Pathfinder emphasizes muscles for grappling, but I’ve known small people with solid technique who can hold even the biggest guys.
General Skill
Prerequisites expert in Acrobatics
You don’t need to be strong if your technique is solid. You can use acrobatics instead of athletics when using weapons with the grapple traits or when you use the grapple action.

The mother of mites looks like a dark young with three legs leading to a large middle body and several tendrils emerging from the top. However in place of a mouth, there isa the mangled body of a women. She is emaciated, but can still talk in a horse, raspy voice. Also, her body and the larger body are riddled with holes and tunnels from which the star mites emerge. None know from where in the body the mites are produced.

Product– Starfinder Beginner Box
System- Starfinder
Producer– Paizo
Price– $29.99 here https://miniature-market.sjv.io/GmOnOE
TL; DR– Good with a few issues 90%
Basics– To the stars! The Starfinder Beginner Box is the intro box for the Starfinder RPG, walking players through some basic character generation, how to play, and an intro adventure. It also provides dice, maps, and cardboard standees.
Mechanics or Crunch– What’s here is good, but is is missing a few key things. The walkthrough of how to play is a solid introduction to the game. But, and it’s a big but, it does leave out several things like starship combat. I LOVE Starfinder so that’s something that I think needs to be shown off. Also, as the GM, some of the skills are mislabeled. The skills that are used are simplified versions of the main skills to make life a bit easier for new players and GMs, but I feel that kind of handicaps the learning experience. That all said, it does work well and is a decent introduction to the system. 4.25/5
Theme or Fluff– The box set gives a solid introduction to the world and system, if a bit stifled. You get enough, but the adventure is a dungeon crawl. Not bad, but a bit simplified for an adventure. There are some social interactions, but I’d like more. The Pathfinder 2nd ed. Beginner box has two whole levels of dungeon, and I feel this was just a bit short. It works well, but I wanted more. 4.25/5
Execution– What’s here is fantastic. I love the maps, standees, and books. Everything that is included is done well. Solid work! 5/5
Summary-This is a good, if short, introduction to Starfinder. I like what’s here, but just need more. I want a short space shootout. I want more social. I want full skills,not simplified ones. But those are small wants compared to my friends who learned the system quickly from the box, and myself who was able to GM a game on the fly with minimal prep using this starter set. It’s good, but you will learn more when you buy the full book. 90%
Umbilus Colostrum
Milked from the foul broodmothers of the minotaurs, this milk is oddly gray in color and is warm to the touch even if kept in a refrigerator. The milk energizes the body and extends life all while stripping the soul. If a person drinks eight ounces of milk, the person’s strength, constitution, and power increases by 50 each and they can not die from natural causes for one week. However, they lose 1d6 sanity.
This milk also does not spoil so it can be stored near indefinitely if stored in a cool place. If minute amounts of milk are added to bulk milk supplies, then the milk will appear much higher in quality, nearly doubles the quantity, and fetch a better price.

The minotaur is a creature made from a man, dead or alive, a star mite, process/created inside a External Umbilus. The creature stands about seven feet tall, on two legs, and is extremally muscular. Its body is wrapped in oddly corded muscles and veins pulse strangely below its skin. Its legs bend backwards like a cows, but the skeleton is bent at odd angles as its misshaped physiology should not support its weight or life. Its hands have four fingers, but they jut from the palm at odd, unfortunate angels. Its breaths are labored as it walks and stands. Its head is that of a cow and older ones, if they survive that long, can grow horns with bulging eyes that are too close together on its cow face. It is covered in fur that follow standard bovine patterns. In the center of its chest is a star mite that’s tendrils burrow deep into the creature joining its nervous system, circulatory, and digestive systems.
These minotaurs must be nursed by an external umbilus’s colostrum to be as strong as they can be. If they do not drink the colostrum, they are much weaker having their STR drop to 80 and their CON drop to 50 and they will not survive past a few, painful days.
