Benefit: If you do not share a language with a creature, you can still make a diplomacy check with no penalty. You can not communicate complex ideas but ideas of friendly and general help can be communicated with ease.
I saw a different version of this, but I feel we can do better!
Overwatch(Combat)
You’ll be watching, always watching
Benefit: When you ready an action in combat, you gain +2 circumstance bonus when the readied action is triggered. If readied action causes damage, deal an additional damage equal to 1 per 4 levels, rounded down, .
Basics– YOU ARE NEEDED PATHFINDERS! This is an intro scenario for new pathfinders and players of all ages. From a mushroom man trying to sort letters to uncovering a simple mystery can you, a new agent, help the Society in a time of need?
Mechanics or Crunch– This is a simple adventure that gets players rolling dice fairly quickly, but has a slightly slow start. It’s not a super risk taking adventure like the 2-01 intro, but it does introduce many society elements and grander plots. After learning about different adventures around the world, the game is a series of battles. Good for intro fun with some basic elements. It’s not crazy-advanced crunch, but it’s solid fun for new players. 4.5/5
Theme or Fluff– Much like the crunch, the adventure doesn’t take risks, has a slow start, but is a decent intro to the world of Pathfinder society. Reading letters at the start is a bit slow, but it does introduce the wider world quickly. The fights are fun if a little standard for 1st level. This isn’t an adventure to push the envelope, but it also doesn’t aim to be. 4/5
Execution– Paizo knows adventures, but they are also the most pricey. I like this one. It has a solid layout, pictures, and design, but it’s also an adventure that will only take about three hours, even with an uninitiated adventuring party. It’s a bit expensive considering what other comparably priced adventures do. Not bad, but short. 4.5/5
Summary– The first adventure of a season is always a contentious adventure. Push the envelope too much and people get a bit lost as new players. Don’t do enough and you end up with just four smaller adventures showing off factions. This strikes a decent balance, but in doing so it doesn’t take risks in terms of scope or being adventurous. It’s also a Paizo product and they put out well done, if expensive adventures. It works well, though it is a bit simple. 86%
Something I LOVE from Call of Cthulhu is if a target has to dodge multiple times in a turn, it gets harder and harder until its impossible. Let’s make this happen in Starfinder!

Grenade Punch(Combat)
