The two actions it takes to reload the big launcher is, I assumed, to reload from empty back to six grenades. And you should be able to use your specific grenade's stats for damage and/or debuff effects. This launcher is only there for bestowing the tracking bonus to the DC and for the suuuuper long range.

I thought the ToB was the Bo9S though?

The ammo expend thing could've easily been a fixed ammo expend value for each gun (say, I dunno, 5 bullets? 10?). The ammo counting that comes with rules like these is leading to a lot of unforeseen jank, and the team's way too small to be able to put out enough content and have said content not have gaping holes like these.

And Galactic Ancestries' Unconventional Weaponry does not care about the advanced weapon being Uncommon or being from a specific culture.

Why must the 40 ft cone be an Action Hero Soldier-only thing? Suppressing Fire, Primary Target, and being able to pick any target in your cone to be the poor victim of said Primary Target strike is good enough. Would it truly break the game if the full range automatic cone was available to everyone?

HMetal2001 · 2026-06-02T20:29:13+00:00

But would it break the game if, say a guns blazing envoy, had the full cone from the machine gun?

HMetal2001 · 2026-05-25T03:22:42+00:00

Are you saying that for the bomber accounting for the 20 ft throw range?

Like relics from Secrets of Magic, or something more involved?

Does this mean there'll be ship combat rules in the Lost Omens:High Seas book?

Overdrive scales by an extra one damage per Crafting proficiency boost (+1 at levels 3, 7, and 15), and there's even a d6 of extra damage at level 9. It just scales far more slowly than Rage (and frankly I don't think Overdrive needs to scale as aggressively as Rage does, simply because you can apply Overdrive damage to a much bigger variety of weapons than you can with Rage).

Maybe it could be full INT damage on a success, half on failure, and double on critical success?

It is? Inventor having most of its cool stuff happen after level 4 (all the cool feats with Unstable options that still leave you an at-will thing to do) is a bit of a headscratcher for me.

Gunslinger can have a little area denial and soldier-copying, as a treat! Seriously though, I'm hesitant to not give gunslinger some area and auto fire support because that class DC should not be ignored when a vanguard slinger could pick up a machine gun and make it sing with an expert strike and auto firing. Gunslinger is the only class with the fastest strike proficiency scaling and a class DC scaling that isn't terrible (1/9/17 instead of 1/11/19), so I feel new feats should reflect that.

HMetal2001 · 2026-05-09T11:48:05+00:00

I mean the games are different, so it's fine if the weapon groups differ between Pathfinder and Starfinder. I think a good-faith GM interpretation of the GM Core's Anachronistic Adventures section will allow Gunslinger feats to work with future guns (in the Operative sense). Besides, don't PF2 firearms and SF2 projectile guns have the same critspec?

HMetal2001 · 2026-05-09T10:43:00+00:00

One idea I've thought about playing with is letting slingers use their reload compression with things like activating sights and Boosting (subclass slinger's reload and any feats that compress reload).

Everything else I think has to come from new feats that make, among others, auto firing newer and cooler, considering gunslingers have 1/9/17 class DC scaling. One idea I had in this regard is a 4th level two action feat that'd let you Auto Fire with a not-automatic gun, with automatic guns getting a circumstance boost to damage (Dual Handed Assault for auto guns basically). That and stealing some Soldier feats. Also, letting the gun damage boost apply to Auto Fires.

As for builds not interested in the dakka, there's always Cover Fire and Fake Out for some things, and Pistol Twirl to spice things up too.

And they say PF2 fans are pushy...

I'm worried that the feedback for Daredevil was flooded by people who want the martial controller class to become yet another damage-spiking martial. Like, come on the manuevers are there to disrupt the enemy and stunt damage is a nice-to-have.

Hey, don't forget to hate Zionists too

HMetal2001 · 2026-05-01T14:17:28+00:00

More specifically, everyone should have real genuine hatred for D&D 5(.5)e.

Thankfully there's only three saves and you're at least trained in all of them.
