Starfinder General /sfg/

We were on page 4, numbnuts.

What do you expect from weebtrash?

Androids have (subdued) emotions and basic organic needs like food and drink. They are not pure machines.

That said, they're probably vicious perverts on account of them experiencing sensation without any of the pesky emotions getting in the way.

Though they're stereotypical "teach me this emotion you call love" types, so when they fall in love they FEEL it.

>You will never adopt a Fox-girl

How do you think the catfolk from the Veskarium feel about becoming manservants or meidos? Cats in suits tickles me.

Adorable as shit, but honestly I don't care much for the pathfinder Catfolk because they're 30% - 40% furry, and that's 10 - 20% TOO MUCH. Anything more than a 20% furry is unfuckable.

Except y'know, they're robots. They can't feel emotions.

is playing a futa android ok?
i want to play a xeno seeker android envoy that travels the galaxy to document and exterience the sexual behaviors of many types of aliens. it has a 3d printer on its ship that creates xeno genitalia, essentially a dragon dildo factory. then the android can insert them into its natural armor slot and fuck its way around the galaxy.

is that degenerate?

Different kind of Degeneracy, I mean you are essentially having sex outside of marriage, and that's hella degenerate. But it's really only bad if your futa android fucks anything else with a dick, because that's gay. And being gay is a form of degeneracy so high, you will go to hell for it.

They can feel emotion and sensation, though. That means love and pleasure.

no no no, the dildo factory can also create alien fleshlights. any type of crazy xenocock or xenopussy, this machine can create. also, is it still degenerate if the intercourse does not result in children? i think its only degenerate if it results in bastard children

The thing about tabletop is you could suggest your Catfolk was specially bred to be hairless and more human, or genetically engineered by Oras, or drank a Serum of Appearance Change to get more headpats by the Humans, or even Catfolk just look like cat-people.

>Implying they'd get more headpats by looking more human
What foolishness is this?

Absolutely, it is however not degenerate if you're using the collected semen to impregnate other people.

You'd be a succubus, eagerly getting fucked by the party's Pilot only to strap on a penis and inseminate the party's Engineer with the Pilot's seed like an Incubus.

Dude stop, we're reaching levels of degeneracy so deep, you could swim in it. I'm almost horrified.

I'm just as horrified that someone would go without their goddamn helmet. What was she thinking, leaving the armory like that?

Your argument would be better if you had actually read the book, user, since it explicitly says they feel emotions keenly. They just might have trouble expressing it.

centaurs are my fetish

Are you ready?

Paizo is such cancer their fans are obsessed with anime trash and sex in everything. You game is trash, it should not have stopped from ripping of 5E, it should have become 5E because with things it stole it can't live on its outdated shitty template that is Shitfinder/3.5 .

>implying anyone actually runs this game
furfags and robosexuals, this thread is your cage, it has no other purpose.

i am confused

So what are good options for technomancers? I know I've seen things pop up like using Energize Spell and abundant first level spells to spam Supercharge Weapon, and I've seen things about spellshot sniping, but what about their other hacks? Are things like Quick Scan potentially useful utility, or are they just trap options?

I thought you were calling it shitseeker nowadays?

Yeah, that could be handy. Of course, "could be handy" isn't exactly what some people look for in a character option.

Said the guy posting monstergirl shit.

So! With the Alien Archive coming out next month, what kind of life-forms would you like to see?

the kind you fly in space

Shoebill would never have done that.

More variety of small races and some large races as well.

Robots, Azlanti, Drow, Big Stupid Jellyfish, Nuari, Humanoids that aren't explicitly "Human, but..."

Lots of sexy loli furries with gender fluidity.

giant telekinetic heads

Do they have a Swallow Whole ability?

I was never interested in these threads before now.

Downloading the core rulebook.

Drow, Formians, whatever the "PC friendly" Eoxian undead is, and a lot of weird player races.

I am hoping that they could sneak in some good racial feats or adaptations, but that would be unlikely.

In other news, has anyone tried setting up a game with the starting AP module?

No, but they are often one of the oldest creatures in the universe.

My thing in a jar is better than your thing in a jar.

Beyond that, I would like to see more transhumanism as it where. Far being it than simply another alien race I want to see groups who take in different groups and change them

>I want to see groups who take in different groups and change them

The Augmented already do that.

Well I want more damnit!

I plan to introduce Miindflayers in setting after discovering the Illithid tadpoles frozen in an underground facilitiy

>I plan to introduce Miindflayers
you can't. they are not in the PF/SF setting.
you are allowed to use aboleths though.

>you are allowed to use aboleths though.

Is there a way to get your dex bonus instead of str for melee weapons? like weapon finesse from pathfinder/D&D?

Operative weapons are basic melee weapons that can use dex instead of str for attack rolls, though they only get half your level to damage from weapon specialization. They're daggers and batons, plus the two special stun-rod batons that are too fancy to have "baton" in their name.

Otherwise, no.

>Anything more than a 20% furry is unfuckable

What is it like to be so wrong about everything in life?

So: Break down the meme for me.

I've seen it thrown around that characters actually get worse as they level up.

So, show me some numbers either supporting that or refuting it.

You don't need to see the numbers because Paizo is going to fix it.
They are going to fix everything. Just you wait and see.
Just make sure to preorder the next rules supplement so you don't get left behind!

