Über dieses Spiel

Gather a crew of expert spacefarers with a diverse set of origins and skills, get a ship, and fly the stars! Starfinder is a tabletop roleplaying game of heroic science-fantasy adventure. Players take on the roles of fantasy creatures familiar or alien, and adopt one of over a dozen character classes with various skills and powers, from the battle-hardened Soldier and savvy Mechanic, to the space-wizard Mystic and stellar-powered Solarian! One player, the Game Master (GM) plays as the rest of the vast universe, including the player characters’ allies and opposition, and presents scenarios and obstacles for them to overcome. Starfinder takes place in the far future of Golarion, the fantasy setting of its predecessor and spiritual sibling Pathfinder 1st Edition. The rules of Pathfinder and Starfinder are compatible—characters can easily convert from one to the other! Magic and advanced technology coexist in the setting, allowing for space wizards, psychic starship pilots, and elite warriors to share the same crew quarters. Starfinder adds exciting new rules for interstellar travel and starship combat in addition to a bevy of high-tech gear, space magic spells, and character options to an already packed system!

How to Play Starfinder

Starfinder’s core mechanic is rolling a 20-sided die, adding any bonuses or modifiers from a character’s skills, and comparing the result to a target number set by the game master to determine if a given action succeeds or fails. A character’s abilities come from a combination of their ancestry, class, attributes, and training, all of which players can fully customize from a sprawling selection of options. Starfinder also contains robust rules for fighting monsters and other adversaries, shipbuilding, ship combat, spacefaring adventure, and landing planetside to explore alien locales.

In combat, each character gets a turn where they can move, take one standard action, and one swift action. Attacking uses the core mechanic, but the target number is the opponent's armor class, or AC, which may differ between "kinetic" and "energy" attacks. Characters also get reactive "saving throws" to avoid danger from hazards and spells. Starfinder also introduces rules for space battles and ship to ship combat that allow each member of a starship's crew to take actions to lead their ship to victory!

Rolling to employ your character's skills uses the core mechanic and is the main way of engaging with noncombat challenges in the game. You might also use high-tech gear or cast magic spells to help solve problems, each of which is detailed and unique in the game's rules. Each member of the crew will have different talents and abilities, which you can combine to overcome challenges in unique and creative ways!

Classes

Biohacker

Do you know that humans don’t use their full brain capacity? Even if Limitless logic doesn’t pan out in the real world, the Biohacker class lets you live that dream. Boost your own skills through experimentation and develop injections to strengthen your allies.

Envoy

Take on a little of that Han Solo energy by making it up as you go along. The Envoy distracts enemies and pep talks allies in turn. Pick this class if you want to be the biggest help outside of combat.

Mechanic

A tech wizard is indispensable in a sci-fi setting, and you’ll enjoy all the perks of that as a Starfinder Mechanic. Technology is your friend in combat, and you can even make a drone to fight by your side. Outside of battle, you’re great at repairs and a computer expert.

Mystic

Classic fantasy magic is very much a thing in Stafinder, and the Mystic gives you command over it. Depending on what type of magic origin you choose, you can manipulate social encounters, be a life-saving healer, or destroy foes with raw power.

Nanocyte

Your control of nanobots allows you to determine your path with this versatile class. In combat they can crowd enemies with sheer numbers and shield you from harm. They can also play a more supportive role by enhancing your form or healing allies.

Operative

Why rely on technology or magic when you can just beat your enemies repeatedly? Operatives specialize in dealing huge damage and can attack multiple times in a single go. You can also kit them out with maneuvers that add to your bag of tricks.

Precog

With the ability to affect time in small ways, you can alter dice rolls to save allies or doom enemies. It’s a really cool way to flavor a protection-based support class. But you’re not totally helpless on your own, as Precogs do have weapon skills.

Solarian

Wield the foundational forces of the cosmos as weapons by playing the Starfinder Solarian. You can create your own weapons or armor from cosmic energy or affect gravity. Other abilities allow you to tap into light and electricity to harm your foes.

Soldier

A basic class but a solid one. The Soldier obviously specializes in combat by giving you multiple weapons and abilities tied to damage dealing. However, you also have plenty of room to pick feats to enhance your stealth, social, or navigation skills.

Technomancer

In a world where there’s magic and sci-fi tech, why not use both? The Technomancer has plenty of spells that cause damage, but can also use their magic to summon weapons and hack machinery.

Vanguard

As the name implies, the Starfinder Vanguard puts you right at the front lines of combat. Being a melee combatant in a world of guns and magic might seem risky, but you can use abilities that both protect you and devastate your enemies.

Witchwarper

Connect with the multiverse to change outcomes in your own world. This reality-altering power gives you the means to reshape the battlefield. You can stop enemies from unleashing their most deadly powers or create advantages for your team.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What is Starfinder?

Starfinder is a science-fantasy tabletop roleplaying game of starships and space magic based on the rules of Pathfinder 1st Edition. Players take on the role of fantastical adventurers to sail the stars, take on jobs, fight monsters, and explore alien planets.

What supplies do I need to play Starfinder?

Obviously this will vary from table to table, but here are some good places to start! If your game is played in person, most likely you will want to get a set of dice, something to write with, and paper to take notes. If your game is hosted online instead, you will probably need to make accounts on a few sites for things like character sheets, access to the Virtual Tabletop for maps and tokens, and sites like Discord or Zoom for video/voice calls during the session. You won't always need to have the rulebooks to start, but if you want to read through them to make sure you know all the rules, this might also be a good option.

Do I need to know all the rules before I can play Starfinder?

Knowing every rule of the game may be helpful to some, but many players will learn the game as they play! If you want to read the rules ahead of time you absolutely can, but if you are a hands-on learner you can also just start playing, and if there is something you don’t understand never be afraid to ask questions, because everyone starts somewhere!

Do I need to be good at math to play Starfinder?

While Starfinder will involve some level of basic math, particularly if you are totaling up dice rolls or skill modifiers on your character sheet, you don’t need to be a mathematician to enjoy the game. The books provide tables and simple tools to make the math as simple as possible, and if you are playing online, many Virtual Table Tops will take care of all the math for you, right on your character sheet, so you can focus on playing!

How do I create a Starfinder character?

A Starfinder character is a combination of a species, which might be a human, an alien being or a fantasy creature like an elf or dwarf; a class, an archetype like the hardy Soldier, space wizard Mystic, or stellar-powered Solarian; and a character concept detailing their personality and backstory. Players assign values to their character’s core attributes and ranks to their skills to shape what they specialize in, and choose abilities and gear to complement them. Starfinder and other games from its publisher, Paizo, are famous for the degree of character customization available to players.

What dice does Starfinder use?

Most dice rolls in Starfinder use a single 20-sided die, though the system uses a full set of standard polyhedral dice, including a d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d%. A set for each player is recommended, but you can always share!
