Denizens of Foundry Station; SocBorg

 Adapted from Starfinder 2e Playtest


The Pathfinder 2e Gamemastery Guide is among the most useful resources I have in my collection. A large portion of the guide is given over for NPC Statblocks. What you will find below is a conversion of the commoner NPC to fit in a Starfinder 2e Stellar Marches Campaign. For this NPC, I applied a Ployglot Android to the Commoner template. I have changed out their gear to fit a science fantasy setting. 

Cross-cultural interactions are fairly common among space-based societies. The risks of debilitating social missteps and catastrophic linguistic misunderstanding can be considered very seriously. Technological innovations can help to smooth these risks over, but raw translation tools miss many of the subtleties of language and social interactions. Mediators/Translators form a professional field to meet the needs of interstellar companies, governments, and organizations.

Plant Rumors. SocBorgs can seed otherwise mundane conversations to subtly damage another person’s reputation and make their argument less compelling.

These insidious barbs can temporarily nudge a WIll DC +2 or - 2


Power of the Mob When three or more commoners are adjacent to each other, each commoner gets a +1 circumstance bonus for athletic checks for shove, attack rolls, and damage rolls.