Here's how the Soldier does against equal-level skill checks if they invest everything they can get into that skill.

For the longer version of this, the Soldier represents any character whose class does not provide a bonus to the skill they are trying to use. Every class but the Soldier and effectively the Solarian gets a bonus to at least two skills that increases as they level. As long as characters in those classes are trying to do something their class specializes in, they can expect a reasonably consistent success rate throughout their career vs. same-level DCs, varying up or down by maybe 5%. It's because the default DC is 15+1.5*CR, or item level, or what have you.

If you're a specialist in something, you're fine for most of your career. If you're absolutely dedicated to something, and your class supports it, you're fine even at level 20. If you're thinking of doing something outside what your class enables, and you want to stay good at it from levels 1-20, you can fuck right off.

Ah, I recall seeing the sliding CR thing before, never a good idea.

So, they've effectively made every class T3/4. Good at one thing, possibly, and shit outside it.

Assuming people are stupid enough to RAW a paizo game.

Note that this only applies to checks that use the DC=15+1.5*CR formula which would be something like the bluff DC to feint, most checks have a set DC.

Dumbass party member burned more of our resolve with his flamethrower than the Necrons we were fighting did.Screw Eox.

>disgracing Necrons by putting them in shitseeker

Idk what they're really called. Every description of them just sounds like a Necron though.

all the opposed-type ones follow that formula, and that formula's the minimum (it's the encounter CR into that formula OR the critter's own total bonus to, say, perception).

Stuff like acrobatics you're okay, but only the envoy can hope to keep a 50% or better chance of succeeding at diplomacy at high levels.

Yeah the opposed ones get dumb, and the starship ones are even worse. Side note, I just realized an Operative that maxes Int at 20th level has enough skill points to max out every skill but profession.

Think when I finally get to play I'm going to ignore spending Resolve on short rests and just have Stamina regen be automatic.

On the flipside, Resolve won't regen from long rests and only resets when you reach a quest milestone.

Why would anyone play this garbage when Stars Without Number exists?

Lots of people don't know about SWN.

And he'll still be worthless at half of them and all the starship ones.

Sausage, Paizuri.

That will fuck over certain classes like Envoy hard and if your players get knocked down too much they are dead.

Acrobatics for balancing or flying, sure. Acrobatics for tumbling, that's the only place you get 20+ instead of 15+, trying to tumble through someone. Because they really needed that extra +5 to the DC for the final touch.

Because OSR is a meme spouted by grognards who are even more afraid of change than the fucking 3aboos.

And yet SWN is still the superior game in every possible way.

Sell me on why SWN is good and I should feel bad for not knowing it exists.

Sell me on why SWN is bad and user should feel bad.

So players should just bed down for the night in the middle of investigating an enemy base?

I'm not saying "only regens at the end of an adventure." I'm saying "regens at the end of a chapter in an adventure."

>So players should just bed down for the night in the middle of investigating an enemy base?

Of course! Everyone knows an advanced research facility has all sorts of alcoves and hidden places some identified intruders can just hide away for days and days at a time, without anyone either disturbing them or calling for reinforcements off-world.

SWN has three classes, each of which has one class feature. I get why some people like it, but I prefer games with more complexity and options.

Has exactly as many viable options as shitseeker

Don't get me wrong, SWN isn't bad for what it is. But it's definitely OSR at its core so it's made to cater to that specific crowd. If you like character building or having lots of options you're going to be disappointed.

Why the fuck are you even In this general you shitposting piece of filth? Oh wait I just answered my own question

Someone has to educate the unwashed masses.

On what? How to suck big black dicks?

Autistic people can't accept the fact that other people have different tastes.

What class lets me play as a SPESS MUHREEN?

And is it actually good?

Soldier.

If you want to be a Wolf Runemaster type, take a dip into Soldier and then Solarion

Soldier without question

Armor Storm for power armor

Bombard as your secondary fighting style for Devestator Marines, Blitz for Assault, Hit and Run or Sharpshoot for Tactical, Arcane Assailant for with the inkling connection feat for Psyker

Do we have space catfolk yet?

they're officially canon but we don't have stats yet.

How come Ungarato in Dead Suns can have a bayonet?

Does it take a LEVEL 20 ARTIFACT weapon to make a bayonet possible?

This looks like an interesting game. I've never played a TTRPG before. Where would I find a group who could help me learn?

Maybe try out the Starfinder Discord?

discord.gg/YAk263j

What class in Starfinder if I want to OPERATOR?

Well, you've potentially got two; the Operative is the iconic Operator, being adept at stealth missions and being a cool character, while the Soldier is good if you want to be an excellent shoot-bang gunman.

>tfw no Lashunta gf

>the Operative is the iconic Operator, being adept at stealth missions and being a cool character

Do operatives use only pistols?

>bayonet guy is back

I see you're still in the good fight to get official rules for duct taping knives to guns.

They also get sniper rifles, but those don't jive with their class abilities very well since a lot of those are restricted to small arms and "operative" melee weapons.

Don't forget to take a Gyrojet Rifle come 13th lvl.
It's basically a bolter.

>Gyrojet Pistol
>Jarlslayer
>Fangblade
>Azlanti Imperial Citizen

Space Marine!

There's a discord linked to the starfinder reddit here.

Any early gear work better for operatives than others? I honestly am having trouble telling some of what's good.
