In the 2nd year of the Pathfinder RPG, they put out their 2nd Bestiary - an excellent guide to monsters in Pathfinder!
An almost perfect opposition between dungeon cruft and some pretty good ideas and images. Did a longer breakdown on the blog.
I actually like this book better than the 1st book. The format is all the same, but I feel like the monsters printed in these pages are cooler and more varied, book 1 was all about normal animals and standard low level or fantasy adventure stock baddies (goblins, orcs and dragons oh my! *eye roll* Boooooring), this had vastly more interesting baddies.Artwork is fantastic and I'd recommend if you use the free resources as well, skip the 1st book and just get this one if you're looking for a quick...
Dungeonmasters are always looking for new monsters. //Pathfinder RPG: Bestiary 2// offers a plethora of new monsters from old sources, as well as some new ones from other sources completely. If the first //Bestiary// was all of the relatively normal monsters, these are the fun monsters, where the developers brought back all of the monsters that developed the game past just the usual dragons, goblins and sea serpents. The really weird monsters are back, and this means that even the Jabberwock put...
Basic Premise: Monsters and beasties to throw at players in the Pathfinder RPG, 1st edition.Every game master needs more monsters. It's a rule. The first bestiary was filled with great monsters that are commonly found in rpgs. This volume expands that collection. There are more commonly found monsters as well as some new ones. The pictures continue to be great, and the organization as well. The appendices are useful, and I'm glad that Paizo publishes all of this information in every bestiary, be...
Once upon a time, someone was reading some Lovecraft, and they ran across their copy of the old AD&D Fiend Folio - the one with the ludicrous monsters - and said, to himself, "Self, I bet I can make these work." And so he did. And while he was at it, he sketched up stats for Shantaks and Lengites, and all manner of eldritch abominations. But no, he said crestfallen, Nightgaunts.This is an OK book. Little bit heavy on the outsiders, little bit light on low CR critters, excellent selection of fey....
A robust offering of monsters both new and familiar, though for an old-time gamer such as myself, the familiar ones tend to be the more welcome entries in this, the second of Pathfinder's various monster books. The overall variety of monsters here is to be commended, giving Bestiary 2 a feel of a wide-ranging survey of monsters of all shapes and sizes, to be incorporated in any combination, in any campaign. The strong theme orientation of Bestiary 3 and Bestiary 4 have a way of giving the menage...
really great selection of new undead and some new lovecraftian or folk mythology tinges stuff, but outside of that I liked the first bestiary much more overall.
