mote is light or dark, and the form your solar weapon takes. With the mote, I feel it should have the appearance of whichever stellar mode you last attuned to, and your weapon, which the book says has no statistical bearing, you should just be able to manifest however you want rather than getting to choose its appearance once per level.

>>54921593
I understand, but I disagree. I find it much more enjoyable now. You can still have your different sources by referring them to as different magical Fields of Study, though.

It is starting over a bit since it's a new system, but I enjoy the idea of being able to get the spells I want with enough work.

The searching thing is dumb. It's overly complicated, and it's based on rounds when you're rarely if ever going to be searching in combat. The magic item thing though, is the dumbest shit I've ever seen. It would be so much better to just ban crafting feats; that would be saying, magic item crafting exists but I don't want to PCs to do it. Instead he's creating a world where magic items can't exist, because no one in history has ever been able to make the check even to make common items.

Yeah, they killed it a while back May30th 2016.

I had a character of every race, and was a major faction warfare driver for the caldari and amarr. I almost won the contest to name the officer laser rifle, but came in 3rd place partially due to bad luck and bad timing, servers went down for 6-8 hours on the weekend that I made my attempt. I used to be one of like 15 people who had the amarr commando to level 5 before its rework... and a lot of the good players on the forums considered me one of the 10 scariest laser rifle users in the game

CCP in general shits the bed with how they handle their properties though. They basically tried to remake dust from the ground up something like 7 times over its lifespan and even then they never managed to finish basic shit like a full loadout of weapons/vehicles for every race. When they still had world of darkness (they may still have the IP) it hit playable alpha 3 seperate times before they tossed everything out.

They just recently (as of like 2-3 days ago) got rid of walking in stations because they fucked that up, tried to force it on people (and removed functionality / melted gpu's) and then never implemented anything further with it while they were off to chase the next thing on the horizon.

>>54921991
Oh and my attempt for officer laser rifle was ~2782 kills in ~56 hours. The person who won the weapon name had ~3400 in the 72 hour period the contest alloted. 4 weekends of 72 hours

>>54921913
excessive arrogance, and hubris detected. Signs of a poor GM regardless of experience.

>>54921991
I never could understand just why they thought Dust was a good idea. How could they think that making a console-only action game based on a pc-only online autism simulator was gonna work?

Posting again

So I need opinions on how bullshit this is. We've been dealing with this weird eternal storm hanging over a kingdom surrounded by mountains, only two passes in or out. There have been strange mercenaries called the Wicker Men coming out of it. All normal contact why the kingdom inside had stopped a year before the storm appeared.

Fast forward we've been watching one of the massive fortresses that holds a pass. Suddenly it lights up and there is tons of activity. We sneak in. We get inside one of the bigger chambers and can hear talking when suddenly it stops (After the paladin starts moving around) then:
>GM: I need a will save from all of you
>everyone rolls
>GM: Ok, paladin you're still standing, everyone else falls prone, drops anything they're holding, and are pinned
>Paladin: I try and get Wizard up
>GM: As you're doing that what looks like an Imp made of pale gray smoke and embers appears on the balcony you all are on
>Imp: The Prince of Dust, Upon the Ashen Throne graces you with his presence.
>GM: From up the stairs a pale teenage boy walks up, as you see him you feel overpowering nausea. Everyone make a fort save.
>everyone rolls, only paladin and barb pass, everyone else is nauseated now too
>the prince just sort of walks forward as the imp dances around and looks at all of us
>the prince ends down to touch the face of our investigator (a woman)
>Paladin: I lunge at him and smite evil.
>GM: Ok, initiative.
>The fight lasted two rounds before our Paladin died
>The prince just touched him and spheres of the paladin turned to dust. (He got a fort save and passed one, failed the other)
>GM: After looking down at the Paladin's dissolving body the Prince's emotionless eyes fill with tears, he weeps silently without so much of a touch of the mouth. He turns to leave, the Imp with him, chuckling as he goes.
>GM: Maybe a minute later you all can move again.
>We fuck off, our wizard dimension dooring us away

How bullshit was this encounter?

>>54922098
>How could they think that making a console-only action game based on a pc-only online autism simulator was gonna work?

DUST 514 was developed during a period in time when the FPS was king, and consoles were kind of the undisputed master of them. The company was simply trying to tap into a market they've never approached before, using the "oorah" meathead console soldiers to fight, kill and die for their autistic spacebound overlords.

