Ambassadors, Diplomats, Dignitaries, Consultants, Legits, Emissaries, etc... can all fall under the title of an Envoy. With a natural talent for dealing with disputes as small as individuals and as massive as whole nations or civilizations. Ambassador's are desired across the galaxy. Armed with a heightened awareness of local politics, and a wide range of ideologies and philosophies the Ambassador strives to find compromise to avoid an otherwise unsightly confrontation both for herself and for others. The Ambassador will attempt all this without compromising their own integrity or betraying the trust placed in them as representatives of factions, nations, worlds, whole civilizations.

An Ambassador chooses a faction, nation or some other type of recognized group to swear allegiance too. As long as that Ambassador does not fail to represent her faction then she is entitled to privileges beyond the rights of ordinary citizens.

Envoy's Class Features

Plenipotentiary Privileges

Starting at 1st level, if the Envoy is arrested for a crime, she can make a Diplomacy check to invoke her diplomatic credentials and not suffer the usual legal penalty or punishment. The severity of the crime determines the DC of the Diplomacy check. The standard DC for simple infractions is DC10. A crime like murder may be a DC25 check unless it is of an important person then perhaps 35 or higher. If one of the Envoy's consuls (see the select consul class feature, below) is arrested for a crime and unable to secure her own release, the Envoy may intercede on the consul’s behalf. One may aid the other’s Diplomacy check. An Envoy who routinely invokes the privilege of diplomatic immunity—either on her own behalf or to protect her selected consuls—is likely to be recalled or terminated by those she has sworn to represent.

The Envoy may revoke these privileges at any time and appoint replacement consuls as she sees fit. It takes 1d4 hours for an Envoy to invoke or revoke a consul’s or “attachés" privileges.

Demanding Presence

The Envoy can use there years of experience, there connections, or lastly just there wit to intimidate an opponent. Either in combat or in normal play. In normal play the Envoy can roll an Intimidate check twice and take the roll that they favor. In combat the target of the Talent takes a Standard Action and the target rolls an opposing Wisdom check. (In opposing checks the DC is the result of the roll from the instigator, in this case the Envoy's Intimidate check). If the target fails they Frightened for 1d6 turns. Each turn the target can use the same Wisdom check to attempt to shack off what they heard and saw. The Envoy can keep wounding them each turn. If successful each turn the target gets more and more intimidated. If already Frightened they can become Cowering, if already Cowering they can become Panicked. If they succeeded the check and they are already one of these conditions the previous condition doesn't go away. The turn counter of 1d6 turns doesn't reset itself if the Envoy is successful on the same target more then once. The Envoy can only do this 1 + 1/4th there Envoy level round up per day.

Ambassador's Allegiances

Corporation[s] Entity

Corporation or group/federation of corporations can be big enough to have galactic influence they may have Ambassadors on there side. Not too be mistaken with lobbyist who focus there attention solely on influencing local governments. Ambassador's that work for Corporations travel the galaxy making sure Corporate interests are understood and as peacefully as possible upheld. A Corporation may use an Ambassador too smooth over ties with a indigenous population on a planet that has to deal with the Corporation. For example it may be mining it and causing a lot of disturbance. The Ambassador could be sent to peacefully resolve the situation. Ambassador's insure that conflicts of any kind do not get in the way of Corporation goals.

An advantage bonus too Computer Use checks when attempting to get information from a computer owned by a corporation. The class also gets the Knowledge Business as a Class skill and gets a Misc +2 bonus too it.

Small to Medium Sized Government

A small or medium government in the Milky Way galaxy means any space faring government that has not expanded influence beyond a few systems. They would not be considered an empire or be well know. However locally they would be considered very powerful. Ambassador's that work for these governments would like be used to expand there influence beyond the systems they control. Because of there smaller size most Ambassadors would likely swear alliance hoping to move quickly up the ranks. With less competition then in other sectors smaller governments provide more opportunity.

Bonus: Ambitious: The Ambassador is more likely to get promoted. Advantage bonus too Profession checks. The Ambassador also gets an advantage bonus to the Intimidate checks when dealing with government agencies. The Ambassador also gets Knowledge Local as a class skill with a Misc +2 to the skill.

Large or Empire Government

There are many empires that have exists or still exist in the galaxy. The Ring of Life is massive and spacious and has afford much room and resources for many great civilizations to co-exist if not for just a while. Ambassadors are prized members in these great nations. There uses very from internal affairs of state too problems abroad. Ambassadors will be seen dealing with subjugated planets to help dispirit any rebellions. Lead talks on trade disputes. Secretly invigorate ill will in another countries weaker planets. All for the sake of maintaining and strengthening the Empire.

