r/starfinder_rpg

New to the game, with very little experience with ttrpgs in general. However, I've always had a deep love for the red mage of FF. I've done a little research, but it seems like the more I dig up, the more there is to understand.

What I think I know: either going Mystic or Technomancer. If we go Mystic, we grab Warmonger or Crusader as a connection (unsure as to which to go with). If we go Technomancer, we grab Junksword and Junk Armor. Either way, we grab Spell Seargent.

So, my question is: What spells would you recommend? Which class or connection would you vouch for, and more importantly, why? And, most of all, is there a good resource out the for how the game is meant to play out? I see a lot of numbers on Archives of Nethys, but they mean very little to me. Given I feel committed to taking on a spellcaster role, I feel I at least owe it to the table to have some research done before I sit down.

I am looking to create a new character for my GM's session. I want to make a experimental armor prototype mechanic that uses a exo suit. But I need a good tracker sheet to track everything. Can I have help with this? Also it needs to be printable cause this is a public meet up.

It's just a proof of concept at the moment, so be gentle, but I'd appreciate any feedback!

I tend to like systems which allow for a lot of character customization but are also reasonably well-balanced. What are the major differences between the editions? What are the major differences between the editions? I tend to like combat-focused classes, though magic-users are also fun (can I play as Iron-man)?

Class Flexibility

Which classes allow for the most options when it comes to deigning good or strong builds (not necessarily incredibly optimized)? I prefer playing classes which let me figure out which of several paths to take rather than characters with just a few clearly defined options. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I have a friend who wants to sell all of his first edition books and extras he got, but neither of us know the best place to sell them. Any help would be appreciated, and if anyone is interested, lmk?

I am very interested in looking at the different races in the game. when I got to the planar scions I saw that there was one for each of elemental planes and one each for the good, evil and chaotic planes. but what about the lawful plane, axis. in pathfinder there are the aphrodites (if im not mistaken) which are a playable race infused with power from axis. but Starfinder doesn’t have one. is there a reason why the Aphrodite is missing. and if there is one that I’ve missed do you know where to find it?

Are there any races in starfinder that have to live in containment suits or just have no choice but to be in one due to being dangerous to themselves or the environment?

View Poll

Hi all!

Been looking to start the AP with some friends and, looking at the map of the Drift Rock, are the PCs supposed to fight the Garaggakkal in that tiny strip of map?

Have you fought it there? Have you used an original different map (please share it if you have!)?

I am gearing up to run my first SF 1e game shorty and I have read through the rules and have a solid grasp on most things.

Statblocks however leave me immensely confused on one aspect. Gear

I for the life of me can not figure out if you are just ment to entirely ignore weapons for statblocks and purely go for the damages listed on the arrays or if you are indeed meant to give them weapons of level = CR and use the weapon die + CR

Premade statblocks seem to use weapons and have their damages be the weapon die but the rules themselves dictate that gear is inferred with the numbers on the table and therefore not needed so what on earth am I going to do here??

Pre made statblocks in general seem to just not add up with the tables by a few numbers here and there too so I am entirely confused.
