Starfinder

Classes in Starfinder Second Edition are a core component of the game experience, and one that needs dedicated testing in order to get right. Each class is an expression of a different playstyle that fits into the science-fantasy themes of Starfinder, but they can also provide new options for players in Pathfinder campaigns thanks to the shared rules system between the games.

CLASSES

There are as many species in Starfinder as there are stars in the sky. This section details a wide variety of new and updated ancestries that are prevalent in the Starfinder setting. It also provides details on the use of languages in Starfinder, from within the core of the Pact Worlds to countless planets beyond!

ANCESTRIES

Some heritages, known as versatile heritages, can be applied to any ancestry; for instance, creatures touched by the influence of the Drift can be born to any ancestry as prismeni. Generally, versatile heritages represent heritage options available to all ancestries for extra customization, such as a character who has a mixed ancestry or one with a more unique or otherwise unusual origin.
