Please keep in mind the Starfinder system identifier changed with Starfinder system version v0.3 from 'starfinder' to 'sfrpg'. If you have a world older than this version, you will have to update your world.json file to reflect this, or your world will not load.


The Starfinder FoundryVTT system works similarly to most of the other systems available on FoundryVTT, so if you have experience with FoundryVTT overall, you should have little difficulty using the Starfinder system. There are a few notable differences in the implementation details, either because of the way the system dictates things should function, or because of quality of life changes that have been integrated.


Skills in Starfinder are more dynamic than they are in D&D 5e. Skills can have skill ranks and other miscellaneous modifiers applied to them. To view more detailed information on skills you can right click on the skill name. This will bring up an edit dialog where you can edit properties. You can also have multiple profession skills, all tied to different specialities or fields of study. You can add new ones by clicking the "Add Profession" button at the bottom of the skills panel. This will bring up a similar dialog where you can specify the linked ability, the number of ranks in the skill, any miscellaneous modifiers that might apply, and the name of the profession or specialty.


Because ability score increases in Starfinder work a little differently than other systems, there is an ASI item you can add to your character where you select the ability scores to increase. This properly automates on the character sheet in the right order of operations, meaning that personal upgrades or ability score penalties, damages, and drains do not affect your ASI gains. The base ability score box on the player character sheet should include your original, level 1, original, rolled/point-bought/stat-array'ed score, before Race and Theme bonuses are applied.


The inventory in Starfinder has a few quality of life features. If you right-click a stack of items it will split the stack in half. If you drop identical items on top of each other, the stacks will merge. If you hold down the shift key when dropping an item, the game will ask you how many of the item you wish to drop. If you drag and drop an item onto another item that can contain it, such as an armor upgrade on an armor, the armor upgrade will be nested under the container.


Combat in Starfinder can vary from regular, character to character combat, but it also includes vehicle chases and starship combat. To accommodate this, there is a combat type selector underneath your combat encounter when you create it, allowing you to switch combat types.


Instead of the Active Effects, as introduced in FoundryVTT v0.7, Starfinder uses what is called Modifiers, which was built before FoundryVTT introduced Active Effects. The Modifiers system works similarly, in that you can specify attributes to modify, along with the amount to modify it by. These amounts can be numbers, but also formulas, so for example, "2", "1d6", and @details.level.value are all valid values. Finally, you can set a modifier type to be either "constant" or "roll formula". A constant modifier is always active as long as the modifier is enabled, a roll formula will show up on the appropriate roll made, allowing the player to choose what modifiers affect them at that point.


If you have any issues or concerns, please don't hesitate to open an issue on the tracker -starfinder/foundryvtt-starfinder/issues or reach out to me on the Foundry discord server in the #starfinder channel.

The StarFinder algorithm has been provided with a collectionof auxiliary routines for semi-automatic PSF extraction, noiseestimation, basic image processing, in order to be able to fullyanalyze a stellar field and produce an output list of stars.


A widget-based Graphical User Interface has been created,which allows one to use StarFinder without knowing IDL. The mainwidget which appears on the screen is nothing more than aninterface to call different widget-based applications, in orderto perform various operations on the stellar field image. Themain widget defines a memory area to store some 'global'variables, whose name and meaning is listed below:


When the field is very crowded, the first estimate of the PSFmight not be satisfactory. Visual inspection of the retrieved PSFand of the synthetic stellar field model after stars detection(see the 'Display' pull-down menu for this) shouldenable the user to understand it: abrupt intensity changes at theedge of the PSF support suggest that the analysis should berepeated. In these cases it is possible to repeat automaticallythe PSF extraction procedure, by means of the 'Repeatextraction' task in the 'PSF' pull-downmenu; after PSF refinement and post-processing, as describedabove, the stars detection algorithm should be run again. Whenthe analysis is iterated this way, the result of the firstreduction should be rejected, its only goal being to properlysubtract the contaminating sources and the diffuse backgroundemission to improve the PSF estimate. After analyzing differentobservations (e.g. at different wavelengths) of the same field,it is possible to compare the results and create acolor-magnitude diagram with the 'Compare Lists'task. Complete documentation on supported facilities andoperations can be found in the on-line help.


StarFinder needs no particular installation procedure. StarFinder requires IDL version 5.2 or higher. Onlythe path of the StarFinder directory must be correctly set, bymodifying the value of the IDL system variable !Path. This can bedone very easily within the IDLDE environment, by means of the'Preferences' sub-menu in the'File' menu. Once the IDL session is open and thepath for the StarFinder library is set, it is sufficient to enterthe following at the IDL command line:
