Core Mechanic
d20 + modifier vs. DC. Three-action economy per turn. Four degrees of success. Cross-compatible with Pathfinder 2e.
Best For
Sci-fi fans who want Pathfinder 2e's tactical depth with plasma rifles and starships. Great for PF2e veterans looking for cross-compatible space adventure.
Highlights
Free rules on Archives of Nethys, deep tactical combat, cross-compatible with PF2e, distinct class identity
Considerations
Steep learning curve, fewer classes and options than PF2e (still growing), tactical starship combat rules deferred to a future supplement with current rules being narrative only
