Back to the Future- Compass piece

[wrathgon]

PL 1 for all normal citizens.

PL 2 for government (local, regional, planetary, etc.)

PL 3 for nobles.

PL 4 for starship operations, including incredibly crude and bulky spacesuits and rocket packs for repair crews.

 

     The setting consists of two star systems, Sol (Earth) and Proxima, along with the intervening space. Despite being a scifi setting officially, normal Pathfinder skills and classes work better as almost everything is medieval.

     Starfinder can be used for the ships themselves. Use base ship types of two size classes higher than expected (ie., use Destroyer for Shuttle, etc.). Always use the Colony Ship framework and add expansion bays to grow food, raise families, etc. First listed armour, worst engines, best power core, worst sensors; no computer/shields/drift engine/defensive countermeasures. Ships will have a single Flak Thrower for each direction, and military ship will have a turreted Nuclear Missile launcher of the largest type possible.

     The one exception to the PLs above is the power source. The power sources are PL 10 and require massive organization to build. They are built under the direction of the gods and are built in the form of shrines to said gods. These power sources draw their power from the end of time and can also be used by the gods for teleportation (since their own teleportation is impeded; see below).

     People live on Tier 20 Supercolossal ships with the Space Station framework and the largest Orbital Death Knell. The flagship of the empire is 1,000 times the size of the Death Star and its tier is too high to contemplate. These ships are hollow and large enough to have oceans, weather systems, mountain chains, etc along their inside circumference.

     Domestic animals are reserved for nobles, though the ships are big enough that they have jungles with wild animals and the like. There are even wild people still living in the jungles and mountains!

     Everything is ruled by the Emperor, who is possessed by an Incan god. All the technology is created by someone else possessed by a god. In fact, all the gods hold day jobs, possessing one mortal until they die and then finding someone new, which usually involves a massive ceremony and selection process. The government is basically an effective Lawful Evil communist empire, where all citizens have their basic needs met, but laws are strict, you’re expected to contribute without question, and any invention not from the gods is ignored and discredited. This is why technological improvement has been so slow over the millenia.

     The pantheon is strictly Incan, though some remnants of other Earth religions persist as demipowers (including Jesus!). None of these other demipowers has any real influence or power. The Incan pantheon has about 100 gods, though only a few are particularly influential. All Incan gods use Possess Mortal and none of them are Good-aligned.

     This is a full-magic, full-technology setting, though both are seriously limited. Magic is limited by the entire setting being encompassed by a planar trait equivalent of an antimagic field. So while there are clerics and wizards, no one can actually cast spells or create magic items. Technology is limited because the gods don’t let anyone invent anything, and only one of the gods has figured out PL 4.

   Gods of Note:

Inti, Incan greater god and pantheon leader, lawful evil, god of the sun and the Emperor.

Viracocha, Incan greater god of the city-ships, the only one who understands PL 4 technology.

Illapa, Incan greater god of the sky and thunder.

Ataguchu, Incan intermediate god of creation.

Vichama, Incan lesser god of revenge, death, and war. An atropal son of Inti who helped create humanity who we met and ad dinner "With"

Ch’aska, avatar of Illapa, Incan god of the day and good (despite not being good themselves).

Jesus, demipower of Lawful Good Christendom.

Axomamma, Incan demipower of potatoes.

Mama Koka, Incan demipower of the coca plant and cocaine.

we need to extract one of the power source from one of the city ships.

 

So we need to either destroy the ship ( will need a fleet of ship weapons are not the problem its just has ALOT of hit points) or find a way to cut it out of the ship no idea how we do that but that's an option I guess. Both will cause death on a massive scale to those on that ship. As each has the population of a large city.

 

Also have to remember any plan of war or death or fighting the gods will KNOW about the event 1 year in advance to plan for the event. That is what THeo tells and is called portfolio sense. Now the gods of war and death won't necessarily STOP what is going on, they WANT WAR AND DEATH. so they might do things to make it last longer, or bigger at the same time make sure we lose :)

This is something to work on in the future as has no connection to what the party is doing right now on the planet and in the SIM.
