Yay!

Thanks... missed that.

Om nom.

SWEET!

Nope, it's a mock-up.

Edit: Geez, ninjaed several times over. Guess I didn't hit refresh.

I would like everyone to note that we specifically mentioned the book'll contain hippogriffs in the product text. Because we care!

Yes. Hippogriffs. You will indeed get hippogriffs.

For sure they will be accidentally left out of the final book due to a printer error. Just sayin'.

Also, am I right that Aeons are the paragon NN race ?

Yes.

I love my hippogriffs. I can't even make my standard Luke Skywalker joke off of JJ's post, I'm so full of love.

other kytons?

I'm looking forward to this one.

other kytons?

There's already a new CR16 kyton in Pathfinder #30, but others would be nice, too.

Here's our third hardcover Pathfinder RPG book for the year! The first Bestiary was an excellent book, but due to spacial limitations it left us hungry for more. Well here's our solution!

other kytons?

We've got a new kyton in Pathfinder #30... but no new kytons scheduled for Bestiary 2. I don't think we do, at least.

BTW: why aren't kytons devils any more?

And there goes some more of my hard earned money.

Not all of us can afford to buy every Pathfinder product. If Paizo put out bi-yearly monstrous compendiums I'd do flips.

Kytons weren't devils when originally introduced (or at least they weren't in 2e Planescape's Planes of Law box set, I dunno if they ever were around before that.) The change just returns them to the status they held before, denizens of Hell but not true devils.

You could always pull back your Blu-Ray addiction. ;)

Ah ok, I used to ignore Planescape back then, because I found the original box set offensive in its tone and embarrassing in trying to be cool with its awful "cant" and DiTerlizzi art.

I'm pretty much at where I want to be with it now. And anyway, as not having a gaming group, I have no need to collect every issue of every adventure path.

Bar that! Do you want to go lanning this leatherheaded Prime to the dark of it all?

Actually, while there certainly ARE kytons in Hell... their main plane is the plane of Shadow in Golarion. But yeah... the weren't devils in 2nd edition when they were initially created, and even in 3rd edition, even though they were CALLED "chain devils," just look at their stats. They're not BUILT like devils. They don't have any devil traits. No spell-like abilities. They're like retrievers and bebiliths (two others who we moved out into their own entries).

Really hope there will be Spellweavers in this one. Or a cool replacement monster if Paizo can´t do them (which I have no clue about).

I want to start the petition now for Dropbears. :)

I know he ain't talkin' bout diTerlizzi!

Spellweavers are not open content.

I would nominate the witchwyrd from Pathfinder #14 as their "replacement." Although they're pretty different, power wise.

The official Bestiary 2 announcement, very, very NICE!

I am glad that Wayne Reynolds is doing the cover art for this one as well.
(Since there wasn't a Bestiary 1 promo poster, any chance for a Bestiary 2 promo poster?) Pretty Please...?

BTW James... very glad that hippogriffs were mentioned, as well as proteans, and the aeons too. (After hearing talk of the True Neutral outsiders for a while, its nice to have a name, and knowing we'll have much more in about 8 months).

A definite must have. :D

Will there be any changes to the "icons" ?

I liked the premise of the Bestiary vol. 1 icons, but they were sort of hard to distinguish.

Yay! I can convert my Sable Company Marine! 8^)

WOO-HOO! I knew my fervent prayers to Asmodeus would be answered! All it took was sacrificing 999 rats and a promise to deliver Mairkurion's soul! :)

Is it too late for this fellow to make the cut?

That fellow? A sea life curator? Just use stats for an NPC Expert with Knowledge (Nature - sea life), and use the page-space for something more useful, such as a giant sea crab maybe?

are there going to be more oni type monsters in the bestiary 2?

Aeons???? Anymore information?

Monstergasm!

Pike it Mona you upstart Prime!

Hi. I'm Trelmarixian the Black, Archdaemon of Famine, and I approve this message.

(Sweet, very sweet. Proteans get some love too. Yay!)

2E put out annuals of critters from every product once a year. I would love to see a complied pathfinder bestiary annual

I'm excited to see what the regeneratio universal monster ability does. ;)
