PLAYER’S GUIDE
Welcome to the Marata, your new home away from home—and
your only one for a while. You never set out to be adventurers;
you’re just a group of people on a job, on a journey, or doing
some other mundane task. When you get thrown across the
cosmos without warning, all that is shattered. You have little
to no hope of an easy way out. All that drives you and your
companions now is finding a way home to the Pact Worlds,
even if that takes you to Hell and back. It’d be best if you
didn’t have to go there, though.
THE TEAM
You are prominent members of the crew of the Marata, a ship
sharing a name with one of the moons of Bretheda. All crew
aboard the Marata know each other quite well, and you and
your fellow travelers should share a simple, unified goal. The
PCs in the Drift Crashers Adventure Path don’t start out as
adventurers; rather, they’re desperate refugees in a situation
they don’t understand, trying to find a way home. Before your
group starts to make characters, work together to choose one
of the following communal backgrounds, or create your own
shared motivation. Each background lists appropriate themes
and includes a small benefit.
CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYERS
In a confusing and hectic galaxy, you and your fellow crew
can always count on the game you play together. Whether
your preferred sport is brutaris, starlance, or some other form
of athleticism, you are part of a rookie team hitting the space
lanes on a trip to the big leagues! Your team made the cut for
an invitational championship at an important cultural center
(such as Vesk Prime), and everyone’s excited. This event
could jump-start an amazing career! The crew of the Marata
(named after the moon where the players earned their biggest
victory) just finished an intense training regimen on Akiton
and is preparing to flip the switch on their Drift engine to
head to the championship as the adventure begins.
Suggested Themes: Athlete (Character Operations Manual
9), giantblood (Near Space 138), gladiator (Pact Worlds 57),
and vaster (Adventure Path #34: We’re No Heroes 49).
Benefit: As a group, choose one combat maneuver that
is integral to the sport the team plays. Each PC gains a +1
insight bonus to perform that combat maneuver, and to their
AC when that combat maneuver is attempted against them.
PLEASURE CRUISERS
You and your compatriots pooled your hard-earned credits to
purchase a discount pleasure barge and leave the troubles of
your former lives behind. The vessel isn’t much, but it has
enough accommodations to keep you comfortable as you
coast through the stars with nary a care. You named the ship
the Marata after the moon on which you and your fellow
sophisticates decided to embark on a mid-life retirement,
and perhaps you’ll return there one day. Danger is a foreign
concept to you and your bunch. You are in the middle of a
Drift jump, heading to a Near Space planet with a luxury
resort, as the adventure begins.
Suggested Themes: Noble scion (Character Operations
Manual 13), sensate (Character Operations Manual 14),
tempered pilgrim (Pact Worlds 77), and starwalker (Adventure
Path #22: The Forever Reliquary 53).
Benefit: When you take your time, tasks come more easily
to you. You gain a +1 bonus to any skill checks on which you
take 20.
REUNITED FAMILY
Whether related by blood, adopted, or (most likely) a mixture
of the two, everyone on the Marata is part of one big family
that has persisted for generations. The family’s head named
the ship after the moon where the yearly gathering takes
place, and the crew is tasked with getting as many of “the
folks” that can fit aboard. You just picked up the last straggler
from a planet in the Vast, and the Marata is preparing to
enter the Drift on the trip back to the Pact Worlds as the
adventure begins.
Suggested Themes: Cultist (Pact Worlds 147), diplomat
(Adventure Path #22: The Forever Reliquary 45), spacefarer,
and xenoseeker.
Benefit: Working with, near, and over each other is familiar
to your crew. Up to two Key NPCs (see “The Crew” on page
42) can take open crew actions per round of starship combat
instead of just one.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHERS
While your crew might focus on varied academics or be
