Monstrous

5/5 —

Follows Bestiary 1 and 2. A lot of fun new creatures.

5/5 —

Yup, it's a bestiary alright

5/5 —

5 stars for the Wayne Reynolds art on the cover.

Core bestiaries truly feel complete now

4/5 —

So with this book, almost all major creature groups from 1e are in(I think missing ones are Manasaputra, Nightshades, Demodands, and my favorite Gigas that I will never give up upon ;D I mean I do want Azi back but they haven't been seen since 3.5) and almost every summon monster spell has something to summon for spell levels 1-10. You can really see why they said this is final of core bestiaries.

I took month to review this book since I was for some reason not as excited about this book after getting it than up to its review and I wanted time for hype and such to set down so I would figure out why and I think its combination of three things: 1) there is bit of feeling of emptiness to know that this is the "final core bestiary" even though obviously there will be more bestiary entries in future even if they come in different form 2) first two bestiaries were extremely exciting with second one being even more exciting for me than the first one, so that kinda set up even higher expectations for me for third one 3) since this is third bestiary, some inconsistencies I were willing to ignore in first two ones(such as remorhaz entry vs frost worm entry) are harder to ignore here just because its third one.

Now I don't say book is worse because of my art nitpicks, far from it, its still great book with great art, monsters, lore and mechanics. I think its only fault really comes down to "Its kind of what you'd expect for rounding up core bestiaries". I mean of course for me there is the uncanny feeling of "oh my favorite monsters look really different in art now" for some of them, but I don't think that is really that major thing here. Thing is that sometimes good bestiary is just good bestiary, it doesn't always need to be "greatest bestiary ever!" and other superlatives, with this book 2e has majority of its old bigger content back and new cool things as well and its swell. So thats why I think 4 stars is pretty appropriate, its great book, but not every great book needs to be 5 stars.

That doesn't prevent me from nitpicking things though x'D:
Okay so already posted my full nitpick list on the message board so I'm only going to bring up stuff that sticks out to me still month later. So that means no bringing up "but aww 1e version of this art was really cool" or "I think its weird that this monster looks bit different now" or "I thought picture is great but needs more colorful palette" nor "Nikaramsa entry didn't confirm my theory they are result of Sarenrae's mistake to smite Gormuz!" If ye want to know my full first impression nitpick list, just read that instead xD

Its really hard to tell when the monster is supposed to have new appearance and when its just case of artist being different when monster description is same as in 1e. Like Galvo in 1e was basically humanoid swarm of eels and its physical description sounds same here, but art looks like one big heel humanoid.

This is big deal to me since lot of gm just look at monster picture without actually reading their lore ^_^; Though in this case at least the swarm form ability will remind them of there being something weird about galvo's case.

Some of lore entries feel inconsistent with 2e's development, android article kinda makes it sound like Technic League is still around. Like sure yeah androids in 2e are still bit paranoid of other people because of past history, but they aren't forced to hide themselves to same degree now that Technic League has broken down.

Then there are things like Kami not speaking Senzar and Nagaji not having their own language from 1e. Its bit hard to tell if that is change on purpose or case of language being so obscure it got forgotten. Senzar hasn't gotten mentions in 2e yet outside of society scenarios I think so it could have gotten removed(it wasn't mentioned in starfinder kami either), but if it is still a thing, it SHOULD be in kami's entries. But I do think it is plausible that senzar was just removed completely in 2e, but I guess we'll see eventually.

That last one might sound like minor nitpick, but its same situation as necril in 1e or sinspawns and thassilonian. So 3.5 RotR bestiary entry sinspawn and rune giants spoke thassilon, but generic setting bestiary ones didn't, so whenever you encountered sinspawn in thassilonian ruins in 1e pathfinder society, they only spoke aklo because that is what bestiary referred to. Same way no undead ever spoke necril as it was setting specific language making necril pretty useless language to learn. So if senzar still exists, if no kami speaks it then its only useful language to learn if adventure calls it out.

