So we’ve finished creating Starfinder versions of all the Pf Core Rulebook feats that weren’t already in Starfinder, and we’re spending some time looking at things we may want to add to Starfinder, now that we’ve added such a huge load of feats.

And now it’s the solarian’s turn.

The solarian has a few really key class features that not only define the class, but define each solarian’s personal style and fighting techniques. Solar manifestation is absolutely one of those, but so are the stellar revelations each solarian selects to define how they operate in their two primary modes–graviton attuned and photon attuned.

However, solar manifestations and stellar revelations only rarely directly interact with each other. Having a huge batch of new combat abilities in the form of feats seems like a fine time to change that.

STELLAR REVELATIONS

You must be 2nd level or higher to choose these stellar revelations.

Fundamental Barrier (Ex): Your solar shield is energized by your attunement.

When you are graviton attuned or fully attuned, you gain Improved Shield Bash and Improved Unarmed Strike as bonus feats. You do not need to meet their prerequisites.

When you are photon attuned of fully attuned you gain Shield Focus and Greater Shield Focus as bonus feats. You do not need to meet their prerequisites.

You must have the solar shield manifestation to select this revelation.

Fundamental Defense (Ex): Your solar armor is energized by your attunement.

When you are graviton attuned or fully attuned, you gain Defensive Combat Training and Lightning Stance as bonus feats. You do not need to meet their prerequisites.

When you are photon attuned of fully attuned you gain the Dodge and Wind Stance as bonus feats. You do not need to meet their prerequisites.

You must have the solar armor manifestation to select this revelation.

Fundamental Flare (Ex): Your solar flare is energized by your attunement.

When you are graviton attuned or fully attuned, you gain Point-Blank Shot and Precise Shot as bonus feats you can only use with your solar flare. You do not need to meet their prerequisites.

When you are photon attuned of fully attuned you gain Pinpoint Targeting and Weapons Focus as bonus feats you can only use with your solar flare. You do not need to meet their prerequisites.

You must have the solar flare manifestation to select this revelation.

Fundamental Weapon (Ex): Your solar weapon is energized by your attunement.

When you are graviton attuned or fully attuned, you gain Agile Maneuvers and Combat Expertise as bonus feats you can only use with your solar weapon. You do not need to meet their prerequisites.

When you are photon attuned of fully attuned you gain Arcane Strike and Penetrating Strike as bonus feats you can only use with your solar weapon. You treat your solarian level as your caster level for Arcane Strike. You do not need to meet these feat’s prerequisites.

You must have the solar weapon manifestation to select this revelation.

So we’ve finished creating Starfinder versions of all the Pf Core Rulebook feats that weren’t already in Starfinder, and we’re spending some time looking at things we may want to add to Starfinder, now that we’ve added such a huge load of feats.

And now it’s the operative’s turn.

OPERATIVE SPECIALIZATION

Factotum

Even more than a typical operative, you attempt to be a master of every skill.

Associated Skill: Select any two skills as your associated skill. If one of those skills is a Dexterity or Charisma based skill, you can use that skill to make trick attacks if you normally could not.

Specialization Exploit: Procedural Memory.

Surety (Ex): You are supremely confident in your skills. At 11th level when you take 10 on a skill check, you receive a +2 circumstance bonus to the result.

OPERATIVE EXPLOIT

You must be 10th level to select this operative exploit.

Procedural Memory (Ex): You are capable of intentionally creating specific muscle memories and instinctive actions to assist in various tasks. This may be a specialized form of cybernetics, a meditative form of mind-over-matter, or the result of being the product of a superspy program.

You can take ten minutes to reset your procedural memory, gaining one of the following feats as a bonus feat: Acrobatics, Alertness, Ambush Awareness, Climbing Master, Deceitful, Deft Hands, Diversion, Improved Initiative, Persuasive, Self-Sufficient, Stealthy, Swimming Master. Once you have done this in a day, doing so again requires to to expend 1 Resolve Point for each previous time in the same day you have used this ability. Each time you use this ability, you lose any previous bonus feat you gained from procedural memory.

So we’ve finished creating Starfinder versions of all the Pf Core Rulebook feats that weren’t already in Starfinder, and we’re spending this week looking at things we may want to add to Starfinder, now that we’ve added such a huge load of feats.

With the mystic, we added a new channel energy alternate connection power, which allows any mystic to access the long list of channel feats we created. But we can go even farther, creating a whole channeler connection that has a slew pf powers that, rather than just hand out those feats, gives access to the concepts and powers we created for those feats (and works with those feats if the player wants to delve even deeper into channeling), and works on its own to introduce those concepts into a character concept without needing feats to do so.

Channeler Connection

You are linked to a mystic energy that flows through the planes. This energy is the medium through which holy and unholy effects flow, the divine and fiendish waveforms that can impact creatures of different kinds based on the frequency it is attuned to. You can access an increasing width of those frequencies, learning to manipulate the energy in more ways.

Associated Deities: Gods of energy, healing, light, science, and suns.
Associated Skills: Medicine and Physical Science.
Spells: 1st wisp ally, 2nd force blast, 3rd divine aspect, 4th enervation, 5th call cosmos, 6th control gravity.

Channeler Connection Special Powers

Channel Energy [1st Level] At 1st level you gain the channel energy alternate connection power.

Expanded Energy [3rd Level] At 3rd level you can select a 2nd choice of channel from the channel energy power. You can cause either effect when you channel energy, or can expend a mystic Spell slot of the highest level you can cast to create both effects at the same time.

Reserve Energy [6th level] At 6th level you can channel energy once without spending a Resolve Point to do so. Once you have used this ability, you cannot do so again until after you recover Stamina Points following a 10-minute rest.

Focus Energy (Su) [9th] Before you roll an attack roll, as part of the same action you can choose to expend your channel energy to add its effect to the attack as bonus damage that only applies to one type of foe you can harm with your channel energy. The damage applies to any appropriate foe hit by the attack. This does not apply to any attack that does not require an attack roll (though it does apply to area attacks that also require attack rolls, such as most grenades). Affected foes can attempt a Will save to reduce this bonus damage by half, at your usual connection power DC.

Greater Expanded Energy (Su) [12th Level] At 12th level you can select a 3rd choice of channel from the channel energy power. You can cause any of these three effects when you channel energy, or can expend a mystic Spell slot of the highest level you can cast to create all three effects at the same time.

Turning Energy (Su) [15th Level] When you use your channel energy to harm a type of creature, those creatures that fail their saving throw are also flat-footed, off-target, and staggered for a number of rounds equal to 1/3 your mystic level.

Ultimate Channel (Su) [18th Level] Each day when you regain your spells you may select once creature type or subtype. when you channel energy, you may choose to harm creatures of this type or subtype in addition to any other effect of your channel.

Enjoy this? Support It!
I was only able to pry away enough spare time to write up a whole mystic connection because of the support of my wonderful patrons! If you’d like to see more work like this, please consider supporting my Patreon for as little as the cost of a cup of coffee each month.
