An Endzeitgeist.com part of the the Set-review
This section is penned by Justin Andrew Mason.
The race herein would be the Sideribus Volunt, Medium humanoids descendent from Aventyr’s humans. They have managed to extend their lifespans greatly and adapted to life among the stars, gaining a +2 racial bonus to Piloting checks to navigate or astrogate. They get two bonus languages, low-light vision and immunity to radiation, but reduce their speed to 25 feet in normal gravity. They get 4 HP and deviate from Starfinder race conventions in that they get +3 Int, +1 Con, -1 Str. Uneven modifiers engender minmaxing as much as in previous d20-based games. Not a fan. They get 4 hp. Weird: The write-up, per se interesting, mentions that they are tactile empaths with their own race, but fails to specify how exactly that’s supposed to work, rules-wise. We do not get a “Playing a Sideribus Volunt”-section in the write-up. They get a decent b/w-artwork that looks pretty fantasy-ish.
Verdict: Not a fan. The race has a nice idea, but fails to capitalize on it, ending up bland. Rules-wise not impressive. 2.5 stars, rounded down.
Endzeitgeist out.
