I may be the weird one out, but I'm choosing to play one in my group's upcoming game not because of mechanics. But, their outlook. Their story. It all matches so well with my chosen class (Star Shaman Mystic). Really, even though I'm acutely terrible at role-playing my characters in conversations and dialogue, (basically, I'm too shy to speak up a lot of times), I still like to have an interesting character in my head when making decisions for that character. And this just looks awesome for that.

I tend to go towards quirky oddball races. Shirren might just fit the groove nicely. I mean how can you not love the adorable cockroach faced guy in the corner, clicking his mandibles and telling you about the wonders of Phrasma?

At first when I got my character keskodai or whatever his name is I thought . " I'm some ugly bug great " , but these bug guys have an overpowered thing called communalism meaning they get to roll twice and take the better roll once per day. It saved me on many occasions when we where stranded on a planet making tents repeatedly for survival on a stormy planet with nearly nonstop bad weather.

I wasn't opposed to starship trooper bugs. But I am surprised I'm actually leaning towards playing them as my first race. They seem really fun! Hence me finding this video.

I've gotten into running 4 Starfinder games a week, and I have to say that the Shirren are my personal favorite races when I can play. Of course, the Character Operations Manual (2019 release) adds a LOT to races, classes, and themes. I'd love to see future videos involved the newer books, especially given they still have new books coming! Galactic Magic next month!

Just started playing a shirren Envoy (outlaw theme). I thought the combination might be a challenge, but the first session turned out quite well. Roleplaying an intimidation sequence was a lot of fun (playing off the appearance aspect of the race), and the very social emphasis for the character is a big departure for me in an action-oriented game. Thanks for your advice in this video series, I think it helped me build a more effective character than I probably would have otherwise.

How did the shirren envoy go with the -2 charisma? Did you enjoy it or it work well?
@fredbehrendt90743 жыл бұрын
We're on hiatus -- I think I eventually boosted his charisma to 24 or so with ability gems. And he switched classes after dying -- long story. All in all not the most effective character I've played. But interesting. . .

I think that communalism is not a reroll. It seems to me that you would decide, before rolling, that you want to roll twice and take the best result. Like a luck domain ability in Pathfinder. And thanks for all the videos, this is great!

I have a question. Under the naming section on Shirren, they mention that they prefer to speak using telepathy and reserve mandible speech to formal events. For some reason my brain is making me think that means they can't physically speak other languages well out loud. Do you think this is true? This coupled with the minor telepathy feat being nearly impossible to use on more than one person at once could make it difficult to talk to groups of people effectively. I'm trying to make a Shirren Envoy, so I wanted to get other opinions on this.
@PacifistRun7 жыл бұрын
Not at all! Shirren have their "soul names" which are complex thoughts and feelings that are communicated telepathically and they have "speech names" which are names they go by to communicate with other species. They also revel in being given nicknames and honorifics. I took my Shirren to the logical extreme and gave them a ton of names and titles to emphasize their love of choice in their name constantly changing and evolving like their soul name would.

I get in a scandal for carrying my shopping with my mating arms and itbeing snapped by the papparazi; its all over the holonet so I'm hiding out from the limelight. Should be fun .
