Monsters have long stalked us in the darkness. Within this book, you’ll find a host of these creatures for use in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Face off against archdevils and the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, planar dragons and the legendary wild hunt, proteans and psychopomps, and hundreds more! Some creatures, such as the capricious taniwha, the mysterious green man, or the powerful empyreal lords, might even be willing to provide your heroes aid—if they deserve it!
Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 6 is the sixth must-have volume of monsters for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and serves as a companion to the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook and Pathfinder RPG Bestiary. This imaginative tabletop game builds upon more than 10 years of system development and an open playtest featuring more than 50,000 gamers to create a cutting-edge RPG experience that brings the all-time best-selling set of fantasy rules into a new era.
Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 6 includes:
More than 200 different monsters.
New player-friendly races, like the crazed monkey goblins, the telepathic albino munavris, the river-dwelling fey naiads, the wolflike rougarou, and the yaddithians of the Elder Mythos.

I had thought when Bestiary 6 came out I wouldn't need it.
How wrong was I!
This book will definitely take it's place as one of the essential Pathfinder books in my collection, if you're waiting to get this, don't! Get it now!
Well done Paizo!
My one complaint is mine had the same s%#+ty yellow binding glue as the first printing of the Starfinder CRB, but I'm not dropping the rating because it is that good (also I still have binding glue leftover from my Starfinder CRB).
So Bestiary 5 was a bit disappointing to me, but this one is something that did something with Pathfinder I haven't seen in a while: gave me ideas that I wanted to use. A lot of the monsters presented are honestly interesting. As usual, there are some reprints from other products, but I always favor having consolidated lists of things. I won't use everything, but there is enough here that I'll be using a good chunk.
Also, the weremantis reminded me how much I love Portal, so I have to give it to them there.
So me and two other guys from my gaming group ordered this book from amazon. WOW, all of us have missing and or scrambled pages.
I have over 17 missing pages (most of the archdevils content)and more or less 20 pages out of order. I don't know if they are sending all the "special" books down here, but I can assure you I will never buy a physical book from Paizo anymore.
1) they have outright said we're getting all 4 Horsemen and all 8 Archdevils.
2) Just because Gods are above CR 30 doesn't mean there aren't other things above it.
1) Well, now I am surprised. There is still hope some high level Sahkils then and some daemonic harbingers (Aesdurath would be nice ^^).
2) Right. My mistake to say that "above CR 30" equals to god. But the "no stats thing" for power level "above CR 30" is correct. I thought they have even said as much, but perhaps I am just wrongly remembering stuff.
@Baroth, sorry, that's what I was trying to say. That just because the Gods are above CR 30 doesn't mean there aren't other things that are above CR 30 but below a God that can be statted.

I think as fas as I understand JJ in this thread ( http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2svut?Power-level-of-various-gods ), it does seem that anything above CR 30 has no stats.

Demigods (which include things like demon lords and archdevils and great old ones) are generally CR 26 to CR 30 in power. Below them are the quasi-deities like nascent demon lords, mythic heroes with the divine source ability, and the like, which are generally CR 21 to CR 25 but can be lower or higher.
Above demigods, which includes all deities who grant 5 domains (note that demigods grant 4 domains, never 5 domains, and quasi-deities grant one to four domains, depending)... there are no rules for how powerful they are. The one thing they share (apart from granting 5 domain choices to clerics) is that they do NOT have stat blocks, and can as a result do more or less anything you want them to be able to do for your story. Obviously, since there's more than one deity at this level, there is a range of power. Pharasma is the most powerful of them all (even more so than Rovagug), but we haven't revealed who is the least powerful, nor have we really pegged the others in on any sort of power tier, since that's kind of irrelevant, since they don't have stats.
However, this might also be interpreted as describing only deities.
I removed some additional posts. Its okay to ask the thread to get back on topic, its not okay to phrase it behind personal attacks or insults. Text is sometimes a hard medium to convey tone in and its easy for sarcasm to come off as meanness.
P.S. A joke here or there isn't a problem, but lets try to not let it become a distraction in the product discussion thread.
I can neither confirm nor deny that I'm the entity known as the First Daemon, the Father/Mother of Oblivion, the Oinodaemon, the Dire Shepherd, the Bound Prince, or the 5th Horseman, etc.
Please direct any questions to my lawyer, Tegresin the Laughing Fiend.
