I'm not intending to spoil anything, but I now want to play a summoner with the Legion of Folded Paper feat. If I can find a campaign that allows the book. Or any campaign, really. (Do summoners get Deep Magic's burning monkey swarm spell? Not that the feat and spell synergize in any way.)
It's a neat feat... but it seems off a bit. When you summon from a chart of the Spells level you only get 1 creature not 1d3. 1d3 is if you summon a chart 1 level lower. The Feat is written as though a summon from an equal level chart is 1d3 creatures instead of 1, so it's going to need a rewrite.
that aside
Hello my lovely Eye Kings my players will be so happy to see you
Is there a moss lich template inside?
Does it have a nice picture?
Hey folks,
I am the designer on this project (I did the conversion of the old templates and all but a few of the new templates) and the developer for the Hero Lab files. I have been given clearance by the powers that be at Green Ronin to talk about the book (keeping spoilers to a minimum :)).
Hope folks enjoy this book as much as I did writing it.
@Drejk - Yep the Moss Lich is in there. Personally, I think the pic is quite cool. Then again I am loving the artwork throughout the book. :)

Normally, yes. Adding the ofuda template gives you more (since it makes the creature significantly weaker). The feat increases the number even further.
I'm looking to cook up a wall of wolves spell. [With the Legion of Folded Paper feat and a maximize metamgic rod, a maximized empowered summon monster vii gives ... 13 + 1d4/2 ofuda celestial wolves? Do I have that right?]

<looks over template again>
I missed that, I had thought the feat was needed just to get the templated added in the first place. My bad
Brings me one step closer to making an Onmyouji for my next character
just got mine the artwork is great. lookin forward to springing them on my players.
Hi!
When can i expect the hardback PF Advanced Bestiary in Brick & Mortar shops (Europe)? And do anyone know of any european-based online shops that carry it?
Want to get my hands on it! :)
Thanks!
I just found out about this. I will look it over once I get it downloaded.
At first skim it's looking fantastic. Good artwork, loads of great templates, and no errors that are leaping out to me after a fast skim through of the material. I can't seem to find the Devil-Bound template, however, is it renamed and I just missed it or not included? It was one of he templates I most wanted to see (along with demon possessed, both templates whose 3.5e versions I got lots of mileage out of), and all the other outsider related temates are looking excellent.
Edit: I am also a big fan of the linked table of contents!

A few of the templates were converted by Paizo and are Bestiary 4. Instead of reprinting these, the decision was made to include new templates.
Is the Gigatean (sp?) template around?
Ah ok, I'd forgotten Paizo had remade that one, it's a constant +1 CR template rather than the varied one in the old Advanced Bestiary. Thanks for the reply, still plenty of awesome templates in this new one!
Yep, still has the Gigantean template Sauce.
Creature Swarm for the win!
(one of my favorite templates :)
I don't expect to have the time to properly run over this before release and I'm not going to have the time to create an account on the Ronin forum, so if someone could relay this please...
Page 23, Luck (Sp), the text in the left column pours over the shaded background.
Oooh.. Peremalfait.. I see Darren McGavin running through the sewers of Chicago with a stick of bayou gum.

I am glad I am not the only one to remember the original Kolchak. The mythology behind it is interesting as well. (My favorite is the one with the rakshasha. Scared me as a kid, and still creeps me out.

Thanks I will add it to the list.
Some of the art is really amazing.
I wrote the new Consuming Creating Template (a thank you to Owen for the opportunity).
My personal favorite pieces of art are. The consuming purple worm adult red dragon, Dread Lacedon Great White Whale, manimal triceretops, Savant Psuedo Dragon, seasonal storm giant (in summer), Galleon of Land and Sea, Giant Bombardier Verminoid.

Editting issues. At the top of the second column of page 45 it says dread blood knight when I believe you were referring to normal blood knights.
Additionally on page 168 there is the sentence "If any Herald lacks a Herald for 5 consecutive rounds, all the Herald essences leave their hosts." I believe the second use of the word Herald should be host.

Steve,
I can see combining that one with ravenous to make a low-level windigo. So many possibilities.

Edgewise while out and about watching progress bars...
Page4, Introduction.
"If it just a one of encounter don’t worry about every bit of minutia since the creature will probably not survive beyond the combat."
Sentence needs an "is". Also, I suspect "one-off" is intended.

Page4, Introduction.
"For example, having demon possessed NPC begs the question of how that character got possessed, what are the motivations of the demon possessing it, and how the characters friends and allies are dealing with the changes in their associate."
Minor edits.
"For example, having a demon-possessed NPC begs the questions of how that character got possessed, what are the motivations of the demon possessing it, and how are the character's friends and allies dealing with the changes in their associate."
For everyone who missed the Kickstarter and asked when they could get this book, it's now available for pre-order!

Thanks Jeff :)
It looks like the Advanced Bestiary has now been released. Any thoughts on it?
