Starfinder: New Classes, New Ways to Explore
Two new classes, the Aeoncarnate and the Dragoon, make their way into Starfinder.
Those third-party publishers are really getting into the groove of producing cool content for Starfinder. Today the base game gets its first couple of custom classes, shown off in Little Red Goblin Games’ Dragoon and Rogue Genius Games’ Starfarer’s Codex. These both are some pretty solid new base classes, which, while not legal for league play, are still worth checking out if you’re looking for a little variety in your home game.
The Dragoon is very firmly rooted in the sci-fantasy part of Starfinder. I mean if you’re playing Pathfinder but in Space these guys fit right in with that style. Dragoons are the once-dead, now resurrected servants of dragons. Bound to a set of powerful armor, they are pretty beefy. These guys are martial through and through, if you want something to be soldiery, but with a unique spin on it, these guys are all about it.
The Aeoncarnate, on the other hand, are a hybrid caster class. If you have been thinking, how am I going to do some crazy gish shenanigans in this new game? Well here’s the answer. While they’re specifically “not a spellcaster” they have all kinds of abilities and spell-like powers that they can draw on to do everything from buffing their attacks to bending luck.

A New Class for a New Game!
“The Mewthian Disaster, a catastrophic event that killed millions, was perhaps the single greatest tragedy we have ever benefited from. They called it a disaster. I say it was a crucible that forged the weapons righteousness needed to survive.”
–Schola Dimus Rigan, “On the Mewthian Fallacy”
Short Version: You are a quasi-immortal soldier bound to a set of haunted armor by a dragon god.
The Mewthian Dragoons are the result of a tragic war on a graveyard planet reserved for the most ancient of space dragons. Those servants of the great wurms who died were resurrected to continue the fight when their dragon died. Now they are legion- organized into sacred orders and dispatched across the galaxy to combat evil wherever it rears its head! Will your character take the plunge and give up their mortal form to fight against the darkness?

Starfarer’s Codex: The Aeoncarnate – $3.95
Command the Energies of the Universe!
All the drives and limits of the universe are fuels and lenses for your power!
Like the mysterious outsiders known as aeons, and the masters of the ancient magic items called aeon stones, you are an embodiment of the conflicts and paradoxes within all planes of existence, and you use the tensions between them to enact your will on reality.
The Aeoncarnate is a new base class for the Starfinder Roleplaying Game that gathers and manipulates the potential energy of the universe to create supernatural effects. Not a spellcaster, the aeoncarnate uses dynamic potential to increase the destructive force of your attacks, manipulate gravity, and call on quantum energies to twist things to your benefit.