>>54922099

It was an obvious cutscene with a vastly more powerful creature.
You should have at least detected evil.
Simply charging into battle against something obviously vastly overpowering without any assessment of the situation was dumb.

For reference we're level 9. The rest of us survive and our wizard tries to puzzle out what happened with knowledge arcana. GM told us it was basically Finger of Death plus the dust thing. He also told us that the presence we felt was probably having something to do with mythic power.

We got most of our paladin's body and resurrected him later, so he's fine now.

Well, I happen to be an expert on this subject. CCP looked at their only game that they had: Eve online, and went "Oh boy, we're several years into this right now and games like these don't tend to last for forever... and we're beholden to a single market", and went "Hey, why don't we try to diversify and appeal to a bit of a different market".

So they looked at consoles, which were selling like fucking hotcakes. Playstation 3 had already sold something like 30million units when they announced dust, and they wanted to do cross-platform with xbox too (but microsoft shut that out). They were really hoping to leverage the inbuilt distribution models of PSN / XBL (which if you look at steam isn't anything to fucking joke about)... quality FPS's were in extremely high demand... and beyond that quality F2P was also just starting to get out there too.

It was honestly the perfect decision for the time, because F2P was almost completely untapped... however CCP was CCP and they let the game languish in development hell for far too long (and that was even with rumors of sony doing a ton of shit to help them out with development, even allegedly funding a portion of the development costs for dust). And CCP has an older population of extremely entitled bittervets who love to do just about everything they can to chase away new players, on boy were they fucking mad about dust not being a glorified expansion to eve that they never would have played anyways - they just wanted the *option* because everything CCP makes has to be made for them.

You don't see this sort of anger and resentment in most other game communities (barring the diablo 2 community who are also similarly pants-shittingly angry about d3). CCP was slow out of the starting block, and then classicly mishandled the game in a way that only CCP could: gigantic balance fuckups that took forever to address (scouts ruled the game from invisibility for over a year), and more.

What are some good, fun, even semi-decent builds that people should try out, 3pp or no?

>>54922173
Also our wizard tried to run when this all first happened by casting dimension door while pinned, but rolled a 2 on his concentration check and failed. The other dimension door game from his bonded object. In the minute we were all pinned we tried to do stuff. I couldn't start my performance to try and saving finale for another save because I'm a drums bard. Also our barbarian started raging while on the ground, but stopped after three rounds of nothing happening.

The rest of us (Paladin, Wizard, Investigator, Barbarian, Bard (me)).

>>54919908
Does bonded item ring mean you can enchant other rings too or just your arcane bond?

>>54922188
>Hardness 20
So hit it with an adamantine weapon and you bypass that shit.

>>54922147
The guy was introduced by an imp and named "The Prince of Dust, Upon the Ashen Throne". You shouldn't need a spell to know he's evil.

>>54922210
We tried knowledge nobility and didn't get anything during the attack. We only got what happened later when we tried to think about what the prince did rather than what is was (that's how the GM put it).

>>54922127
Actually in this case our paladin rolled low unfortunately. He has a bonus of like +14-15 I think, but he rolled a 3 and failed.

>>54922247
It's still dumb to attack a blatantly overpowering creature who isn't even hostile.
You should sometimes hold back your murderhobo instincts.

>>54922253
>isn't even hostile
>opens by casting a powerful control spell on everyone before even introducing himself
yeah totally not hostile

>>54922175
Nah. I couldn't be bothered with much of the game community after a while. I used to be an eve player and most of them pissed me off with their interactions with dust

"No you cant have nice things, because only space people are supposed to have nice things! My game is better because the decimal point next to my in game currency is higher than yours! I dont care that [dev in charge of fluff] has said [good things about how immortal clone soldiers] are in many ways better than capsuleers he's wrong because I dont like it!"

The wish fulfillment fantasies with eve players are fucking unreal and they sicken me. and there's so many fucking obnoxious faggot trannies that never undock but spend all their time sucking each others cocks about how they're so good at everything ever I literally ran into one that in our first interaction, tried to tell me about how "everyone agrees that she's the best at roleplaying". I was like "You're trying to tell me that you think you're special IRL for being the 'best' at playing pretend? well they don't hand out awards for that or doorknob humping dearie, so you can fuck right off because I don't care"

>>54922265
From the description, it's an aura kind of effect, not a control spell. Which implies it was something used to create an impression and scare people into submission. Especially since he didn't attack outside that aura.

