OK he took the Android exploit Armor, for 5 SOAK. From Marine Tour career, he took Battle Scars, which is a natural SOAK bonus of 2. Specifically says bonus (bonuses stack) but doesn't have the "+" callout (which is supposed to indicate a stackable bonus). From Street Thug career, he took...

Thanks Morrus! I did look at the SOAK stacking rules in the errata. I'll double check the bonuses he found and make sure they stack correctly.

This is the first time I've run a non-D&D game. I'm having a tricky time with some GMing stuff. The crew was hired by an anonymous "benefactor" and is performing missions for him. He gave them a basic ship, which is largely used for transport (I'm focusing on away-team action more than ship...

There are references to the Perception skill, and it has a place on the NEW character sheet. But the NEW core rulebook has no rules for calculating Perception in the Derived Statistics chapter, nor is it in the index.

Thanks Morrus!

In the NEW pdf, on page 114, it says "one dose of a drug can be created by performing a major chemistry science" no period. This doesn't seem like it can be the entirety of the rule. It doesn't seem complete to me. So I assume the sentence got cut off? I checked the errata, and I didn't see...

UPDATE: I found an awesome program. It's a universe simulation called Space Engine. You can google and download it, it's free. It's amazing to zoom around in. It's populated all the real data we have available, and the rest of the universe is filled in procedurally. Once you figure out how to...

I might need a lot of feedback here. I'm unfamiliar with the system, and I haven't bought the ship construction guide yet, so some terminology might be off. Rules for Hyperlane Travel Hyperlane travel is a unique form of faster-than-light drive. The systems connected by hyperlanes can be...

Original thread was lost. Found a cached version, reposting with an update. Hi. I've been away from ENworld for some time. But I thought I'd pop back in to share some notes I'm making for my upcoming NEW campaign. This is my first time running a sci-fi game. The rules seem fairly...

Paying my respects. I had many exchanges with Edena on various forums, and I am greatly saddened by his passing. During one of the hurricanes in Florida, years ago, he was desperate for some medicine that his dog needed. Or maybe it was in the aftermath, and the vet was closed, I don't remember...

Got an update email from Amazon. Apparently they can't ship the order until December 21, almost 2 months after I placed the order for an item they listed as "in-stock." Ah well. I hope nobody was expecting this book in time for Christmas... I might just see if my FLGS has a copy, and cancel...

Greetings! Haven't posted on ENworld for quite some time... but a buddy of mine turned me on to Pathfinder, and brought over his Core Rulebook. We all liked it, and I went and ordered mine right away... So needless to say I'm in the same boat as all of you. I ordered from Amazon, and apparently...

I have received news that this is not, in fact, an elaborate joke. The interesting thing is I didn't THINK I had inside connections. But, apparently, I do.

Loki is proud either way. So are Eris and Coyote. Reading this thread is honestly the most fun I've had on ENworld in YEARS! Though my bull(expletive deleted)-meter is going way off the scale, and I'm 99% sure this is some sort of (expletive deleted)ed-up prank, It's still as entertaining as...

By this point, virtually all "general ideas" are cliched. So it becomes an exercise in picking which cliche you mind the least. :) I'm going for "The great Empire collapsed a thousand years ago, and civilization is only now starting to rise from the ashes." I like this cliche because it...
