Show Notes
In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we preview the Starfinder second edition playtest and the promise of the Starfinder setting. We also discuss the interactive nature of the playtest and the opportunity for players to shape the game before the release of Starfinder 2.
We break down the different races and classes in Starfinder 2e and describe the Skittermander race, which is like Stitch with six arms, and the VESC, which are lizard men in space. We discuss the Soki, which are rap folk, and the Borai and Prismeni heritages. We dig into the different classes, including the Envoy, which is like a warlord and bard, the Mystic, which is the healer class, the Operative, which is like a rogue but better, the Solarian, which is like a Starfinder Jedi, and the Technomancer, which will be added in the February playtest. We highlight the unique features and abilities of each class.
We follow up with a discussion on the classes in Starfinder and our experiences playing them. We touch on the Solarian, Soldier, Witch Warper, and Operative classes, highlighting their unique abilities and mechanics. We discuss the action economy and balance of the classes, as well as the equipment and skills in the game. Overall, We’re excited about the game and its potential, but feel some areas may need adjustment.
