Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Bestiary 6 (PFRPG)

Was the CR for the each of the Horsemen and Archdevils already revealed? I don't think so. If not, could someone be kind enough to share it with us?

Now, regarding the Horsemen only, were their illustrations updated? Is Charon's art just like the one in the cover or is it his skeleton-like appearance?

Thanks a lot!

Dude!?! Who's idea was the f~%$ing Lovelorn art!? Jesus that thing is awesome! Like a Kyton's housepet in a Hostel flick.

Can you give us a brief description of what the Lovelorn looks like? For that matter, what kind of a creature is it?

Um amazing and horrifying if you dig videodrome like body horror and at CR 4 it makes it an easy throw for low level encounters. My only regret is that it can't be a familiar. It totally looks like something a follower of Zon-Kuthon would have.

Does the Quetzalcoatlus actually have hair? I would think feathers would be more likely.

Okay, looking over the list there's 3 I saw that are super vague sounding but vague in the way that makes me super curious.

Urhag, super hag? Do we get super Changelings?

The Unrisen.... what is it? Failed resurrection undead? Anti-undead?

The Whisperer? .... what is it? We already have stats for the Mi-Go...

Edit: Well, the Mi-Go was in that story... but maybe something else was there with them...

** spoiler omitted **

P.S. Based on Daigle's interest and their point of origin, I assumed Rougarou are mostly found in Arcadia. Daigle is sort of the "overlord" for that continent, at least seems that way based on posts and such.

Really? From a cursory glance I thought The Whisperer was more like a primal Slender Man, filling a similar niche but in the depth of old primal woods.

Thanks. Anyway to get exact CRs for Horsemen and especially Archdevils? I'm wondering how they sorted their relative power.

Yes? The art sort of implies that they have protofeathers like most modern interpretations but with the inking style I could see someone reading it either way. It reminds me a lot of the art for the Quetzalcoatlus from Saurian, very cool. Sad though that it's ANIMAL COMPANION STATS START IT SMALL AND IT DOESN'T GET LARGE TILL 7TH! That combined with Hard to Train is a royal pain.

Pterosaurs have hair-like integument, which we know from fossil discoveries. Probably similar in appearance to the protofeathers of some dinosaurs, but probably convergently evolved.

Does the titanoboa get anything to make it different from all the other big snakes? And are the megafauna more than just more rhinos and elephants?

Nahh, just a really big constrictor. It has swallow whole if the giant anaconda doesn't get that and the thing is colossal.

I am really enjoying what I see, especially the dinos.

Being from NM, I am happy that they included a creature from our folklore.

Was Diego behind it?

I have a mighty need to know more about the Naiad and Yaddithian! Please?

Seems like any creature that's even remotely big is considered colossal, these days.

Well anything greater than 64' long or tall.

Edit: upon further research, it really should be gargantuan, but it's a fantasy RPG so hyperbole is acceptable to a certain extent.

It's under 50 ft. and if I recall it was estimated at 2,500 pounds, making this the smallest colossal creature that really should've been a high end huge size.

Yeah, should have looked that up before posting.

I don't think much has been said about the Naiad...if anything at all. I am curious too.

I'd like to know about the Mapinguari. The descriptions of that particular cryptid range from "basically a Megatherium" to "too bizarre for words" so I'd like to know what direction was taken with it.

Question for the devs. With the Blight's rejuvenation ability is it supposed to be within his cursed domain? The glossary in the back refers to "cursed terrain" but this is the only reference to such a thing anywhere.

Ask and ye shall receive.

The naiad is cool and basically gets a swim speed and some limited nymph like powers to offer favor to people and the ability to bond with a water feature which empowers them when they are near it.

The Yaddithian is a pretty balanced option that gets cold resistance, no breath, and the ability to use his own mind as a spellbook. Unfortunately, with his tapir nose and bright yellow coloring he kind of looks like a Smurfs villain or the anteater from the old Pink Panther cartoons. Not very mythos'y, not very scary or weird looking, very disappointed in that.