a team of joint researchers, the Marata is home to several
knowledgeable minds in a particular field. This ship was
provided via a grant from Tafflithe University, the first
academic presence to be instituted on that moon. The specifics
of your first research project are up to you, but there should
be much potential for expansion in its field. The university’s
dean recently asked for a personal debriefing, so you’re
returning to the Pact Worlds. As the adventure begins, you
just brought the last piece of equipment aboard from a mobile
research laboratory in the Vast, and the Marata is preparing
to exit the atmosphere.
Suggested Themes: Biotechnician (Pact Worlds 127),
roboticist (Pact Worlds 27), scholar, and xenoarchaeologist
(Pact Worlds 137).
Benefit: As a group, choose Engineering, Life Science, or
Physical Science. This skill becomes a class skill for you,
though if it’s a class skill from a class you take at 1st level, you
instead gain a +1 bonus with that skill. This bonus stacks with
your theme bonus.
TRAVELING ENTERTAINERS
Whether it’s time to rock, roll, or catwalk stroll, the Marata
is crewed by a bunch of entertaining folks. You’re part of a
3
 group that performs in anything from an up-and-coming
musical band to a fantastic circus. The ship is named after
a key part of the act; perhaps it’s the name of the band’s
fledgling single or the place where the team got its first big
gig. You are on your way to Songbird Station in the Diaspora
for a sold-out performance! The last mic, instrument, pet, or
other performance gear is packed, and the group’s leaving
home to hop into the Drift as the adventure begins.
Suggested Themes: Grifter (Character Operations Manual
10), icon, street rat (Character Operations Manual 15), and wild
warden (Pact Worlds 37).
Chief of Security
4
Benefit: Even when you’re the furthest from home, you
never lose hope that you’ll make it big; sometimes, that hope
pays off. Once per day, when a PC or Key NPC (see “The Crew”
below) rolls a 1 on a d20, any PC can spend 1 Resolve Point
to reroll and use the second result. This benefit can be used
only once per day by the entire crew—not once per day per
character—but any PC can spend the Resolve Point.
WANDERING BUSINESSFOLK
The people who crew the Marata have big business dreams.
Maybe you got tired of a steady job and wanted to set out on
your own, or maybe you inherited the family business from a
cantankerous household. You could be employed by a large-
scale corporation or peddling a smaller trade. In any case,
you never anticipated more adventure than tensely haggling
for fair payment for services rendered. Your ship is named
for the moon to which you’ve been tasked with expanding
your market, and you have every intention of getting the
commission you need and deserve. Your crew just finished
packing some cargo to be sold there or sealed a big future
deal as the adventure begins.
Suggested Themes: Bureaucrat (Near Space 137), corporate
agent (Pact Worlds 47), prole (Adventure Path #34: We’re No
Heroes 48), and quartermaster (Near Space 140).
Benefit: You know how to make a good sale. Once per day,
when you sell a single item with a level equal to or lower than
the PCs’ APL + 1, you can sell it for 20% of its standard market
price instead of 10%.
THE CREW
The PCs aren’t alone on the Marata. The ship has additional
crew consisting of an assortment of friends, family, and loyal
companions. These bonds may be tested as everyone tries
to make it home, but you should eventually triumph if you
all work together. As you make your character, create and
name a prominent NPC aboard the Marata with whom your
character has a personal connection (hereafter referred to as
a Key NPC). Your bond with them can take any form you and
your GM agree on: close pals, partners, friendly rivals, and so
on. No matter what, you can depend on them. Your Key NPC
can be any species, gender, or other classification you desire.
Key NPCs can assist the PCs in several ways, depending
on their specialty. Select a role for your Key NPC from the list
below; unless specified, each player must select a different
role for their Key NPC. If the crew has multiple Key NPCs who
can take an open crew action in starship combat (Character
