Apologies if this has been asked before. New to Pathfinder, and haven't had any D&D stuff for probably over 15 years, maybe more. I think we still have the red-boxed, possibly original, versions stored somewhere lol. But Pathfinder has piqued my interest.
Having downloaded the freebie pdfs, I've noticed that in the adventure modules D0 and D1.5 there are encounters/animals/monsters but no stats to play them - and you are referred to the D&D Monster Manual to get such stats (eg for worgs, MM 246). Will this new Pathfinder bestiary mean you won't need to buy a non-Pathfinder book at all, ie. the D&D Monster Manuals, to get the necessary rpg stats to play ALL the encounters? Or will I still need to get the Monster Manuals to have the complete stats for any encounter in your Pathfinder books?
I am looking at going the pdf route for most of the Pathfinder material, saves the bookshelves any more strain, plus I print only what I need - so I may end up just buying the paper versions of the rpg book, maybe this bestiary (love that you use that word btw, my BA dissertation was on medieval bestiaries), and the campaign guide.
Been looking for a good rpg world to get into, Pathfinder (great name) may well have grabbed me - get some novels and maybe a comic series, and you may see me here till the end.
