First World Problems
Unveil the mysteries of primeval legends, encounter ancient creatures from a time before time, and prepare to enter a preternatural world where nothing is permanent and everything is alive and vibrant. Now the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game explores 10 of the Golarion’s most iconic and well-loved fey creatures in Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Fey Revisited!

With Fey Revisited, you can immerse your game in the rich lore of legendary beings such as vigilant tree-bonded dryads, fanciful goat-legged satyrs, and blindingly beautiful nymphs, or release lurking evils like sadistic redcaps and diverse hordes of maniacal gremlins. Each entry includes how these embodiments of nature might guard or corrupt the world, details on the unique tokens they bestow upon favored mortals, and a ready-to-use threat or ally of each fey race.

Inside this book, you’ll find fey creatures like:

  • Dryads, guardians of the forest who ensnare mortals’ minds for their own goals of preservation.
  • Leprechauns, folkloric pranksters rumored to hide great riches available to those who find their stash.
  • Norns, the powerful beings said to pull at the threads of fate.
  • Nymphs, stunningly beautiful fey who strike blind those who peer upon them.
  • Redcaps, blasphemous and sadistic murderers known for dipping their woolly caps into the blood of their victims.
  • Satyrs, creatures of whimsy and strength who use their musical pipes to haunt and bewilder.
  • Other capricious creatures, such as a handful of types of pesky gremlins, terrifying nuckelavees, elusive rusalkas, and playful and quirky sprites.

Fey Revisited is intended for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and Pathfinder Campaign Setting, but can easily be used in any fantasy game setting.

Missing Creative Spark

3/5

I get the feeling the writers weren't terribly inspired by the fey, because there's nothing really interesting here you couldn't learn on wikipedia. No real striking culture features, no talking about fate and what it means to be fey.

I feel they missed some key opportunities to explore high concept ideas like, "do fey have souls?" by just going with straight myth, and not challenging the idea that maybe it's just bigotry. After all, fey in myth are believed to be linked to old gods of conquered or forgotten people. If that's not a rollicking loaded gun of ideas for major spiritual conflict/politics along side the entire fey court concept (which is just vaguely mentioned), I don't know what is.

The things that did work for the book were Gremlins, which seem to have been given more thought and flavor than the other fey. Also the character blocks at the end had more flavor than the rest of the sections. I think this might have worked better as an unleashed product, due to the fact some of the types of fey used are very well known (dryad, nymph).


Lacks deep insight

2/5

Read my full review on my blog.

While I’ve generally considered all of the Revisited books to be excellent resources (particularly for games that heavily feature creatures from a particular Revisited book), the most recent one, Fey Revisited, is something of a disappointment. As the title suggests, this book focuses on ten kinds of fey. The book is designed and formatted in much the same style as previous Revisited books, but what’s lacking here is content. Sure, there are just as many creatures examined in the same number of pages, but whereas the previous books always provided new insight into their selected monsters, I came away from this book feeling like I hadn’t really learnt much new about the fey within. Most of them still seem somewhat nondescript, even characterless. On top of that, the book misses the opportunity to make clear distinctions between some of the very similar kinds of fey it examines.


A lot more material than I expected but nothing for players

4/5

As a campaign setting, you usually dont expect much for players, certainly not traits, which are almost always in the primers or player companions for a subject. But you do often see some new feats or items or subdomains that can filter down, and this did not have them. I am still giving it 4 stars because it is a campaign setting and didnt promose them - Im just used to getting a few from others in the Settings Series.

That said, the actual content exceeded expectations! Firstly, there were WAY more Fey listed than I expected. Sprite dryad nymph leprachaun, i figured those. But there were many more! Very nice surprise.

Secondly, all those additional ones i mentioned are drawn from classic mythology (be it greek, norse, etc) and they not only readily admit it, but help you track down other sources that might add flavor - very cool! No weird stuff pulled out of this air here - these all have 'real world' connections and hence all kinds of wikis or classic lit books you could use as additional material.

Best of all, this product has THE BEST art i have seen in a settings edition yet, both in quantity and quality. Whoever is in charge of the layout of this product needs a raise. The writing is top notch, but its the design that pushes it from 3-star functional to 4-star impressive!

Fairly strong recommend if you are a GM (not player) that has any interest at all in this subject matter. It is a pure lore book tho ( a darn good one), so don't be surprised that there arent new feats and subdomains.

This came to my attention and i have to wonder, since there is a male dryad in one newer AP.
I totally think there should officialy be male dryads.
Can we get any official word on that? Would be awesome, thanks.

This is unquestionably something that got quietly overruled since then. ^_^

I hear you Kali, but i´m in a situation where it would be awesome if it weren´t that quiet and yes i´m aware it´s a bit ridiculous but at the same time it´s very serious.

Thou art GM? Clarify thyself for thy campaign.

Not sure if it helps you, Hayato, but F. Wesley Schneider wrote this post on his personal blog. It concerns a male dryad in an issue of the Pathfinder comics, as well as his thoughts on the issue.

“But Wes, everyone knows all dryads are women.”

Yeeeeeah. I’m getting kind of bored with that—and honestly, I think a lot of folks are. I love mythology as much as the next nerd, but with few exceptions the role of “elusive monster that you maybe want to fool around with” is almost exclusively filled by women—and, folkloricly, that’s not really an honor. So I figure that, If we’re going to have supernaturally sexy characters in our stories, lets widen the appeal here a bit. Heck, no one really bats an eye at mermales anymore, so why not a guy dryad?

As far as I know, though, it hasn't been officially confirmed anywhere in print.

I would think that an encounter with male dryad in an adventure path would in itself negate any statement that male dryads do not exist, especially since there is no evidence of anyone at Paizo saying that the male dryad was a mistake.

Of course, we could infer from the earlier statement that male dryads do not exist that they are rare enough that most people would be unaware of their existence.

Silver Crusade

We have a male Dryad in an Adventure Path AND in the comics :3

A guyad, if you will.

Silver Crusade

I would have gone with Doodad.

I hope we get a second version of this book. I'd love to see the following Fey in a sequel manual:

Bagman
Bogeyman
Candlestone Courtier
Cold Rider
Hamadryad
Lurker in Light
Nereid
Spring-Heeled Jack
Swan Maiden
Zana


Maybe this line up would be better?

Bogeyman
Cold Rider
Erlking
Glaistig
Hamadryad
Oceanid
Swan Maiden
Tunche
Whisperer
Zana
