Mine finally arrived in the UK. Does everyone else have a sort of washed out yellow colour for the spine, front cover logos and back cover background?
While I admit that does nothing to really spoil the book it looks 'off' when sat next to the other core books on the shelf.
I suspect it is not a design choice as even the pathfinder logo, second edition tag, and colour around the title are yellow rather than parchment.
Yes, my copy finally arrived in Germany yesterday, and I've noticed the same color difference in comparison with all the other ruleboooks.
The special edition version is a slightly different red than the other three SE books, I agree. More importantly, the wife, who is a both a full-time artist and a big art nerd, sees the same thing!
You can see the difference here.

Weird, mine is way less “yellow” than yours, even if I see a slight discoloration when put beside the other books... Maybe the printer had trouble with the red color... :x
Did anyone figure out why the dullahan has a DC 22 for its death calling ability, and not DC 19? It has 10 HD and Cha 18. It doesn’t even have Ability Focus for the +2, which would still only make the ability DC 21. Frightful Presence is at least DC 19.
Wrong bestiary 2. This is PF2 one! :X

Weird. I couldn't access it on my phone so I had to try get to it through Google, and it showed the 1e cover on the link. I've since found the other bestiary 2 and posted the question there.

Oh, that’s weird. Good thing you found the right one though! (And even better that you weren’t a new buyer that would have ended up with the wrong book!)
I've been trying to download the PDF file to get access to my purchase but it merely says "preparing download." Using 3 different browsers (chrome, edge, firefox), no difference. Anyone familiar with this issue?

Could be a site loading issue. Definitely new to me. You'll likely have to contact Customer Service tomorrow.

Some standard ways to try shaking loose the download
a) Click "Problems downloading this file? Click here" (on same line as file name)
b) Click "Refresh Downloads" button (upper left corner of the downloads page)
c) Clear browser cache (for each browser)
d) Sign out of Paizo, clear Paizo cookies (for each browser), sign in again.
It took ages to react (only displaying "Personalizing... Click link again in 60 seconds to download" and apparently got stuck), cleared the cache, but it did not even work with a TOR browser. However for some reason, it worked now, thanks a lot! I am really excited to finally take a look at it.

Hm. Does the current pdf reflect these errata?

Most likely not. PDF will most likely be updated around second printing of the book I think.

The Crawling Hand has an ability called Grip Throat:
"A Medium or smaller creature that is grabbed by the crawling hand has difficulty speaking and must spend an extra action to perform any action with the verbal trait."
However, there is no such thing as a "verbal" trait.
Did the author mean "any action with the auditory trait", or did they mean "any spell with the verbal component"?

It is likely the author of this monster misremembered that there is a trait called 'verbal' in the game, and that it affects all actions involving speech. After taking a look at the auditory trait and verbal component, I think RAI is that Grip Throat affects both of them. That is how I'll rule it at my table anyway.
(BTW, I'm a big fan of Crawling Hand, and my 1E adventures often featured both versions -- plus my own home-brewed Crawling Hand Swarm. I have not used them in 2E yet, but I recently acquired three Giant Crawling Hand minis that I'm just itching to use... :))
What's the difference between a Giant Crawling Hand and a Crawling Giant Hand?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
One is a crawling hand that became giant and the other is a giant's hand that started to crawl.
Does anybody know if they ever did a physical second printing of the Bestiary 2?
Now that it's deprecated in favor of the Remaster, I'm looking to get a kind of archival copy for my library.
Not as far as I know. The PDF was never updated.Does anybody know if they ever did a physical second printing of the Bestiary 2?

Good to know. Thanks!
Is there a list somewhere of which artist illustrated which monster? The first edition bestiaries had artist credits along the edge of the page, but sample pages I've seen of the PDFs for the PFRPG 2E bestiaries don't seem to have that information. I'm not finding it on the Archives of Nethys pages for the monsters, either.

There is no public list of that sort.
