Starfinder is getting an upgrade in October with a huge expansion. In Starfinder Enhanced bold new options come to Paizo’s sci-fi world.

Paizo was never a company to rest on its laurels. After releasing Pathfinder, the company kept looking for ways to improve the game. We saw books like the Advanced Player’s Guide and the Ultimate books. And about a decade ago, right around the time 5E was released, so too did a big overhaul for Pathfinder in Pathfinder Unchained.

The book brought new ways to play old familiar classes. It wasn’t a new edition, per se, but it contained all new ideas to expand even the core classes and rules systems of the game in ways that were a breath of fresh air for players looking to play around with more options. Which, for Pathfinder, was everyone.

Now, Starfinder is getting the same treatment. Starfinder Enhanced isn’t a new edition of the game. But this book will expand the way you play Starfinder. And if you, like many others, are just dipping your toe into the Paizo pool, then this will provide even more options when exploring their science-fiction/fantasy RPG.

Starfinder, as the name suggests, is a game much like Pathfinder but in space. Noble solarians do battle with technomancers and witchwarpers. All of these get new versions in the expansion. There’s a lot to dig into, so let’s take a look!

Starfinder Enhanced – Coming October 2023

Enhance your Starfinder experience with this invaluable game resource covering all aspects of the Starfinder rules!

From totally revised fundamentals like core classes and starship combat to brand-new systems for expanding the way you play, this 192-page hardcover rules resource offers fresh ideas while still blending with the existing system. With Starfinder Enhanced at hand, you’ll be ready for the countless challenges of infinite space!

Starfinder Enhanced includes:

  • New versions of the envoy, solarian, technomancer, and witchwarper classes, all revised to make them more balanced and easier to play.
  • New class features and character options for every Starfinder class published to date!
  • New archetypes, spells, equipment, and over 90 new feats. Truly build the character you want!
  • Rules for scalable equipment, so you never have to trade-in your trusty sidearm ever again.
  • New subsystems for narrative starship combat, expanded creature companions, and new chances to spend Resolve Points for every character!
  • 12 playable species including fan favorites and entirely new options, from the shapeshifting kitsune to the tiny novians born from dying suns!

The last time we saw a book like this, a few years later, Pathfinder 2nd Edition came out. Does that mean Starfinder is getting a new edition? Well, it’s much too early! This book isn’t even out yet. But we’re very excited to see what new wrinkles this brings to the Starfinder equation.

Happy space adventuring!
