I think it's about time you accept the fact that people have differing tastes, and your target group of "people who want to stare at colour art of their favourite mythological creature" is quite likely somewhat smaller than the groups of "people who want interesting monsters to challenge their players with" and "folks who are looking for cool playable races, cohorts, summons and planar binds".

I can't wait to see how horribly messed up the Sakhil are and how they'll probably make Pharasma go, "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"

Look who's talking, Mr.I-hate-the-Giant-AP.
And for your information, i'm actually playing the game now, not much, but its a start, finally found myself a group.
But last time it took a person more than 15 minutes to choose a playable race and then it was even limited in what the people could choose.
And i'm being more sarcastic than hatefull, that is what you get from Bunny Races.

Nah, just get rid of ALL 0HD races. And player characters, for that matter. That way you don't have to wait for the players to decide anything at all.

I may not want certain monsters very much (Like Fey) but that doesn't mean i hope they aren't included in this book. I really hope they are included because I know some people really like that sort of thing and I hope that there is something for everyone in Bestiary 5.
So while you may not want more 0-HD races or aliens and robots or Giant plants or whatever it is you aren't into I think people should be glad of everything that gets in because SOMEBODY probably really wants the monsters you don't and with 300 monsters I think there will be enough monster you like to make up for ones you dont
I dont even mind the 10 recycled 0hd races we probably get in bestiary 5. Just was sarcastic to bunnypeople 0hd race. You know like everyone being sarcastic againt me, sometimes I need my revances.
Well there is a dog race from arcadia but I will not hold my breath on getting stats for that one any time soon.
Did you ever play a Final Fantasy game set in Ivalice? Cause when I heard bunny people I instantly thought of vieras! I actually like Vieras, Bangaas and the other races in Ivalice a lot
OOO point me to where it says about dog races I want to know
There are pretty much multiple dog-headed creatures in myths. Cynocephalus and the evil psoglav. I wouldnt mind cynos as race but psoglavs better work as monsters.
They are mentioned in the first AP volume though I could have sworn they were from Arcadia, well regardless they are from a different continent.
Maybe we will get more info this product during Gen Con or at least an update to the cover art.

Hopefully we can get creatures to populate the dreamscapes and other planes of existance, aswell as some elements from other older dimensions of terror. Like freaking wonderland. We really need an adventure path set in wonderland or an dreamscape of that kind. NOT LIKE DUNGEONLAND though. I want to be able to not fight literally everything. And I'm sure it could be done.
That being said I hope we get a mixture of physical enemies and other types.
As for aliens, giant robots and monsterous plants-if they are done right with regards to description and context, nearly anything can work in a game. Though a Gm isn't going to use something he doesn't want to, and he is entitled to do so.
Wonderland would be part of the first world since that were all the wonderland creatures can found.

Well, you can fight basically everything in a dreamscape, plus there is monsters summoned there by people using the impossible actions ability of the dreamscape, the nightmare creature and nightmare lord templates, animate dreams, night hags, and baku.... But personally I would like something like the unfettered eidolon stats. It allows you to make whatever dream outsider you desire.
Also they just announced an AP that'll involve dreamscapes and mindscapes.
Maybe this week is the week they update the cover art.
Uhm.... esoteric dragon... maybe they use psychic magic...
And how about the new templates? What could propose?
* Bestiary: converted templates by Monster Manuale of D&D 3.5
* Bestiary 2: converted templates by Epic Level Handbook of D&D 3.0
* Bestiary 3: original templates (and I love them!)
* Bestiary 4: converted templates by Advanced Bestiary (3.5)
So, new possible templates from Bestiary 5 is...
* Templates by APs (including those written with 3.5 rules, for example the "Black-blooded creature" from Second Darkness)
* Occult templates
* Lovecraftian-like templates (like.... uh, well, i don't know xD)
Looking forward to those aether elementals… should be pretty cool!

Also looking forward to the Aether elementals. So are we getting wood and void elementals since were supposedly getting wood and void elements for the Kineticist in the Occult Origins book?
Wood and Void might end up in that Occult Bestiary, considering the golarion nature of the Occult Origins book. But I hope they'll be in a hardcover.
As for planar origins of wood and void, just put them in the positive and negative energy planes respectively.
I could see void coming from the negative energy plane though wood could be from the positive energy, first world, or even be native to the prime material. Also Occult Adventures mentions time elementals wich could might also be found in B5 or OB.
I kind of assume since those races are in ISG, they won't reprint them in Bestiary 5. After all they could have reprinted them in at least 3 or 4.
There is a chance they might reprint them, we know they will be reprinting some monsters from the ISB though they haven't what they are or how many.
The following 0HD races have not made it into a hardcover bestiary: Android, Eoxian(living), Ghoran, Gillmen, Kuru, Lashunta, Monkey Goblin, Shabti, Skinwalker, Strix, Syrinx, and Triaxian. Though of course none of core races have but they do not need to be in a hardcover bestiary.

Not gonna lie, I am hoping for a playable alien race. Would be hella cool.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
I'll admit, reading lots of Eclipse Phase, I really want more alien aliens. Like alternate biochemistries (ammonia based) and non-humanoid. Though I definitely can understand the terror that would be for figuring out magic items for a three legged xenomorph that breathes methane :)
Oh cool, ghoran will become RPG line.

WHOOT!!! More minions to grovel at Pugwampi feet...
...and by that I mean: More allies in our just and noble cause of spreading a sense of humour!
>:D
Nice Cover art, looks like Grim Reaper, Deep One(or hybrid), and Grays.
Cool a new sprite and moon dogs.

New familiars, animal companions, and other allies, such as clockwork familiars, red pandas, and many-legged wollipeds.red pandasRED FREAKING PANDAS
I need this now. Now, I say.
Yes, the Grim Reaper looks marvelous! Much better than the Gothic Reaper from before, this is what the Grim Reaper is suppose to look like!
Further is the description of what is in this book not doing anything for me, I have to wait to see the whole book I guess, most awesome creatures I like from Bestiary 4 (spare for Tooth Fairy and Almiraj) weren't mentioned in the text either.
Love Grim Reaper, Dream/Nightmare Dragon, Hsigo (winged monkey) and Grey Aliens, the other creatures are everything I don't care for, Templates (i'm all about vanilla), 0HD races (drown in them already), robots (never cared), goodguys (not into picknicks), normal animals (nice in real-life, but not for Bestiaries) and familiars (don't like the many-at-one page stuff).
The cover is cool I guess, hope the Ravens are Valravn, but I guess it is based on the Evil Birds movie?
The Deep One isn't something I would put on a cover especially since there was a Lovecraft monster on the previous cover and the Occult Bestiary as well, making it look like its Lovecraft + Pathfinder, but the other two creatures suit nicely.
