Retired Boons

The following rewards are no longer available to buy or earn ("retired"), but can still be used in play if gained before their retirement.

Time-limited Boons

Some boons were only active for a limited time. Those which have expired are reproduced here for reference.

Alien Archive Admittance

Games played between August 17, 2017 and June 14, 2018 granted credit toward unlocking this boon, which allows players to create a barathu, ryphorian, or wrikreechee PC.

Fame Boons

When Fame was eliminated January 1, 2022, some boons were not converted to an AcP version. They are reproduced here for reference.

Abundant Ammunition

(Starship Boon)
Your faction provides you with ample starship ammo.
Prerequisites: Acquisitives Tier 1
Cost: 1 Fame

Benefit: When this boon is slotted, select one starship weapon with the limited fire special property on the group’s starship. The selected weapon increases the value of the limited fire value by half (rounded down). For example, a limited fire 5 weapon would become limited fire 7. This boon can be used to improve weapons gained as a result of other Starship boons.

Special: Multiple copies of this boon can be used on a starship, but each copy must affect a different weapon.

Alien Access

(Social Boon)
Your continued devotion to exploring the Vast pays off in the form of easier access to alien technology.
Prerequisites: Wayfinders Tier 3
Cost: 3 Fame

Benefit: You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to skill checks related to negotiating for equipment outside of the Pact Worlds. This also applies to skill checks where a successful result would secure you and your party a gifted alien item (typically detailed in the Treasure section of an encounter). In addition, you always have access to new equipment found on your Chronicle Sheet, regardless of whether you are in an appropriate settlement. You can purchase this equipment at a 10% discount, and it arrives via a non-combat starship within 1d3 days.

The following is a list of purchases available to all members of the Starfinder Society.
Prerequisites: All Factions Tier 0
Cost: Varies (see below)

All purchases on the Basic Purchasing Plan list are available with AcP except "+4 to any one skill check." They are listed as individual boons in the AcP boon store. The full table is included here for reference.

Basic Purchases

* Does not include Day Job check
** Mk 1 = 4 Fame / 4 AcP, mk 2 = 8 Fame / 8 AcP, mk 3 = 12 Fame / 12 AcP, mk 4 = 16 Fame / 16 AcP

Expert Blackmail

(Social Boon)
You’ve earned enough organizational contacts to help you act against certain targets.
Prerequisites: Dataphiles Tier 1
Cost: 1 Fame

Benefit: During the course of an adventure in which you have this boon slotted, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to call in outside assistance on a skill check against an opponent. You roll 1d4 and add the total to one Bluff, Computers, Culture, Diplomacy, Engineering, Intimidate, Life Science, Physical Science, or appropriate Profession check, representing the added effort of an outside organization. This effect can occur only in situations where you’re acting against a known target or organization. For example, you could spend a Resolve Point to gain this bonus when attempting a Diplomacy or Intimidate check against an opponent, but could not use it for attempting an Engineering check to overcome a lock in a forgotten ruin.

Special: In some cases, the GM can rule that your outside contacts can’t assist. This might be because you’re on a world cut off from the Pact Worlds or dealing with a completely alien threat. In these instances, you do not expend a Resolve Point.

Special: You can purchase this boon multiple times. Each time you purchase this boon, select a different weapon fusion.
