Bow Down in Fear!

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.
  • Numerous powerful demigods, from archdevils and Great Old Ones to empyreal lords and qlippoth lords.
  • New animal companions and other allies, such as fierce devil monkeys and loyal clockwork hounds.
  • New templates, including the entothrope and the mongrel giant, to help you get more life out of classic monsters.
  • Appendices to help you find the right monster, including lists by Challenge Rating, monster type, and habitat.
  • Expanded universal monster rules to simplify combat.
  • Challenges for every adventure and every level of play.
  • AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!

And i thought i didn't need this one!

5/5

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 shitty 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).


A solid addition

4/5

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.


Upward Trend

5/5

A wide variety of creatures with overall high quality artwork. I like the inclusion of the numerous high CR creatures.

Bestiary 5 and 6 have been my favorite Bestiary books by far.


Unusable

1/5

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.

Rysky, what's your impression of Szuriel? Did the horsemen get new art? What's your favorite art for them? I was specially waiting to get your opinion on Szuriel. =)


also, since I just read a dozen pages and saw something I should experiment with, why all this talk about Smurfs on the Bestiary 6 page?

That might actually be the number one creature I'm looking forward to, considering my love of Mesoamerican myth. MMCJawa said this version resembled a Spinosaurus, Rysky, does it have a sail?

I can tell you it was fun to write Arshea. It's a niche that we don't usually get to work with (at least not with a good-aligned creature).

Deathsnatcher is interesting, and oooooo, the Lilitu got new artwork too!

Is it the same artist as the one who did the new Erodaemon art?

Well, it started with this post about how the yaddithian looked like a Smurf villain.

People kept replying with the quotes in place, so the entire conversation was Smurfed, and then a contributor wondered what the Smurf was going on with all the Smurf avatars, so a few of us decided to Smurf the explanation to the point of Smurfing the Smurf to the Smurf.

I want to roll the Infernal Dragon on his side and give him tummy wubs.

Until he grabs my hand and starts biting and kicking. At which point I will give him more tummy wubs.

Kamaitachi:
CE Medium sized weasels with sickles instead of feet. It has a personal wind wall effect, causes bleed and pain damage with the wounds it inflicts, and can delay any damage it does for up to two weeks.

They have sickles instead of feets, not bigass claws, someone literally taped/shoved some sickles to their legs. Or falcatas if you want to go statwise. They can also fly really fast and are pretty much immune to ranged attacks.

They're also dicks.

They like to chop people up. And they're really good at it. BUT when they chop you they can decide that you only get chopped or lose your entrails at a later date of their choosing. At any time. And it can stack this ability as many times as it wants. So you don't have the damage it does, so you can't heal it. Ifit keeps flyby swiping you over a day... And then the next day SPLOOCH. Instant gibs. Remember when I said they fast? Good luck getting a mile away from them.

They like doing this to force the victim or their loved ones to do horrible stuff, and then they usually kill the victim anyway.

They're dicks.

** spoiler omitted **

And they are enormous jerks about that last ability. They were twisted fun to write, and I think fey really fits their mo pretty well.

EDIT: Rysky has covered why and in what way they are jerks.

Ooo, Proteans. Angry Protean is Angry. And Smol. Which is new for the top Outsider of a group I believe (it's actually Medium).

The others must be singing out of tune.

Hmm, I wonder who came up with the first Summon Ourdivar spell, since they only exist when they are summoned, but if they didn't exist no one would know or make a spell to summon them...

Stupid Proteans, breaking reality and shit.

And it's tall. Taller than me.

And skinny. Too skinny, it shouldn't be able to support itself with that.