Operations Manual 148), only one Key NPC can act in starship
combat per round.
Key NPCs are also excellent opportunities for backup
characters if a PC suffers an unfortunate fate. In this case,
another member of the crew should be “promoted” to Key
NPC status. This NPC might not even begin the campaign on
board the Marata, as there will be plenty of opportunities to
make new friends throughout your adventures!
 Chief of Security: This Key NPC is well-versed with the
ship’s security protocols. They can use the feign disaster and
ready weapon system open crew actions. When your ship’s
tier increases to 4, they can fire one of the starship’s weapons
during the gunnery phase as an open crew action instead,
with a gunnery bonus equal to 1-1/2 times the ship’s tier,
rounded down.
Crafter: This Key NPC stays up-to-date with the latest
developments in UPB utilization and is happy to craft supplies
to help the crew get home. When selecting this role for your
Key NPC, choose two skills from Computers, Engineering,
Life Science, Medicine, Mysticism, or Physical Science. This
Key NPC is treated as having a number of ranks in that skill
equal to your ship’s tier, but only for the purposes of creating
and repairing items and implanting augmentations. This role
can be selected for multiple Key NPCs, but you must select
different skills for each.
Doctor: This Key NPC is a skilled medic who can treat the
PCs if they require medical aid. When selecting this role for
your Key NPC, choose whether they are a physical doctor
or a mystical healer. Regardless of which is chosen, the Key
NPC can restore a number of Hit Points to one PC equal to
one-quarter of their maximum Hit Points (but not Stamina
Points) with 1 hour’s care aboard your ship. If the Key NPC
is a physical doctor, they can also give a PC they’re treating
a +4 bonus to their next saving throw against a disease,
drug, or poison (this doesn’t stack with the bonus provided
by successful Medicine skill checks). If the Key NPC is
a mystical healer, they can also heal 1 temporary ability
damage to one ability score for the PC they’re treating.
When your ship’s tier increases to 4, this Key NPC heals 1d4
temporary ability damage to 1 ability score and eliminates
any fatigue the PC is suffering.
Sage: This Key NPC is knowledgeable on several esoteric
topics that are likely untouched by the rest of the crew.
They’re a font of information when you need it. This Key
NPC can attempt a skill check to recall knowledge regarding
planes beyond the Material Plane. They have a total bonus
to these skill checks equal to 4 + 1-1/2 × your ship’s tier,
rounded down.
Socialite: This Key NPC knows people well enough to
know how to dress around them, how to impress them, and
not to trust them. They provide insight about anyone you
meet, perhaps to the point of gossiping about them with the
PCs. This Key NPC can attempt skill checks with Disguise to
change appearance, Perception checks to notice or pierce
disguises, and Sense Motive checks to detect deceptions
and discern secret messages. They have a total bonus to
these checks of 4 + 1-1/2 × your ship’s tier, rounded down.
Technician: This Key NPC knows the ship inside and
out. They can rig the control board however you need and
can optimize the ship’s internal AI twice over. This Key
NPC can use the prioritize calculation and range finding
open crew actions. When your ship’s tier increases to 4,
if they act in starship combat, they can use both of these
actions simultaneously.
THE MARATA
Your ship may not look like much, but it’s going to be a
constant comfort in your journey home. It may be new to
you or an old haunt, but you’ve each found a way to make
it your own. Choose a custom modification to the ship from
the list below. If the modification provides a bonus to a
check or saving throw, each PC can use that bonus once per
day. No ship modification can be selected more than once
unless specified.
Chapel: The ship has a small alcove dedicated to a particular
faith. This grants a +1 morale bonus to saving throws against
spells, spell-like abilities, or other supernatural abilities
from outsiders.
Cleaning Facilitation Station: The ship is kept impeccably
clean by a semiautomated cleaning subroutine in the ship’s
AI. This grants a +2 morale bonus to saving throws against
