Anachronistic Creatures

From Pathfinder Monster Core to its countless Adventure Paths, Pathfinder has hundreds of incredible creatures you can use in your Starfinder campaign with minimal adjustment. These guidelines can help you incorporate these monsters with minimal concern. Following these guidelines will help you easily convert a creature, encounter, or even entire adventure into your Starfinder game! Since Starfinder exists in the future of the Lost Omens setting, most creatures from Pathfinder probably lurk somewhere in the Starfinder universe, whether preserved from Lost Golarion deep in the Ghost Levels of Absalom Station, whisked away by fey or other extraplanar collectors, or genetically engineered to amuse guests at the Golarion World theme park. These guidelines can help you modify Pathfinder creatures to use in your Starfinder campaign. Summoning Adjustments You should be wary of allowing players to summon creatures from Starfinder in low-level Pathfinder games. Double check to make sure any spells the creatures can cast and equipment they carry match the themes and tone of your game. Also keep in mind the efficacy of the creature's movement speeds and ranged attacks in low-level games, comparing them with Pathfinder equivalents if you find the summons are overwhelming your encounters. You might create an ongoing rule that all Starfinder creatures have the uncommon or rare trait to prevent summoning in your games.