I also nitpick decision to make wolliped be common creature on golarion despite it originating from Triaxus. Like there really wasn't lot of implications in 1e that wollipede existed on golarion outside of triaxus, especially since text implies they have been on golarion for very long now. I would have preferred their presence on Golarion to have been recent development at least even if it was still relatively unknown :p Wollipede being exotic alien animal was part of their appeal in my opinion x'D

Okay nitpicks over, so I'm going to gush about some things I'm really into xD Not everything because that would make this review even longer, but you can assume I loved pretty much everything related to "oh hey this group of outsiders is back now" :p Plus stuff like brain child is what I assume everyone else also likes, so I'm gonna focus on stuff that is particularly up to my taste. I will also add as general rule that I love troop rules being back (and kinda wish splitting oozes had same feature of becoming smaller x'D)

Bone shiiiiiiip and all small details on how it was expanded, like it being decorated with hundreds of soul gems and what its vehicle stats would be like if you pilot it :D

Even after month later, most memorable of "totes not future ancestries" is buso farmer :'D And they are only ones I'm unsure of whether it is meant to be ancestry since it doesn't have "buso" trait. Well anyway, there is something fascinating about culture that results from "Only type of meat these creatures can stomach is meat of sapient humanoids". Like sure they can eat vegetables so they could be vegetarians(and they have plant growing powers), but it still provides interesting questions of how culture such as them has developed.

That said I do dig stheno and all, they also have really cool lore tied to Shelyn and Lamashtu :D But yeah buso stood out to me by weirdness factor.

I do think skelm are one of best new things in the book. They are extremely unpleasant and good avatar of miserable behavior to punch in the face xD

I super duper dig aesthetic of love and hatred siktemporas :D Ouruboros and gurgist mortic art also among my favorites in the book.

Invidual small abilities/details I loved: Nikaramsa's Towering Stance. More details on Forsaken. Kimenhul's new art is great improvement on 1e one. Oh and Bauble Beast. That thing is so doofy xD

I almost always solo run PF2, so I could use that additional level. Technically I could use Level -3 creatures as well, but I think at that point I'd be fighting a housecat with a shotgun.

Pretty much, it'd have to be something weaker than an tiny crawling undead hand.

I've been meaning to go through the Playtest Bestiary myself to see what we have left from it. It'll be interesting to see what makes it and what gets held over for the future of Bestiary-adjacent products. I vote we call then Creature Compendiums. Lol

Got inspired to check that and huh. Devastator, deh-nolo(from starfinder), Star-Spawn of Cthulhu, Valkyrie and Vargouille are only ones I spotted not being in release 2e yet <_<

So seems like they already covered most of playtest huh x'D

Vargouilles are actually found in a PF2 adventure path book, though curiously not in the adventure toolbox, but right in the middle of the adventure.

They were all decided before they announced the book, based on what we know of the Paizo pipeline. Many of the monsters were also probably already written (not edited/copy-fitted though). Actually, the book was sent to the printer some months ago.

I'm really crossing my finger for multiple types of monsters I hope are in this book x'D level 24 monsters, old favorites that never got adapted for 1e, some of really great but obscure ap entries, more categories missing from 2e... I know at this point I can't have them all but I'd really like to :'D

In honor of the imperial dragons coming in the Bestiary 3, what's everyone's favorite type of dragon? Mine are the Imperials and the Lincoln, both are so flavorful that I'm eager to worldbuild around them.

Yeah, those lanky, bearded dragons with the top hats are the best! They usually score four times as much damage on PCs. :)

Oh gawd. I'm suddenly picturing an entire Andoran-native family of dragons: the washington, jefferson, roosevelt, lincoln, and hamilton dragons. The last of which is extremely popular with bards.

Pathfinder Adventure Path, Lost Omens, Rulebook Subscriber

Imperials for sure. I have so many questions about them I hope to see some answers for in this book. So excited for their inclusion.

Quick question, cause it is bothering me intensely: am I correct in recalling the Stheno, Medusa, and (the eventual) Euryale were given a family name in a stream recently? For some reason, I have this memory that they were, but I can't help but feel sorely mistaken. For some reason, I feel like the term Echidna was used at some point, since their proper name of Gorgon is taken.

Please, send help. My brain has been turned to stone.

The release date keeps sliding to the future. Do we know if April 7th is the final date? I have put my Shattered Star finale on freeze so that I can use all the sweet clockworks from this book.

I wonder if this still will be part of March's rulebook subscription? Maybe that changed since the release date moved?

Unless I'm mistaken the release date for every March sub item is now April 7. So I would expect that just means the March sub shipment window will be later.

I've seen the change in dates, but has a pushback in the order process been confirmed? It would be great to know if the order date is still set for March 11th or if that's been moved back to March 18th. And will this push back orders for future months? As far as I can tell April releases still carry an end-of-April release date.

I know you don't speak for the company but I'm wondering if perhaps I've missed an official announcement somewhere.