diseases or poisons.
Custom User Interface: The ship’s UI has been rewritten to
be far more user-friendly, allowing access to the limits of the
scanning systems more easily. This grants a +1 morale bonus
to checks to scan with the sensors, both inside and outside
the ship.
Exercise Stations: The ship is outfitted with several pieces
of exercise equipment, adaptable to various physiologies.
Thanks to the use of this equipment, each PC gains the
benefits of an industrial backpack without having to
purchase or wear one. This benefit doesn’t stack with those
of actual backpacks.
Genetic Sampler: The ship’s crafting station incorporates a
DNA scanner, making it particularly adept at re-creating the
biology of prominent crewmembers. When using the crafting
station to craft species grafts (Alien Archive 4 140) of racial
traits possessed by the PCs or Key NPCs, the cost to create
and implant said graft is reduced by 5%.
Integrated Tool Units: The ship is outfitted with several
tools within its rooms and corridors for a specialized
purpose. Any member of the crew is treated as possessing
two level 1 tool kits of your choice while on board; these
integrated tool kits can’t be harvested and sold. One of these
tool kits can be a basic medkit. This ship modification can be
selected twice.
Jailbroken Food Dispensers: The ship’s food dispensers
have been modified from factory standards, allowing more
customization to meals. These essentially home-cooked meals
and the bonding they create grant a +1 morale bonus to saving
throws against mind-affecting effects.
Lavish Sleeping Units: No matter their actual size, the
sleeping quarters of your ship are exceptionally comfortable,
all but assuring a good night-cycle’s sleep. This grants a +2
morale bonus to saving throws against fatigue or exhaustion
for 24 hours after getting a full night’s rest on the ship.
5
 Manufacturer-Grade Crafting Station: One member of
the crew may have worked for a prominent manufacturer
of custom weapon modifications, or maybe they’re just
intimately familiar with a given manufacturer modification
from disassembling and reassembling several weapons with
it applied. Select one manufacturer’s weapon modification
(Armory 55). The crew can use this crafting station to craft
applicable weapons with that modification.
Portable Virtual Entertainment System: You brought your
personal VR console aboard, and the whole crew enjoys
it—having a break from reality helps everyone relax and
separate truth from fiction. This grants a +2 morale bonus
to saving throws against illusions, as well as confusion and
insanity effects.
THE JOURNEY
You were originally headed somewhere, but something is
about to go horribly wrong, and you’ll be stranded without
an easy way home. This Adventure Path will take you to
hostile territory, perhaps beyond the Material Plane. Unusual
encounters will be the norm, and you’re likely to face enemies
you can’t overcome. Unlike many adventures where the main
characters have a chance of success wherever they go, the
PCs in Drift Crashers aren’t experienced, battle-hardened
warriors—at least, they aren’t yet. Don’t be afraid to be afraid!
Running away to live another day is sometimes the best
course of action, and failing forward is always better than
dropping dead.
You’ll likely be far from anything resembling home for a
long time, so places to buy equipment may be few and far
between. Treasure every UPB you find, because crafting the
equipment you need will be more useful than hoping you can
find a vendor with the appropriate gear. While you might have
one or more Key NPCs who are dedicated to forging the best
equipment possible, it’s likely wise to have a PC or two take
ranks in other skills used for creating equipment. Take what
you can and make what you need. You’ve got quite a journey
ahead of you.
THE GEAR
Listed below are new pieces of gear you might have brought
with you on the trip, specialized gear you might want to craft
to weather the storms ahead, and a new creature companion
you might attract along the way.
ARMOR UPGRADES
Everyone who travels through space needs armor and its
protection. You never know how armor upgrades such as
these could be useful should life ever take a brutal turn.

ARMOR TYPE Light, heavyBULK —

This armor upgrade is perfect for those who don’t have
time to get their armor fixed after a scrap or two. When
you install this armor upgrade, you must place a number of
UPBs equal to 100 × the item level of the armor in which
it is installed. When you activate the upgrade with a move
action, it expends a number UPBs from its reserve equal to
10 × the item level of the armor to repair the armor, restoring
a number of Hit Points to the armor equal to the armor’s
item level; this process takes 1 minute. This armor upgrade
can repair broken armor but not destroyed armor. You can
refill the upgrade’s UPB reserve to the maximum of 100 × the
armor’s item level in a process that takes 1 minute.

upgrade’s entry, you are treated as carrying that tool
or item.

ARMOR TYPE AnyBULK —
By outfitting your armor with magnetized, short-range
grapplers that are linked to its environmental sensors, this
upgrade serves as an extra protection against explosive
decompression. If you fail a Reflex saving throw against forced
movement in space (for instance, being pulled through a hole
punched in a starship’s hull or a malfunctioning airlock), this
armor upgrade engages immediately after you are moved
10 feet, grappling a nearby solid surface with a length of
titanium alloy cable line and stopping your movement.
Unfortunately, the vacuum rappeler doesn’t prevent falls or
forced movement in areas with an atmosphere. The upgrade
holds a total of 40 feet of line, which can be retracted into
the upgrade with 10 minutes of work.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Blindsense (Ex) A rift remora’s blindsense can sense only
living creatures with the extraplanar subtype.
Planar Leech (Su) Once per hour when a rift remora
grapples a significant enemy with the extraplanar
subtype, it feeds off the enemy’s planar disjunction to
regain a number of Hit Points equal to one-tenth the rift
remora’s maximum HP.
Rift Teeth (Su, 8th level) Once per day when a rift remora
grapples or pins a significant enemy with the extraplanar
subtype, it tears at the creature’s very quintessence with
its fangs. The grappled or pinned enemy takes an amount
of piercing damage with the force descriptor equal to the
rift remora’s level.

CREATURE COMPANION
Rift remoras are leech-like outsiders that glide through the
planes with supernatural intuition. These astral parasites
are naturally attracted to interdimensional rifts. They gain
sustenance from these misalignments of various planes of
existence by absorbing the metaphysical potential energy
Rift
through their long, drooping antennae. Their pale, near-
transparent skin and circular, gaping maw of razor-sharp
Remora
teeth gives them the appearance of deep-sea aquatic life.
Though they don’t need to use it to feed, their ability to
smell and home in on creatures not native to the plane
they’re on makes them prized trackers by bounty
hunters who specialize in pursuing targets across
the planes.

 WEAPONS
Just because you’re not typical soldiers and mercenaries
doesn’t mean you’re not armed in case things go south. These
tools can get you through a scrap, whether that be a rowdy
fan who stormed your stage or an opposing brutaris player
who’s out for more than blood.
NEW WEAPON SPECIAL PROPERTY
Some weapons presented here have the instrumental
special property.
Instrumental: A weapon with this property can also be used
as a basic musical instrument (Armory 105). The size of this
instrument’s battery is the same as that of the weapon’s, and
it can be used as a weapon (with the charge usage indicated)
or an instrument (where it uses 1 charge every 10 minutes). If
the weapon is 8th level or higher, it also functions instead as
a euphonic musical instrument (Armory 106).
BATTLETUNE
A battletune comes in a variety of sizes and shapes, as
it mimics the variety of musical instruments found
across countless cultures throughout the
galaxy. This instrument, however, is sturdy
enough to be used as a bludgeoning weapon
in combat without activating the battery.
When powered, its sonic vibrations instead
harm the eardrums of enemies (though
this weapon always targets KAC).
MANICA
Consisting of a series of durable arm plates
strapped across a limb, these weapons
serve a dual purpose of offense and defense.
While ancient manicas may have taken time
to don, modern-day versions cover the arm
quickly with the assistance of spring-loaded
mechanisms. Gladiator manicas are favored
by players of martial sports such as brutaris,
despite their ungainly size preventing other
weapons being wielded with the same hand.
SHILLELAGH
Though smaller and more expensive than a simple
club, a shillelagh is often sturdier and made of more
modern materials, such as aluminum or fiberglass.
SHILLELAGHS (ONE-HANDED BASIC MELEE WEAPONS)
UNCATEGORIZED LEVEL PRICE DAMAGE

