Starfinder
Starfinder is an upcoming RPG by Paizo Publishing set to be released in Augist 2017. It is going to be a future version of Pathfinder set IN SPACE. Not a lot is known thus far, but we do know this:
- There's gonna be ratmen IN SPACE, meaning that Paizo has Skaven IN SPACE before GW has in a playable form.
- There are going to be hardcover books and a Starfinder Adventure Path, much like Pathfinder has.
- Can be easily integrated with regular Pathfinder, and presumably the D20 system as well.
- Core classes:
- Technomancers: the magical version of computer programmers, hacking the laws of physics.
- Operatives: use stealth and skill to get in and out of dangerous situations.
- Soldiers: specialize in heavy weapons and armor.
- Mystics: channel the universe's mysterious energies, often through faith in a god.
- Solarians: shape the energy of stars and black holes into armor and weapons for themselves. (Jedi with the serial codes filed off.)
- Envoys: use wit and charm to bolster their allies and demoralize or befuddle enemies.
- Mechanics: build their own custom drones or rely on an implanted AI to aid them in combat.
- Core Races: Like 2/3rds of these are already availible as PC races for Pathfinder. How and if they'll be changed is unknown.
- Lashuntas: a race of telepaths.
- Androids: artificial people.
- Vesk: powerful reptilian aliens.
- Shirrens: insectile people who recently broke free from a predatory hive mind.
- Kasathas: four-armed aliens from a desert world.
- Ysoki: A plucky and hotheaded race, often called "ratfolk".
- Humas: Everybody knows humans.
