    Good delivery, good energy. Nice to see more starfinder coverage.
    I think at 6:40 you mean damage dice are determined by your weapon but i make mistakes like this lots. Good job

    Good stuff.
    Makes sense that John has his own channel. I thought he seemed pretty well spoken on this stuff in front of a camera. Well enough to hold my attention and keeping me from spacing out from information overload. Lol

      Glad to hear that. I’m not a natural speaker so the RUclips channel was a chance to work on my vocal skills. Less than a year old but I feel I’ve gotten better

    Nice! Loving the new content! And I'm super interested in getting into Starfinder. I love D&D and it's great. But I'm also a huge scifi fan. I could have alot of fun here.

    Starfinder and Pathfinder actually give Martial classes more options in and out of combat than 5e did. It took me awhile to figure that out. If anything Pathinder and Starfinder is actually better.

    I haven't had a chance to play much Starfinder myself, but I'm a huge fan of the setting they made with it. Personally, I purchased the PDF versions of the CRB and other main book for $10 each, which I find to be a good value.

      @@patient_6925Not as much as I’d like, though only a few sections are the actual rules. Much of the front of the book is character creation and then equipment. Later on is setting lore.

      It’s a fantastic setting that accommodates a lot of potential. It makes D&D feel shallow by comparison

      Well Paizo is good at hiding their wokeness in their books. It's usually their PR that's woke. Yet it does bleed into the books sometimes from what I've heard.

    6:40 wtf is he talking about? Hit dice arent determined by items or their levels. Item hit dice for the purposes of breaking are based on item levels. Player hit dice are not determined by items

    • @elecwiz171
      @elecwiz171 2 года назад +1

      Well, he meant the damage dealt by your attacks. The term Hit Dice as measurement of power level is not used in Starfinder, but common in DnD 3rd+ and Pathfinder 1st. The term damage dice would be more fitting, I think.

      @@patient_6925 Got the pages? I can only find hit dice mentioned in the conversion rules for pathfinder 1E: "any monster abilities that require to know a target's Hit Dice operate using the target's level or CR instead." Seems to me, the HD-concept went completely overboard in favor of fixed Hit Points and Level/CR.

      Appreciate the feedback! We are feeling out how sensitive/stringent the woke score should be as we go so the feedback definitely helps us gauge how well we are walking that line between calling out culture war aggression in our favorite games and being alarmists over small things. So certainly keep letting us know what we miss and how egregious it was for you !
