Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Bestiary 6 (PFRPG)

It is a lot easier remembering a creature in hardcover bestiary then it is in the various AP volumes and other softcover books;)

Someone said Rhan-Tegoth and Yig are going to be in, while I have my doubts as to whether they will both be in or not, I hope that Rhan-Tegoth is a Vermin if it is in.

Mr. Jacobs himself was the one who revealed Rhan-Tegoth and Yig as the other two Great Old Ones. ;)

when? last time I knew he had said one would be from Lovecraft, one would be Umr at-Tawil (typically Outer God), and one would be something else.

the "something else" I think was implied to be Umr at-Tawil

Comments of the blog post where Umr at-Tawil was revealed. James said after I correctly guessed them that he meant to include them in the blog proper, but missed it, and confirmed them to put speculation to bed,

There is nothing wrong with French poodles except how humans style their fur.

I'll defend even that on the reason for the furcuts being practical- they're water dogs, fur around the joints and body keeps them warm, shaving the rest keeps them from being too heavy, so they can swim around in cold water and be happy. It's a case of the practical reasons being forgotten!

Hm, that's something that's a potential plot hook for any of the furry races... give them a 'weird haircut' and have people constantly make fun of it, but really it's to prevent them from being bitten when hunting (insert small monster here), or to keep (insert dangerous plant monster here)'s poison leaves from irritating them, or so on.

My only hope for this is that the Empyreal Lords won't be wimps this time around. After the disappointments of Cernunnos/Korada/Vildeis and then Andoletta in Chronicles of the Righteous this is the last chance I give Paizo to stat paragons of righteousness.

Seconded, especially since my favorite (Arshea) is going to be here. I'd rather not have to do a second re-statting, or bring out the spreadsheet supporting my argument.

Speaking of arguments, good is not dumb, or weak. That argument just reeks of a thug morality excuse to be evil (no, I can't take a "joke"), and there's no evidence that good is in any way inferior given how the upper planes aren't on a desperate defensive. Protean vandals seem to be the worst Heaven has to deal with.

More relevant to empyreal lords specifically, they're meant to make good look cool, and meaty stats will go a long way towards doing that. You don't want your action figures made out of flimsy materials, do you?

Given how thoroughly you've already gone over this, I suspect that if the changes you've demanded haven't been taken into account, another round won't get you anywhere.

I can't wait to see this week's preview, what do you guys think it will be?

Something about the Devil and Georgia.

Of course good is dumb. They take prisoners. They help people, and then see those people spit in their face. They electrocute the people who actually do want to help them. That's dumping Int, Wis and Cha, respectively.

And I'm not arguing for thug morality excuse to be evil, I am arguing for excuse to be Neutral and just work for those who pay you the most AND don't attach any stupid clauses such as "all children you meet must be turned over to me for my experiments" or "no disintegrations". The Good and Evil extremes always want to inject some stupid morality into pure business. Sheesh.

Baphomet was imprisoned by Asmodeus, was marked with the Archfiend unholy symbol, and now uses it as his own symbol of strength...

Tsk, tsk, tsk... Dumb evil Asmodeus...

Oh, evil is even worse than good in that department. Devils and demons are so full of themselves that they can't really get anything done. Daemons are a little better, now if they weren't suffering from a massive Oedipus Syndrome regarding Lilith Fifth Horseman...

Now I want a daemon born/created/formed from "death by oedipus syndrome", or at least because of its consequences. XD

I can't wait to see this week's preview, what do you guys think it will be?

About the Dragons in the book!

With illustrations for the Elder Wyrm, the dragon from heaven and the Three-Headed kaiju! I'm sure! ... or at least I'm hoping.

If I had to guess, It's going to be about something already mentioned.

Up until now the previews have been about things in the description or that were confirmed to be in the book... And I'm actually glad about it. Even though revealing what is in the book might increase the number of costumers interested on it, I still want to be surprised by some unexpected interesting creatures.

I am hoping its new stuff, not mentioned already. I much preferred the Blight blog than the demigod one, because the latter mostly just confirmed stuff we already knew.

(...) And does anyone know when we'll see a table of contents?