Bonus: Powerful connections: The Ambassador has connections all over the galaxy that can provide information or get her out of trouble. -5 too all the DCs associated with the "Diplomatic Immunity" table. The class also gets the Knowledge Civics as a Class skill and gets a Misc +2 bonus too it. The Ambassador also gets an advantage +2 to Intimidate checks when dealing with government agencies.

Religious Institution

Most religions are only popular local to the planet of origin. However Empires and trade spread ideas across the Ring and some religions have fared well. These mega religions have power and influence and Ambassadors are there peaceful arm. A religious group may be concerned that its followers are not getting the attention they need in government or afraid that a powerful mega corporation is going to act without considered the people it will effect. When this is the case religions often use Ambassadors to make there will known to the people, governments, and corporations. Sometimes Ambassadors are sent to work in secret while others walk openly and proudly about there faith. Ambassadors would likely swear alliance solely because their convictions are true.

Bonus: Strong Convictions: The Ambassador who swears alliance to a religious institution have an advantage bonus to Wisdom saves. Also the Ambassador gets a +1 bonus to Int and Wis Modifiers when someone is attempting to Bluff,Intimidate or use Diplomacy against them.

Crime Syndicate

You represent the will of a powerful syndicate. Many powerful individuals within organize crime use someone other then themselves to represent there wishes within the governments they operate. Sometimes these people are Lawyers or Politicians or a Business Consultant but one then is in common. These people are respected and very wealthy. In part because of the crime syndicate and in part because of there own ambitions. When working for a Crime Syndicate an Envoy is expected to be able to get people out of jail when they most certainly deserve to be there, they are expected to provide inside information to the 'Boss' or whoever they report too. The Envoy may smuggle money into more official channels from less official ones and whine and dine with the elite of society to make sure 'Family' or 'Business' is always seen as important, respected, official. No funny business too see here.

Bonus: Corruption: Instantly start off with $20,000 credits. Gain advantage when using the Plenipotentiary Privileges talent. Replace the Upper Management talent with Well Informed. This provides an advantage bonus when using the Diplomacy Gather Information skill check.

Rebel Cause

At some point we all have too choose. Some simply see the horrible in the Ring and must do something about it. Sometimes the person that makes that choose is a charismatic individually with leadership written on there face. However they where late to the movement. There already is a leader. But what about a spokes person? What about the person that once enjoyed and understood the other side. Someone willing to meet in the middle and possibly even respected by both. All good lasting rebellions, or at least any rebellion that had a ghost of a chance had someone like that. Someone not at the top nor at the bottom but still powerful and respected that could reach out to the 'enemy' and find common ground. Either it be to discuss hostage release or to build a foundation towards peace. An Envoy who dedicates herself to a Rebel cause will become its leaders right hand, and you will become a powerful force for change.

Bonus: Rebel: Loose 1/2 your credit score. Take disadvantage on the Plenipotentiary Privileges talent. Replace 'Stipend' with Negotiator. This provides +1 Misc score to either Diplomacy, Bluff, Intimidate, Sense Motive at 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th level.

Starfighter

Table: The Starfighter

Class Level	Special

9th	Cool Under Pressure
10th	Pilot's Luck

The job of a fighter pilot is a tough and dangerous one. Years of intense training never truly prepare a Starfighter for their first combat experience. Spewed from a mother ship in a blur, they see in an instant a massive on-slot of thousands of other little ships so small they are barely visible against the canvas of stars that makes up the milky-way. The scene is illuminated in flashes by weapon fire almost seaming to twinkle like the stars. An awe inspiring sight of modern violence. Most do not survive this first chaotic experience. But this is sadly the best way to weed out those that can and those that cannot. Most choose this path because they are thrill seekers and hotshots who think they are invincible.

If a Starfighter has survived more then a few dozen of these battles then likely they are among the greatest in the galaxy in piloting ships. They hone there skills being able to perceive all that is around them in three dimensions as enemy and friendly ships alike dart in and out of there limited cot-pit view. Most, realizing their own mortality, end their service at such point and put their skills to use in much less dangerous and more lucrative positions. From flying the ships of dignitaries, to pirating, to flying support for a cargo run, they are recognized for their service even by nations that they did not fight for, and they are feared as the greatest pilots the galaxy has to offer.

Choose the Starfighter if you want your character to be an astrogatin', battleship-hatin' fighter jockey with confident skills in the pilot seat and elsewhere.

The fastest path into this advanced class is through the Path of Dexterity(Fast Hero), though other paths are certainly possible.

Requirements: To qualify to become a Starfighter, a character must fulfill the following criteria.

1. Level: At least Level 2

Scientist may make grand discoveries about the universe and our place in it. But Engineers are the ones that exploit those discoveries and make them useful and piratical in every day life. Engineers are the corner stone of modern civilizations. They make sure that society keeps moving day to day. Silently working in the background repairing the machines of industry. However some do not like the mundane quite life hidden in the shadows of civilization. Some venture forth and try there luck out in the galactic frontier. Or in some other exciting position that brings an escape from monotony.