>>54922279
The description doesn't indicate that at all. Also, the imp appeared after everyone was already prone. Meaning the little shit was hiding in wait for them. How is that in any way the behavior of a reasonable or friendly individual?

so, we have a STARFINDER pdf.

when do you think we'll have one with searchable text or bookmarks

>Get into a starfinder game
>GM only speaks in lower case letters and seems very uninterested

h-haha at least i'm in, right friends???

>>54922308
The guy wasn't acting hostile. The only "hostility" on his part was the aura which rekt everyone, which might not even be up to him to disable.

>>54922308
Or the imp teleported up to where they were. I have to agree with anon, sounds like an aura sort of thing.

>>54922321

Why does it matter if it's an aura? He's clearly aware that he has that power, and either way he's willfully using it against them.

>>54922315
Yours doesn't?
There's been one since August 8th
I got it from 7chan then

>>54922373
So? From the description of the scene, he wasn't looking for a fight.
It's a blatantly obvious case of "a clearly way out of your league creature wants to spook you".
Attacking in this context is tantamount to suicide.

>>54922373
Because most creatures can't turn off their auras?

>>54922374
Oh yeah? Prove it by posting it here, anon.

>>54922373
Notice him crying in the end. He's likely unable to turn off the aura.

>>54922373
PC commits suicide via antagonist. I would guess the GM was gonna let the party go after doing something to the investigator, but probably not kill her. Hell, he said >>54922173 that they resurrected the paladin later.

It's an old story.

>spook you

Not every encounter is supposed to be overcome by fighting. You don't handle a social encounter with a king by murderhoboing the king and claiming the throne for yourself. Same thing applies here.

>>54922407
He still finger of deathed the paladin to death.

>>54922418
The prince wasn't invisible. He walked up the stairs to the players. He probably walked and the pinning was when the players entered his aura.

What I'm seeing here is an aura that makes you bow, and an aura that punishes you if you actually look at the royalty. Sort of a 'keep your forehead pressed to the floor' thing.

>>54922428
>>54922429
Yes he was. Throwing people to the floor and nauseating them is a hostile action, doesn't matter if it doesn't deal hit point damage. Doesn't matter if the kid can't control it, he clearly knows what he's capable of and that he shouldn't be around people. And if the imp were really that powerful, why use such a massively destructive spell in retaliation? Why not just put the paladin to sleep or some shit?

It all smacks of the GM wiping his dick on the PCs for his own ego. Pardon me if I'm not impressed by that.

>>54922475
Not every situation is supposed to be murderhoboed through.
If your reptile brain can't comprehend that, you have no place in Pen&Paper.

Did you miss the part where the players has snuck into the enemy fortress?

The Imp never cast a spell.

>>54922437
Looks legit. Now how about the AP and Character Sheet Folio?

>>54922481
Don't use the word murderhobo like you know what it means. Why is it unreasonable for the party to refuse to negotiate with arrogant fuckwads who used a spell (or, indeed, some kid with a weird aura) to subdue them before even revealing themselves?

Not to mention, the boy's clearly unhappy. What if he's a prisoner? We're supposed to lay down and let that happen, as a Lawful Good?

You guys aren't using this word correctly. Not only did some people pass their saves, but they were allowed to keep trying to act. As anon said >>54922223 the wizard tried to bitch out and run, but failed.

>>54922549
The imp himself was scrawny and unimpressive. At a glance, it seems like he's only powerful because he has the prince under his thumb. It's entirely reasonable to consider the possibility that killing the imp could free the kid.

>>54922546
Yeah I'm not seeing how it's the GMs fault that a player gets his teeth kicked in when he attacks someone before even trying to say something after sneaking into the enemy stronghold with basically no info.

>>54922577
I was more getting the impression that the Imp was the prince's servant.

But they attacked the kid, not the imp. The prince reached to touch the girl. Instead of saying anything or trying to get between them, the paladin attacked the prince. It's not an unreasonable decision given the circumstances, but it's also not the only option they had. There was clearly some amount of power this thing had if it was suppressing nearly everybody by simply being present. It's unfortunate, but not really a bullshit situation, I'd say.