Shillelagh, cruiser 7 5,500 1d10 B

8
A shillelagh is usually used as a walking stick, but some are
capable of dealing weighty blows to the head in the hands of
those trained in self-defense.
WEAPON FUSIONS
Some crews choose to magically attune their weapons to
work better in tandem with one another in tight scrapes or
assist them in identifying foes.
LEVEL 1
CUNNING
When you strike a creature with a cunning weapon and
deal damage, you can attempt an Engineering, Life Science,
or Mysticism check to identify the creature as appropriate
(this takes no action). You gain a +2 circumstance bonus
to this check. If you succeed, in addition to learning useful
information about the creature, you gain a +1 circumstance
bonus to the next saving throw you must attempt against that
creature’s abilities within the next minute.
LEVEL 1
FAMILIAL
A familial weapon aims itself around all other
creatures the wielder considers their family,
and is usually decorated with a crest or
other distinguishing mark. A weapon with
this fusion can be attuned to a number of
creatures equal to the weapon’s level,
typically the owner’s family or friends.
The bonus enemies receive from cover
or soft cover provided by attuned
creatures is reduced by 1. This
Manica weapon fusion can be applied only
to ranged weapons.
LEVEL 1
HARMONIC
A harmonic weapon reverberates with a constant,
almost distracting hum or makes pleasant twanging
noises when moved around. When you strike
and deal damage to a creature with a harmonic
weapon, the sound it produces finds a harmonic
resonance in the creature. Before the beginning
of your next turn, any ally that targets this
creature with a weapon in the sonic category gains
a +2 circumstance bonus to the attack. This weapon
fusion can be applied only to weapons that deal
sonic damage.

PLANAR TRAVELER +1 WIS
Whether you are or aren’t a native of the Material Plane, it certainly
holds little sway over you. Why go to the vidgame arcade when you
could sample the endless delights of Elysium? Why settle your disputes
at the local courthouse when you could get the opinion of the perfect
arbiters of Axis? Why simply kill your enemies when you could annihilate
their souls with the help of Abaddon? Regardless of your tendencies,
focus (or lack of focus) on particular planes, or motivation for traveling,
your knowledge of realities beyond your own is unmatched.

THEME KNOWLEDGE (1ST)
You’ve engaged in intense study regarding other planes of
existence, whether you live on it or (more likely) are planning
to visit it. Select two planes of the Great Beyond other than
the Material Plane (Core Rulebook 470). Reduce the DC of
Mysticism checks to recall knowledge about these planes
and religions based in those planes by 5. Regardless of the
planes you chose, reduce the DC of Mysticism checks to recall
knowledge about, open, or close a planar rift or gateway by
5. Mysticism is a class skill for you, though if it’s a class skill
from the class you take at 1st level, you instead gain a +1
bonus to Mysticism checks. In addition, you gain an ability
adjustment of +1 to Wisdom at character creation.
residing in a plane chosen for your theme knowledge, you
can spend 10 minutes communing with or warding yourself
against that plane to recover 1 Resolve Point. You can’t use
this ability twice in the same plane in one day. Additionally,
select two additional planes (other than the Material Plane)
for your theme knowledge; at your GM’s discretion,
you may choose more esoteric
extraplanar locales (such as
the Akashic Record or the
Dimension of Time).

PLANAR ADAPTATION (6TH)

You’re well-versed in the lack of hospitality to Material
Plane creatures in most other planes of existence, so you
intensely study how to survive in them. You can attempt
Survival checks to endure severe weather, live off the land,
orienteer, or predict the weather in planes selected with
your theme knowledge without penalty from inhospitable
terrain, and you can use your Mysticism bonus instead if it’s
higher. Additionally, select an additional plane (other than the
Material Plane) for your theme knowledge.

PLANAR AMICABILITY (12TH)

Your study of other planes imbues you with an understanding
of the typical mannerisms of creatures endemic to those
realms. Reduce the DC of Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate
checks by 5 when attempted outside combat against
outsiders native to the planes selected with your theme
knowledge. Additionally, select an additional plane (other
than the Material Plane) for your theme knowledge.

PLANAR WALKER (18TH)

Your journeys throughout realms beyond mortal knowing
have changed you; you now regain power simply from
communing with other planes. Up to twice per day, while