I'm okay with this. I'm planning a mythos inspired starfinder campaign and was going to include them as an alien race.

Mechanically it sounds amazing. Visually it sounds disappointing. I'll wait and see though. :)

Hmm my quoting didn't work right.

And apparently the Yaddithians cast smurf on our avatars.

This was actually my second attempt on that question. I'm sure we all already knew their CR goes from 27 to 30... u.u'

Well... Anyone could answer that? The exact CR for each of the demigods abovementioned?

Thanks a LOT Michelle!

I'm completely satisfied with the CR for these demigods, specially for Geryon, Baalzebul and Apollyon. Actually, I'm pretty much satisfied with the CR for all creatures so far.

Thanks for the CRs, interesting that Barbatos is slightly weaker than Furcas, a subordinate. If it were going to happen anywhere I guess Hell is the place.

Charon's hat

*-*

Which monsters are mythic?

Charnel Gods are the living statues haunted by dead gods mentioned in an earlier product description. When a god dies, sometimes a fragment of their divine power takes root in a graven image of the deity. The process drives them insane, and they particularly hate people who used to worship them (both because such followers remind them of how far they've fallen, and because they need someone to blame for their death). You might recognize the example Charnel God (formerly "a demon lord of the hunt") as a neat reference to a dead deity from the Golarion campaign setting.

Neat reference to a dead deity, hum?

I hope we are not playing with Desna's heart... Are we?

Mordant spire is what came to my mind :P

Charon wearing or not wearing a hat seems small potatoes compared to all the catfolk and hobgoblin variances out there in Pathfinder art :P

Which monsters are mythic?

None.

So here is a question....what distinguishes the Rougarou (fluff wise) from any shifter ???

I mean are they tied to lycanthropic heritage as well ? or it something completely different ?

How many times does the "stop using the word 'fluff', it's derogatory" post needs to be repeated?

We fudge sizes now and then for prehistoric crittters, such as the titanoboa and the giganotosaurus, in order to fit gaps in existing animal sizes and CRs.

So, have the Yaddithians been confirmed as playable aberrations? Just curious, and I didn't see any confirmation anywhere

I'll go ahead and confirm that now. Of course, "playable" is one word for it - when you're older than the campaign setting's civilizations, your mindset may be a little unusual. (The description notes that the Yaddithian presented, a 9th-level wizard, is essentially the baseline for the survivors of the eons-old race.)

Pterosaurs did not have feathers, they had pycnofibers, which are something a little bit like hair, and a little bit like feather, but are neither.

Pathfinder gorillas are 8 feet tall. The largest individual of the largest species of extant gorilla was 6'6". The Adventure Fantasy business demands you scale everything up a bit.

Unfortunately, with his tapir nose and bright yellow coloring he kind of looks like a Smurfs villain or the anteater from the old Pink Panther cartoons. Not very mythos'y, not very scary or weird looking, very disappointed in that.

That's, um, what Yaddithians look like, though.

Possibly until it starts being derogatory, then once more?

What are the CR's for the Clockwork Hound and Clockwork Assassin?

fair 'nuff, but still, 0HD aberration is a good thing in my books, I have.... ideas

Okay, I have to ask. Is there some kind of running gag going here that I don't get, or does having the S words in your post just do that to your avatar?

Short answer is "yes" they are playable and overall on par powerwise with something like the tiefling at best. They make really good mages with an Int & Con bump and Cosmic mind but they've got slow speed and their big ability beyond ageless isn't really useful to a non prep arcane caster.

I'd let someone run one if the game was right. It sure as hell isn't like a drow noble or munvari in terms of power curve.

Yeah, the boards have some program that makes your avatar change if you mention those tiny blue dutch creatures.

The latter. It's been part of the website infrastructure since way back when. ^_^

It was a surprise to me. They smurfed my avatar!

Really? So if you say "smurf" you turn into one? I don't be-

Dang it.