Well aside from the fact that putting in overpowered NPC quest givers is shitty quest design anyway because it demonstrates a lack of creativity to roll with the PCs' punches, all signs point to the kingdom being taken over by some malevolent force, judging from the storm that took place.

If they had stopped to talk, then what? How would that somehow tip the situation in their favor? If they can't back up any threats they make, they're still effectively prisoners.

Tip the situation in their favor? Probably not, but the prince seemed very willing to just leave after getting a look. If he hadn't attacked they might have all just been able to walk away.

>If they can't back up any threats they make, they're still effectively prisoners.
The prince just let them leave. He only actually hurt someone when attacked. The paladin probably could have just walked away.

It's not about appropriate CR, it's about appropriate perceptions. Aside from the aura, there was literally nothing to suggest they were more powerful than a 9th level party. It was an imp and an apparently human boy. You guys are assuming he's a god-being based purely on...what, his fancy title?

Are you telling me that if you saw a mummy show up and paralyze everyone, you'd be like 'hey guys hold on, let's see what it wants'

>>54922929
The save on the Mummy is laughably easy, which is the key point here.
Virtually everyone failed the save, implying the creature is very powerful.

>>54922942
A mummy in general is laughably easy for a party of level 9 characters. increasing the save DC would make sense. In any case, if you're going to surrender to a mummy over one failed save, you might not be cut out for the adventuring lifestyle.

>>54922969
If your entire party is incapacitated by the presence of a single creature, activating the organ known as brain and thinking is useful instead of mindlessly charging.
First, the guy wasn't hostile - there was no real immediate reason to fight.
Second, all of your party was already incapacitated - fighting even not an overpowered encounter alone is a deathwish, generally speaking.

What if you don't know what a Pit Fiend is? A creature's power level in PF has nothing to do with its appearance, a Large creature could be CR 3 or CR 20+.

>>54922992
>incapacitated the entire party
>not hostile
see I keep explaining why that's horseshit and you keep ignoring it

>>54922992
Bullshit that he wasn't hostile, he attacked the party with a supernatural effect. He was obviously evil, and he reached down to a helpless party member to do...something. What Paladin wouldn't try to protect his friend?

>>54923016
It's not really hositle if the general implication here is that he literally can't help it. It's (or at least is implied to be) a passive ability this Prince of Dust has no control over.

>>54923009
GM is supposed to give you an idea of a thing's power level somehow. Pit Fiends shouldn't just pop up out of nowhere, you should hear about them before you meet one.

>>54923016
He was passive and not attacking. It was his presence that incapacitated the entire party. As far as I can tell from the description of the scene, he was simply trying to give the cute girl a look before fucking off, which is when the Paladin charged like a retard.

>>54923009
A Pit Fiend has a DC 23 Fear aura. Most level 3 characters will fail that and be panicking.

>>54923053
It's an aura, m8.
He wasn't acting hostile, he just passed by and rekt people with his presence alone without doing anything hostile. That's not the kind of creature you attack.

>>54923067
>>54923067
>everyone knows about every single powerful monster in existence despite the fact that 99/9% of the populace couldn't tell a pit fiend from their own diarrhea.

>>54923097
Diarrhea doesn't look like an utterly terrifying abomination that makes anyone but the most hardened of adventures panic with mere presence.

>>54923071
Plenty of stronger creatures have been thrown at me as a level 9. Sometimes everyone rolls shitty on their saves, it doesn't mean the creature is all-powerful, it just means the dice is shitty or the DM overtuned the ability's DC.

You're not employing occam's razor here. What's more likely; that we're supposed to surrender to a creature who is, at the very least, inadvertently dicking us over and could potentially cause serious harm if something actually hostile shows up and takes advantage of our downed state? Or that the DM misjudged how powerful an encounter should be in a game well known for having shitty encounter balance?

All of that is irrelevant. The dude wasn't hostile. He was just passing by. There was no real reason to commit suicide by monster there.

