Liberty's Edge

I was wondering if there was a product, Paizo or 3rd party, that lists knowledge checks for the monsters from the Bestiaries?

I think someone did it for MM1 and MM2 for D&D, but I was unable to find a list for PF. I would be willing to pay money for such a product.


What do you mean? Theres a standard formula for knowledge checks for monsters. Rarity class + CR is the DC, and each 5 pts you are over is an extra piece of info

Liberty's Edge

Aye, but is there a text that lists all of the monsters with the numbers already calculated and the information next to those skill checks?

Scarab Sages

I don't think it's been done yet.

Edit: I stand corrected below :)

Scarab Sages

Though, in Rite's Book of Monster Templates, it is provided for each of the new creatures made using the templates, so it has been done for individual monsters in some products.


I don't think that it's been done because the rarity of the monster depends on the GM and the campaign.


4WFG created one for the Bestiary 1 but it used information at default levels of 10, 15, 20, 25.

After taking over 4WFG, we followed up with one using the same format but covering Bestiary 2.

But nothing based off of the CR/Rarity of the item?

I would love a book that had B1 and B2 complete. I am not a fan of digital :(


Nothing based off of the CR/Rarity. That mechanic wasn't used in the original which sold well, so we just followed the same path for the second one.

No plans for these to be in print.
