Keeping up With the Times

While many Pathfinder characters can adapt to the Starfinder setting with minimal mechanical adjustments, some might want to divest themselves of their archaic trappings and fully embrace the technology and techniques of the future. You might want to present this option early to your players so you can plan some downtime between levels where a PC could change classes. This would be a one-time exception to the rules that normally prevent changing classes, and you should only permit this when the two classes have similar themes. If the new class has a different key attribute, such as a fighter becoming a soldier, you should consider allowing them to retrain some of their attribute modifiers.
