Format of Rules

Throughout this rulebook, you will see formatting standards that might look a bit unusual at first. These standards are in place to make the rules elements in this book easier to recognize. The names of specific statistics, skills, feats, actions, and some other mechanical elements in Starfinder are capitalized. This way, when you see the statement “a Strike targets Armor Class,” you know that both Strike and Armor Class are referring to rules. If a word or a phrase is italicized, it's describing a spell or a magic item. This way, when you see the statement “the radiation from an atomic blast lingers in the room”, you know that the words denote the atomic blast spell, rather than a non-magical atomic blast.
