Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Bestiary (PFRPG)

Yay! Water wraith on the cover!

::covers mouth in astonishment::

So the multi-legged lizard is a water wraith?

So those are monkey goblins, look more frog like then monkey.

Nice cover art and it looks like we get 48 monsters instead of 46 so that is cool. So five new 0HD races just like I had heard, sweet.

So the multi-legged lizard is a water wraith?

It certainly resembles a certain creature called a water wraith first described by Elaine Cunningham in the Legacy of Fire serialized novella.

Don't you think?

Yay! I love new cover time here at the boards. I was wondering yesterday when the next covers would hit.

Just so everybody knows, I was kidding - I didn't write all the CR 20+ monsters, and by way of spoilers what I meant to say about the psychopomps, in all seriousness, was

Monkey goblins have hands on their feet!

I must own one!

Yay! Water wraith on the cover!

::covers mouth in astonishment::

Where do you see an undead creature?

I like the frost salamander/basilisk thing tho!

I do believe that was the critter Mr Groves was refering to, based on his latest post a few posts above this one.

Well whatever the blue alien looking multi-legged salamander/lizard is called it's still cool looking. I first thought it was one of those multi legged lizards that the Lashunta use as mounts but they said that it wasn't going to be in this book.

So if Monkey Goblins have hands for feet does this mean they can fight with there feet when they are climbing.

And wield four torches!

Which can only end well for them, I'm sure.

The word wraith need not automatically imply the undead, Sinny.

You'll have to take my word on it. ;)

As others have said, the water wraith is the salamander/basilisk thing, and it first showed up in the Dark Tapestry fiction for Legacy of Fire (Adventure Path issue #21, The Jackal's Price, to be exact) (without stats, on account of it being a fiction piece).

So the adventurers read about the water wraith in a book in that adventure?

I try and wait till the cover is added before getting excited, the rubber band effect this has had on my current excitement is almost too great to handle.

So the adventurers read about the w

ater wraith in a o, it appeared in the fiction section. book in that adventure?

No, it appeared in the fiction section. You know, the one that appears in every adventure past chapter. Elaine Cunningham wrote the story, in 6 parts. The water wraith was a creature that appeared in the story.

I was being coy earlier because I didn't want to irritate James, but I designed the creature, based upon the fiction.

We did have a misunderstanding about the size of the creature though, which was fixed in development.

Edit: Sorry I mangled your quote Dragon78. I was replying while on the phone in line to get coffee.

Well regardless of what size it is/was I still think it is cool looking and maybe a good pathfinder version of the Frost Salamnder(in apperance not abilities). I gues I will have to read that fiction section then;)

Given the scales we've seen of it before, I can't imagine the Annihilator being anything less than Colossal.

It'd be fun to have some rules for fighting on it, but I suspect it's a bit late for that :)

Based on the Illustration it looks Large. Assuming monkey Goblins, like all other goblins, are small.

It is large. There was an alternate illustration in the AP that made it look small. I was told to make it Small, so I did, but I also explained that I think it should be Large based on the description in the actual text of the story and sidebar.

The Boss agreed, and they fixed it. These things happen. It's a team effort.

I better shut up now or I'm gonna get in trouble.

Too garrulous sometimes.

No! Sing us saccharine songs of spoilers!

So monkey goblins are small, water wraith are medium, and the annihilater is large size correct?

I seriously hope that this is slightly larger than Large.

This sounds disturbingly like my Alpha Omega game last night. >.>

The Annihilitater looks huge size to me in that pic Cheapy but on this cover it's in the background so it could be any were from large to gargantuan size. Ether way it reminds me of Omega Weapon from the old school final fantasy(4 or 5) games.

Maybe Annhilators are constructed in a range of different sizes depending on their mission.

The 'merely' Large sized ones are for close-in house-to-house fighting and urban cleansing missions...

The annihilator is Gargantuan.

The notion that there could be more than one excites me greatly.

The notion that there could be more than one excites me greatly.

Possibly only one on Golarion (well, maybe a few more, in a dormant state, waiting to be discovered...), but wherever they come from, I'm sure they have more.

Including big ones that carry scads of smaller ones (or deploy them from hatches on their backs or underbellies). 'Cause that would be terrifying...

Who did the cover art?

Man, that link needs a NSFPWSP tag.

Gargantuan would work. I guess that's "only" 400 square feat.

Loved the spoiler.

Also I'd like an Annihilator miniature as the next case incentive.

Who did the cover art?

Tyler Walpole.

Good the Annihilater is gargantuan size.

I really do like the way monkey goblins look plus I just relized they have tails.

What is the Water Wraith's CR?

... Can we ride the annihilator Robot? Or perhaps pilot it?

In wild Numeria, annihilator robot rides you!

Depends on how you define "ride". Driving it presents a greater challenge.

Are there any templates that have more then one example monster stats?

Are there any templates that have more than one example monster stats?

Nope. One example creature per template.

So we get 48 creatures

5 0HD races

3 templates

1 familiar

0 animal companions

Interesting I could have sworn it said the release date was the 28th but now it is the 21st, if that's the case then I am not complaining:)

I heard rumors of gninjas updating the product schedule.

Well those rumors must be true.

Anyone remember were the vetala vampires were mentioned?

Those have NOT been previously mentioned. They're one of the legitimately new monsters to the game we wanted to get into the book for various reasons.

Any chance we might find out what the base creatures are that were used for those templates?

They are mentioned in the Blood of the Night book, based on the product description (which I guess is why they had to be placed in this book?)

I hope we get some previews for this one, particularly before subscribers get there orders shipped.

Is the fungus queen going to be a plant creature or some form of fey? Might seem like a silly question but with the povelik's that just dropped with asylum stone I have dark ideas for a fungus dungeon and am curious.
