5/5

Seriously. This is seven years of Wayfinder magazine bestiary entries collected into one volume. 181 pages of new, original monsters. They range from the CR 1/4 creamfoot fennec (a cute little animal and new familiar option) to the massive CR 30 mawagetebab'dly (try saying that five times fast) which is a kaiju version of a hydra (!!!). There are monsters included here that are perfect for all terrains, various lands in Golarion, and suitable as encounters for various Paizo adventure paths. This is a resource a good GM should not pass up. Best of all, it's produced under the community use rules and therefore--FREE! Why would you not get this?


7 years worth of monsters

5/5

And it's now in glorious color!

This is a truly beautiful product made by a wide assortment of wonderful people, both writers and artists, some who were able to break into the RPG market because of Wayfinder giving a spotlight on their creativity and dedication.

Collecting from 15 issues of Wayfinder there is no rhyme or reason here, similar to Paizo's Bestiarys, just a whole f*%!ton of cool monsters to throw at your players and to help you shape adventures. And even better, it's free.


It's actually really good

5/5

So today is 6/1/17 and I downloaded this, just to see what the good kids of Wayfinder have done. Because of this Bestiary, I went out and got the other wayfinders that I didn't have.

Went through and read every entry in the last few hours.

Art is on the good scale. Some I don't care for, but that's just an art style choice.

Most of the writing and the monsters are pretty good. Edit here and there, but nothing distracted from my reading.

The layout. (there is a scene from High Fidelity where Jack Black is listening to a demo tape of the band, cringes and says) "It's really freaking good."
I'm sure there was some guidance/permission and help on font choice etc because it's pretty close to likeness rights. It's good. Like really good.

These kids are alright in my book.
Well done.

Gonna take a lil break, still got 137 pages to go.

Silver Crusade

Huh, an underground gnarly tumbleweed that empowers oozes. Neat, that'd be fun to put in a dungeon.

Silver Crusade

COBBLESTONE, SMASH!

Or swarm.

Or make a nice pleasant road with few potholes.

Silver Crusade

A hellbound undead template?

*taps fingers*

What can I get up to with this...

Silver Crusade

*reads the Skull Crab*

... that is one is disturbing Death Cult.

Silver Crusade

The Dawn Grappler is interesting (it's only Medium though so I guess we have a problem with Halfling Werewolves?) and I do like how the story calls out that the people who made them were... idiots.

Silver Crusade

Okay since the site inst being wonky anymore, the Thrall of Dagon archetype does pretty much what you'd expect it to do.

Silver Crusade

Annnnnd we got a soul eating undead sandstorm. Well technically the undead is inside said storm but still.

Addiction Devils, aka EVIL motherf#%%ers -_-

Their CR and abilities are just at the right point where they could make interesting reoccurring antagonists.

Silver Crusade

Sneaky Devil weapon stealers!

*glares at Linda*

Silver Crusade

... the Physician Devils remind me of the Physicians from Oglaf.

Silver Crusade

... the Physician Devils remind me of the Physicians from Oglaf.

(do you really only get a single spell from Soulbound Healing? And I'm guessing "any" does indeed mean "any" since the Physician doesn't know that many healing spells.

Wow, this is fantastic.

Just wanted to let you know: The stat block header for Devil, Addiction lists "Diction Devil" which was, in fact, the name of my 8th grade English teacher.

Yes.

1.a) Apply it to Undead.

1.b) Terroize player characters.


Coolness!

Noted! Thanks!

We pushed this one out without the typical final proofing phase we usually do, because we really wanted it to be release for PaizoCon (and, really, 3 years is long enough for a wait, right?).

That said, we expect to have errors pop up, and definitely would like to know about them. We intend to update the PDF at some point in the next couple of months, to fix errors.

Of course, this also means that someone needs to stat up a "Diction Devil."

Mind you a Diction Devil doesn't necessarily mean it has to be an actual devil, it could be a Fey or something...

I'd rather it be a Devil and it's Devil name be Ambrosius.

Every time someone within 30 feet of the diction devil takes an action that involves speaking, they need to succeed at a Linguistics check to use proper diction or take 1d6 nonlethal damage. If this is a spell with a verbal component, the damage requires a concentration check to avoid losing the spell.

I picture a devil armed with a yardstick who thwacks those who use poor grammar or mumble ... but maybe that's just me ... mumble mumble <THWACK>

Hey GarnathFrostmantle, thanks for the review. We did strive to make the layout as close to what one would expect in a Paizo Bestiary. Glad you like it. :)

And thanks also to Rysky for the review, and the running reviews in the comments. Love seeing this kind of stuff. :)

Players, how to know if your GM hates you? Albatrocities.

Yes, I rolled my eyes at that name.

Hee hee. If Stephen King can do it, so can I, right?

In real life, I'm a softie of a GM. I think monster creation lets me indulge the hate evidently boiling beneath the surface.

Just because King did it doesn't mean it's okay.

I will!

... as soon as corporate leaves so I can read on the work computer...


Please don't feel pressured, though. I was mostly joking around and making sure Justin get the credit he deserves.

Oooo the weal and woe of the Sea Wanderer is nice, as is their curse, that would make for an interesting NPC.

And mechanics for souls powering stuff!

Silver Crusade

Seduction Devil.... eh....

(I'm a bit biased there though)

Corruption Devil might have been a bit more accurate, their abilities and intents are a bit all over the place.

Silver Crusade

Hell Piper!

Wouldn't mind seeing a fiddle version :3

If they ever stat up Asmodeus, he should definitely have ranks in Perform (string instruments).

Silver Crusade

Devouring Oasis, yuck. The many flanged maws is disturbing. As is its magical manipulation abilities.

(Editors Note: Tenacious Grapple (Ex) is not bolded)