Software has been know to be extremely flexible, especially with artificial intelligence. However hardware is not. And hardware is the engineer's forte. Out in the galaxy there is an unknown amount of unimaginable obstacles to face. Engineers are known for their knowledge in how things work, how to fix things and make them more efficient. They can often bybass security measures or whip up special weapons or equipment in the field. It would be ridiculous for a team of colonizers to not bring an engineer too a new unknown planet. The job of a engineer can mean life and death for all involved. Those willing to leave there comfortable life, there cozy workshops, garages and shipyards may find riches and adventure.

Choose Engineer if you want your character to excel at building, modifying, repairing, and disabling electrical and mechanical equipment, including weapons.

It can be hard learning a new culture. Even harder if its from an Alien species and civilization. Some however love the challenge and get excited when those such barriers are torn down. Even rarer group of people love to do that with alien creatures. A Xenophile is usually seen as just a career choice for those that study the physiology, psychology, culture, and technology of other species. But for must Xenophiles its a life choice and life choose for them. To them there is no greater joy then furthering science by discovery of new alien species.

Usually this interest and even sometimes love for other species doesn't bestow any special kinship with them. However in rare cases it can. Some aliens creatures can be domesticated and even trained. Some Xenophiles take advantage of this to learn more about that species and how it interacts in different environments.

On the other side of the spectrum some Xenophiles attempt to be more detached from there subjects to try to stay as objective and scientific as possible.

Either case Xenophile's are usually found at newly discovered planets that have life on them. If not they are in civilization showcasing there newest discoveries.

Xenophile's Class Features

---

The following class features pertain to the Xenophile advanced class.

Xeno-Master or Xeno Philotherian

At first level the Xenophile must choose between the Xeno-Master path or Xeno Philotherian path. There are some class features that are shared between both.

• Xeno-Master: You choose to be more detached from your studies. You learn from observing alien creatures in there natural habitats. Because of this you learn more about how to hunt down such creatures as well as there own way of surviving and defending themselves from predators. If a colony has a pest or alien monster problem then it is a unique opportunity to both study the creatures both in nature and under a microscope.
• Xeno Philotherian: You can choose a baby alien creature to be imprinted at there birth or shortly there after. This causes a special bond that will allow the Xeno Philotherian to study and learn more about a specific creature then studying it normally. This shows a specific dedication toward learning about a specific alien species.

Xenolore

At 1st level a Xenophile can make a Intelligence check to identify certain characteristics of a xenomorph, including any special attacks, special qualities, or vulnerabilities. In general, the DC of the Knowledge check equals 8 + the xenomorph’s Hit Dice. A successful check allows the Xenophile to unlock a single fact about the xenomorph. For every 5 points by which her check result exceeds the DC, the Xenophile learns another piece of useful information.

Quick Chemistry

At 2nd level the Xenophile can craft general chemical and pharmaceuticals such as acids, poisons, health concoctions, etc... more quickly than normal. When using the Craft (chemical) or Craft (Pharmaceutical) skill to cook General Equipment items, the Engineer reduces the building time by 1/2.

At 6th level, the Xenophile reduces the building time of chemical masterworked concoctions objects by half.

Xeno Biology

All Xenophiles at 3rd level can show off there biological insights gifted from long studies of alien species to craft experimental concoctions that can have surprising effects. The Xenophile can gear the concoctions toward negative or positive effects and can use them to help boost themselves or there animal subjects. However if you are ever offered a drink from a known Xenophile take at your own risk! These experimental concoctions are unstable and have short expiration dates. They will need to attended (re-mixed, re-crafted, redone, etc...) every 24 hours or else they become inert. Unlike normal craft checks crafting these concoctions can take little time (10 minutes per vile) and can mostly use materials gathered in the environment (when suitable, Survival check DC12 + Misc Mods, time 20 Min). If not the materials follow the same price as normal.

Over time the Xenophile gets better and preparing these concoctions and can prepare more of them a day. There is a single crafting check for each day and the Xenophile can take 10 or 20. The Xenophile can re-try for every concoction they can prepare but the total is reduced by one until they cannot craft anymore. Number of different and total concoctions prepared per day is: 2 + 1/2 Xenophile's level round up. (The items cannot be sold as they are mostly useless to other creatures and they have such short shelf life.) The effect lasts for Xenophile's Wisdom Mod turns.

Although sometimes the bond between animal and person becomes more then what's necessary for scientific study. The Xeno Philotherian needs to spend at least 7 days with the animal in question and preform a Handle Animal check per day with a DC of 10 + HD of the creature. However at level one the Player doesn't need to roll this. Its only necessary if they want to gain a new animal companion to replace their first one. The player can take 10 or 20 however in this case it means 8 or 16 hours. The Xeno Philotherian can only have one at a time.
