The races of Kyon discovered space travel and have found a mysterious door in space...


Author's Note: Heavily inspired by Mass Effect, essentially a scenario of DND races advance technology and achieve space travel, meeting an existant galactic society. Peace or war? Your choice. The races of Kyon are preparing to take flight aboard The Wayfarer! A ship specially designed for their maiden voyage beyond the newly discovered Warp Door in their Solar System. No one knows what lies beyond, but you must be ready for anything. IMPORTANT: To start off look at Locations and look at the Setup/Lore. Uncollapse it and you will see Lore and Setup POIs. The lore is to give you background on Kyon and the Galactic Society they meet. The Setups are various scenarios I thought up to get you started. Use @ then the setup you want to get started. Obviously you can do something different if you want. NOTES: - In order to make space combat not boring and work with existing F&F systems, lore-wise every Starship has a "Combat Translator" allowing all party members within a Starship to use their normal combat abilities to participate in a Starship battle. This is one of those, fun gameplay > lore decisions. -All the zones are small due to the galactic scale I was going for and the limitations here. -I found that during travel time (decided to make it take ten days to get from Kyon to the Warp Door) I had to switch it from Adventure Mode to Downtime Mode, otherwise Franz kept just instantly teleporting us everywhere. -Most images of the alien races I had to generate with google gemini.

Description

You create a Large hand of shimmering, translucent force in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The hand lasts for the spell's duration, and it moves at your command, mimicking the movements of your own hand. The hand is an object that has AC 20 and hit points equal to your hit point maximum. If it drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends. It has a Strength of 26 (+8) and a Dexterity of 10 (+0). The hand doesn't fill its space. When you cast the spell and as a bonus action on your subsequent turns, you can move the hand up to 60 feet and then cause one of the following effects with it. **Clenched Fist.** The hand strikes one creature or object within 5 feet of it. Make a melee spell attack for the hand using your game statistics. On a hit, the target takes 4d8 force damage. **Forceful Hand.** The hand attempts to push a creature within 5 feet of it in a direction you choose. Make a check with the hand's Strength contested by the Strength (Athletics) check of the target. If the target is Medium or smaller, you have advantage on the check. If you succeed, the hand pushes the target up to 5 feet plus a number of feet equal to five times your spellcasting ability modifier. The hand moves with the target to remain within 5 feet of it. **Grasping Hand.** The hand attempts to grapple a Huge or smaller creature within 5 feet of it. You use the hand's Strength score to resolve the grapple. If the target is Medium or smaller, you have advantage on the check. While the hand is grappling the target, you can use a bonus action to have the hand crush it. When you do so, the target takes bludgeoning damage equal to 2d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier **Interposing Hand.** The hand interposes itself between you and a creature you choose until you give the hand a different command. The hand moves to stay between you and the target, providing you with half cover against the target. The target can't move through the hand's space if its Strength score is less than or equal to the hand's Strength score. If its Strength score is higher than the hand's Strength score, the target can move toward you through the hand's space, but that space is difficult terrain for the target.