Maybe they should copy more things from mass effect. Then they'd have an RPG system that functions properly

So here is my idea of what happened:
>Prince can't really be controlled, his arrival is probably what caused the fortress to light up
>He was probably doing something inside the building, soldiers giving reports to him and what not
>Soldiers can't get up because they're in his presense
>Prince hears the paladin clunking around after the party breaks in
>Turns and leaves to investigate
>Imp teleports ahead to announces his arrive
>Aura incapacitates the players, his soldiers can't follow him to investigate because getting close means they fall prone
>Prince is some kind of powerful mentally stunted creature (or maybe just mute and socially stunted?)

If you're alone, the enemy can incapacitate you by being near, and he hasn't yet actively tried to hurt you then why attack? Because people are taking passive stuff as active hostility, which is dumb.

I'm still in shock, they retroactively fixed 3 by making a worse game.

Starfinder now has a FAQ:

http://paizo.com/starfinder/faq

Interestingly:

>Does a mechanic have to pay twice as much to equip his hover drone, which is Tiny, with smaller weapons to avoid taking a -4 penalty to attack rolls with improperly sized weapons, as suggested under Weapon Sizes on page 168?

>No, a hover drone is an exception to the normal rules for weapons built for Tiny creatures. Combat, hover, and stealth drones with melee weapon arms or weapon mounts can use weapons designed for Small or Medium creatures without penalty for their size.

Hover drone mechanics are now combat juggernauts with amazing action economies.

I would go Mystic then, and hope they come out with a telekinetic focused tradition. It would work even better if they released some sort of energy-sword focused archetype.

No, it does. Which is why I don't run it. I did in the past, and it was a massive headache. Now I play within the scope of the working rules with a GM that modifies the shit out of the dysfunctional bits. Works well enough. I don't have the patience to take a hatchet to this mess.

Do insight bonuses stack in starfinder?

Making my first character and as an operative they get a +1 insight bonus to skill checks but then also get 2 free skills with skill focus that also gives a +3 insight bonus to them.

>>54923879
>a starfidner torrent
What for?

>>54923887
They don't. This was by design.

>>54923879
look up starfinder 7chan /tg/

youll find first encounters and the core rulebook

A question about occultist: Is using Necromantic Servant an evil act or not? It nowhere says that you need a body to raise the creature or that it's an evil act anywhere.

>>54923862
Well, do what you like but it'll definitely take a lot less effort to fix SF than PF. Most of the core mechanics are sensible this time, it just needs a lot of math adjustments rather than having a lot of convoluted inherently broken systems.

>>54923889
not sure why I said torrent, just menat leak in general

to actually look over the rules because I'm to lazy to download pages 1 by 1

then i can decide if i actually want to play SF at all, and whether or not to buy the pdf (I'd say hardcover, but I'd be lying if I said I expected SF to be that good)

Reminder on relevant characters/PCs:
>Mycroft Cutting, LE Half-Orc Investigator from Augustana. Affiliated with the White Goose trade company, it is on their behalf he has been sent to Michsbridge - for reasons he is only now starting to realize the truth of.

>Embry Winespeckle, NG Human Witch from Michsbridge. Never had she suspected the quiet, friendly Ranger Lenart to have been hiding such secrets, but she's more than happy to help him out in his time of need.

>Delnora Algata, NE Elf Investigator/Warlock Vigilante. A scammer and sneak-thief who works as a courier to get her hands on juicy information, she has in fact been tracking Elvargian's communications to his brother Abaric for a long time - and now, has stolen the documents intended for the Karvane Company representative meant to be sent to Michsbridge, impersonating them and going in their stead.

>Miri "Dale", LE Aasimar(Halfling) Magus from Ostenso. A slave born into the service of House Henderthane, she has been raised as the perfect secret agent by her masters - after all, nobody would expect a slip to willingly betray their own kind and work for a Chelish noble house - and now, she has been sent by Belphian Henderthane himself to unravel the mysteries of House Karvane's turmoil.

>Godefroy Lesarge-Masson, LG Human UC Cavalier from Laekastel. Previously a mere retainer for House Lesarge, he ended up remarrying into the house after a somewhat scandalous tryst with the Patriarch's daughter, Baroness Elnynaeve - and now, facing threats to the lives of both himself and his children, presumably from the scheming hands of his loving wife's family, he has engineered a way to get himself and his sons out of harms way for a while.

>Isaac Quint, LG Half-elf UC Cavalier from Laekastel. One of Godefroy's bastards he fathered while out on the campaign, Godefroy refuses to reveal who the mother is.