Table of contents? I'm pretty sure you will have to wait at least post release for something like that.

Alas subscribers will have the actual book in just some weeks, I suppose.

EDIT:

I am hoping its new stuff, not mentioned already. I much preferred the Blight blog than the demigod one, because the latter mostly just confirmed stuff we already knew.

Even thought now we know what exactly they are, we already knew that we were getting a powerful group of oozes in the book. So, I suppose this blog should be classified as "new stuff about stuff we already knew", right? ;D

Chances are they are saving the best B6 previews for when the PDF is already out;)

Please don't take "announcements" from non-Paizo staff members as announcements. Until the book's actual release date, it's best to look to posts from actual Paizo employees or the blog for information.

That includes a table of contents, which is something I suspect we won't release on its own.

Ok. Sorry. I'm just chompin' at the bit to find out about the dinos and megafauna...

Am I the only one who's surprised that Pathfinder is still going on as of today?

Nope. I know how stubborn gamers can be.

I don't think "stubborn" has anything to do with it.

When WOC pulled out their shenanigans for 4E...I disliked the way they treat many allies, and decided to give Pathfinder a try.

Since then, I have been completely pleased with both the direction, and the quality, they have produced.

They have created both a system I love playing, and a reality I love playing in.

THE END ;)

I include the Paizo developers in my statement. ;)

I am actually tickled pink that Paizo chose to respond to a difficult situation the way they did. I am not a big fan of the usual corporate mentality...they chose to move in the direction the majority of the market hoped for....and as a result garnered a loyal following....including myself.

Is it Thursday yet...looks at watch...nope.

It's barely the end of Wednesday, Dragon.

Here on Brazil the previews are out late at night... From 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Imagine my anxiety. =)

Yeah people are still playing 1e and 1e, that doesn't mean they are still making products for those editions.

The no-longer extant TSR isn't making them, and WotC isn't making them, but products are still being made and sold, largely due to the OGL.

Now we have more about the true dragons. Some of us were disappointed, and others like me are ok with their originality.

Anyway, what are your hopes for the next preview?

Outside of my wishlist, I would like to know more about the taniwha. It seems to be an interesting creature, or maybe even a new group. I'm curious to know if it is an outsider?, a magical beast or maybe a dragon.

I'm really pleased with the format of the previews. It's good to know what the creative director went through while preparing this book for us.

I'm thinking about the Green Man, maybe?

I don't think you will need to wait. The Green Man is a plant creature of quasi-deity level, they can be of any alignment, an it isn't an unique creature. Here is the blog post about it and other demigods.

Or do you want even more? I'm afraid it's more than unlikely...

Is it Monday yet...looks at watch...not even close.

I loved the dragons we were shown. All of them. I like the focus on the extremes, too rather than neutrals. Really good art and original concepts for each, IMO.
The Blights were even better, though! Love the thought of scheming oozes bent on destruction of civilization. Beware of what squishes! It is very aware of you.

Will the Azi ever make their way into a Bestiary? Poor Gandareva, Sruvara and Zahhak... =/

If they ever do bring the Azi into a hardcover bestiary hopefully they add more types.

I'd love to have a chance to update the azi, but I haven't been able to slip them in anywhere yet.

I always knew Flumphs were good and noble and friend shaped.

yesssss

Those, along with the ephialtes kyton, are some of my most eagerly-awaited reprints. ^_^

Azi???

Really powerful curse spewing dragons from the Legacy of Fire bestiaries.

One of my favorite groups of dragon creatures, one that I would really like to see expanded to numbers such as those of drakes and linnorms.

I also like the fact that they were created by Dahak and the Lord of All Divs together. ;)

Really powerful curse spewing dragons from the Legacy of Fire bestiaries.

Thanks.

Np ^w^

I can't wait to find out what is in here that hasn't been talked about or revealed in anyway...yet.

Prediction: giant water bear.

*disclaimer this guess is based on absolutely no facts.*

Getting closer!!!

Also based on dragons from Persian mythology.

Looks like the Blighted Fey template from the Inner Sea Bestiary is going to be in volume 6, since that is referenced in the most recent AP volume.
