Pathfinder Adventure Path #74: Sword of Valor (Wrath of the Righteous 2 of 6) (PFRPG)

Brimorak Attack!

As first illustrated in Pathfinder Campaign Setting Book of the Damned Volume 1: Lords of Chaos the brimorak looked terrifying, but seeing them alone without any perspective it’s easy to forget that these fiery demons stand about waist-high to a human. However, in this cover illustration by Wayne Reynolds it doesn’t look like the brimoraks are letting their short stature get in their way of taking on the iconics.

Many of these art resources can be found in the Community Use Package here on paizo.com, but also on this very blog.

Pathfinder Pawns: Bestiary Box

Elementary Solutions: Bestiary Box Preview

Elementary Solutions: Bestiary Box Preview Tuesday, June 26, 2012 While I enjoy painting miniatures, and I'm a fast painter, I'll be the first to admit that painting minis is a time-consuming art. GMing takes a lot of time all by itself and not everyone has the time or talent to make minis fit the evocative stories their imaginations conjure. Also, minis can be expensive. Even with the release of the Pathfinder Battles minis line, we realize that sometimes cash-strapped GMs needed a...

Familiar Foes Thursday, December 8, 2011Having written several of the monsters for Bestiary 3 during my long-ago days as a freelancer (I can’t believe it’s almost been 6 months since I started work as a developer!), I have a lot of reasons to be excited for its upcoming debut. While it was fun working on the beasties from various mythologies, I would be lying if I said all of my favorites came from that background, because this book is simply so packed with monsters both new and old.
