Monstrous

5/5

Follows Bestiary 1. A lot of fun new creatures.


5/5


Great addition to 2E

5/5

Bestiary 2 extends the range of Bestiary one critters and adds whole new types creatures. Well worth the money.

I particularly enjoyed all the interesting variants of elementals, from Ember Foxes to Icicle Snakes: so much more than the old small, medium, large elementals of old. This creativeness has been carried throughout.

As with Bestiary 1, great creature backgrounds, treasure notes, and wonderfully varied unique abilities.

Definitely looking forward to more Bestiaries!


Buy This Book (1 Action) [Concentrate, Mental, Awesomeness]

5/5

You look upon this book and see the sickest cover art and note the plethora of awesome monsters within it. Non-purchasers must attempt a DC 100 Will save.

Critical Success: The non-purchaser will buy this book and will love it.

Fantastic

5/5

Utterly fantastic. Loved the sidebars, the artwork, and the mechanics. It has a ton of monsters that were in Pathfinder 1st Edition making the book great for converting adventures to 2nd Edition, along with new monsters and lore. I especially love the fey creatures and animals.

I also thought that was a wyrmwraith when I first saw it, but if you look carefully, it isn't incorporeal.

Oh right I forgot we got two undead dragons like that in Pathfinder.

It's a Ravener I'm guessing.

(I forgot the name of Ravener and had been calling them Wyrmwraiths this whole time XD)


Those are like dracoliches correct?

Silver Crusade

Yep-yep.

A dracolich by any other name would still make you dead. :)


Are there any Clockworks in there? My group is nearing the finale of the (heavily abridged) Shattered Star AP and that part is full of clockworks. I previously made my own stats, but I am sure Paizo will come up with something cooler (as they have proven in the incredible Bestiary 1)


Nice


Apologies if i missed it--but did this release get delayed? PDF option still not available


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

It's not out until May.


Doh, thanks for pointing that out.


Is this supposed to be released for Paizo con?

There is no PaizoCon this year, but it would have been out in PDF 2 days after the con. Definitely would have been available at the Con.


I'm wondering when are we going to start seeing previews for this one.

Probably closer to when they can guarantee a release schedule. We'll have to see how this month's shipping works out, since everything is so wonky right now.

I assume by the lack of stated delays on this book that it's already printed. I could be way wrong though.

Will there be hippogriffs?


hooray

Liberty's Edge

hate to jump on the "will there be..." but I'm so curious if darkmantles made the cut for this bestiary.
I ran a 2E version of hollow's last hope a couple week's ago and was bummed there was no officially stated out version for one of the fights I remembered most vividly from many years ago ago for that module.


Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

So does anyone have a theory about what will be the highest level monster in this Bestiary?

Name and level?

Mine based on the description is the Jabberwock level 23.
But I am hoping for something that is level 25.
Right now we have Treerazer and Tarrasque, i would live to see something else of that level of power, but I know that is probably unlikely.

So what about you all, what high level creature would you like to see as the highest level monster in this book?

We should know in a few short weeks!

Hopefully Paizo will be able to start orders next week some time and shipping the week after that.

In 1st edition perhaps. In 2nd edition...

Azatas are carefree fey-looking glowing creatures, often with pointed ears; they're swashbucklers and partiers.

Angels are often androgynous, often have halos, and have wings and generally wear light or no armor; they're messengers and guides.

Archons are heavily armored; they're soldiers and defenders.

I was hoping all the various Celestial races had their various kinds of warriors with their own preferred way of battling evil. I'm hoping there are some Azata dedicated to overthrowing tyrants and Angels dedicated to championing good against the armies of fiends.

I’ve been a little out of the loop recently— did the prices drop on the hardcover rulebooks? I don’t remember them being this low before.

?? You mean for summon monster spell or something?

...Do monsters need to be legalized for summon monster spells? Huh never thought about that


ya

I could be wrong but I think that the option has to be sanctiones before it can be used for PFS.

Dark Archive

I think we saw the first monster preview from Bestiary 2 in the latest episode of Band of Bravos... and it was a venomous encounter, to say the least! :)

Silver Crusade

Nice.

Right? I can't remember, but I feel like I was dead certain it was going to be in this.

Grand Lodge

Can't wait for this to come out.


So I finally finished watching the lastest Band of Bravos session and it seems (let's wait for confirmation on friday) that Cave Fisher is also a possibility in this new bestiary.


I am looking forward to new dinos.

Oh man, I love me assassin vines. You really can just throw them in any encounter or campaign.

Jason's Twitch. He was streaming the prep for Band of Bravos a few days ago, it should be in archived videos, there are some B2 spoilers there - not, it's not a "B2 preview" video, it's more of "I'm prepping a game and oooh Assassin Vines, yep, they're in B2".


Looks like a preview has popped up on YouTube:
