Ring Side Report- RPG Review of Starfinder Society Intro: Year of Fortune’s Fall

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Product– Starfinder Society Intro: Year of Fortune’s Fall

System- Starfinder

Producer– Paizo

Price– $6 here https://paizo.com/products/btq02eg2?Starfinder-Society-Intro-Year-of-Fortunes-Fall  

TL; DR-Welcome to the sixth season! 90%

Basics– LET’S GO TO THE… museum?  The Starfinder society is partnering with many different groups to show off artifacts of the past.  What wonders will be shown, what friends will be made, and who might want to mess with this display?  

Mechanics or Crunch– Paizo has a solid adventure here, with a decent balance of talking and combat.  The flow is mostly talking for the first half and then combat for the second.  There are a lot of NPCs to sway, so combat might get a little bit left to the side as its really only two fights.  That said, it’s done well.  4.5/5

Theme or Fluff–  This is a one building adventure.  You really only spend time in one museum for the entire adventure, schmoozing with different people learning about things that  will happen later in the season’s adventures.  That is pretty standard for the first adventure in a Starfinder Society season.  My one issue is the adventure is pretty short.  Most of the time I run this it’s less than three hours for a five hour session.  The players have fun and the story is decent.  Overall, its a good addition to the first adventures of each season. 4.5/5

Execution– PDF? Yep.  Hyperlinked?  Yep. Solid Art?  Yep.  Good layout? Yep!  This is what I expect from a Paizo adventure.  Things are not perfect, as they give good pictures for everything except for one enemy type, so you will need your own picture.  It’s not bad by any means, but it’s one small thing.   4.5/5

Summary– This is a fun adventure.  It’s short and a little unbalanced in story tempo if you are a combat monster, but overall it’s a good one.  I had fun, and so did my players.  It’s not perfect, but definitely one that I will be gladly running for multiple groups this year!  90%

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Let’s store a spell in a friendship bracelet!

Spell Storing Jewelry

This normal looking jewelry looks like any other basic store piece but it’s also built continuing a custom magic matrix that holds a single spell. As a swift action, you can cast the spell using any attacks, feats, and saves of the caster. The jewelry does not come with a spell in it but any spell may be cast into the jewelry. Once the spell is cast the jewelry degrades and falls apart

Daily Punch 5-22-23 Trigger Spell for Starfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I want to cast a spell and have it go off later!

 Trigger Spell
Classes Mystic 1-6
School Divination
Casting Time 1 standard action or varies
Range touch
Targets one living creature or item creature is holding
Duration varies
Saving Throw Will half (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
Description With the authority of all magic behind you, you proclaim to be cast in the future specifying a trigger. Choose a spell that is cast as this spell is cast and a trigger for the spell. If the other spell is longer than one action, the casting time of this spell changes to that spell’s plus one action. The other spell is cast or must be cast at the time of casting trigger spell. That other cast spell will be case whenever the trigger occurs. If that spell would occur and prevent an event from occurring like a mystic cure preventing a target from reaching zero hit points, that the creature never hit zero hit points. If cast on a weapon and that weapon strikes a target then any spell with a target of creature touched would count as touched. If a spell requires an attack roll or a save and the trigger was not striking a target, then the spell would use your current ranged attack roll or save DC values. You can only have one trigger spell active on you or your carried gear at a time.
The duration of the spell depends on the level you it as.
1st: 1 hour
2nd: 1 day
3rd: 1 week
4th: 1 month
5th: 1 year
6th: until triggered

Daily Punch 5-19-23 Cryo ammunition for Starfinder

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

if we can be hot, why not cold?

Cryo


Cryo ammo is used with projectile weapons and is available for most projectile weapons and other weapons that fire arrows and darts, as noted on Table 1–8. A weapon firing cryo ammo deals its normal amount of damage, but half of this damage is cold damage and grants the weapon the bleed critical hit effect depending on the weapon. If the weapon already has a critical hit effect, the bleed critical hit effect is added and considered part of the weapon’s normal critical hit effect. If the weapon normally already has the bleed critical hit effect, it instead gains the bind critical hit effect in addition to bleed, and this considered part of the weapon’s normal critical hit effect.