Hey folks. There has been no official announcement yet, but as you can see on our Release Date page (https://paizo.com/releasedate and the footer below) all the non-Org Play releases have been moved to Early April aka April 7. That is just a delay of a week. There is chatter about it on the Customer Service section of the Forums too. Shipments came in late; Chinese new year issues, I think. This does not delay the Late April products at this time. CS, the warehouse, the Paizo Store, and Marketing are getting our ducks in a row and will share more as needed, although I think it is (mostly) clear. I think most of you just want to know if the Auth date will change now. Cheers.

We are indeed waiting for the Bestiary 3 to arrive in our warehouse, among other items. So the next Release Date has been move to April 7 for all the month's print products. The payment Authorization date for subscribers will be March 18. Late April products are not affected at this time.

I can see the Singapore Strait from my window and everything's stuck.

The news says we're turning around ships in 7 days that we used to turn around in 2 days because there aren't enough containers. The period after CNY is usually a slump but it's been jam packed this year and it took everyone by surprise. The books probably went in the opposite direction, but the problem is global.

Yep. Every mode of freight travel is screwed for pretty much the entire year at this point.

To bring this back on topic, have any new tidbits dropped anywhere?

The main pendulum route should be normal by summer.

I don't know what this means for Paizo.

While I'm talking about this, it's really hard to buy Pathfinder books in Singapore. Tianxia probably isn't going to sell, but it would be nice to be able to buy scenarios and rulebooks without having them carried in by visiting expats.

Once a month, but I can say the 3rd Friday or anything of the month yet. This month the street date fell back so we took advantage to fall back too. April will likely be the 16th. We have about 5 minutes for each topic and still can't talk about everything. But that it what cons are for. No May show dues to PaizoCon.

Anyone got their pdf already? Can they comment if the Clockwork Assassin stayed as is from the Agents of Edgewatch adventure or there are changes to it? http://2e.aonprd.com/Monsters.aspx?ID=1004

I am hoping the latter in particular to the Thievery check. It works clunkily in combat, where it is either useless or you just inactivate the opponent completely. Was hoping for something like applying a Clumsy condition instead.

I would be surprised if anyone gets their PDFs before Tuesday. They usually spend Monday sorting out auth errors.

I know that I can wait until my book arrives, but I have a character build in mind for an Ifrit Dwarf. There's several references to Azers on the Elemental Plane of Fire, but I can't find any PF2 specific info on these creatures. *Burning* question is, are Azers included in the Bestiary 3?

Yes.

just letting everyone know, the complete list of creatures in this is now available here , likely excluding a few gargantuan things that can't be made into pawns.

I'm hoping Avorals and Leonals were just missed from the pawn list instead of excluded from the book, as my two favorite agathions (and arguably two of the most iconic) I'd be a bit miffed.
Pathfinder Adventure Path, Lost Omens, Rulebook Subscriber

I've already expressed this on the pawn page, but I'm a wee bit disappointed the Garuda and Peri weren't expanded on any and made into a family of Celestials; similar to how the Kyton/Velstrac were when PF1 was made. I personally don't feel the Celestials receive nearly enough love as say the Monitors and (especially) the Fiends. Making them a proper family of Celestials with similar a structure to the other Immortals would have been nice. Granted, the Peri mythology is a little more "constrained", for lack of a better word; but Garuda has so much lore to pull from to create a variety of different species. We have a total of 10 "true" Fiends, which is how I see any Immortal with various species as being "true" Immortals (similar to "true" Dragons). Currently there are 4 (5 if you count the Manasaputra) "true" Celestials by comparison (and 3 "true" Monitors; but, they are relatively new as far as kinds of Immortals, so I can understand this). Peri and Garuda should be expanded on, imo; and a new Celestial race should be made based around the Buddhist Ten as the Tian-Xia specific Celestials (since their technical aren't any). But, that is just my opinion; that, and I don't even have the book in hand yet. So, I suppose I'm jumping the gun here and may be throughly surprised by the implied lore in their entries. But, I'm pessimistic on that if I'm being honest.
1 person marked this as a favorite.

I think we should look at potentiall usefullness of the creatures printed in the bestiary. I don't think many people would argue that celestials are a very likely enemy to be faced, whereas fiends are a guarantee. I feel it is okay to only include some celestials and many more fiends TBH.

Yep. Every mode of freight travel is screwed for pretty much the entire year at this point.

To bring this back on topic, have any new tidbits dropped anywhere?

We'll feature the Bestiary 3 on Paizo LIVE on March 25 with images and spoilers. It was also discussed on the first episode, now on YouTube.
Is Paizo Live on a regular schedule? I may start trying to catch it when I can and doing write ups for the sub, since a lot of people who want news don't watch the streams.
Once a month, but I can say the 3rd Friday or anything of the month yet. This month the street date fell back so we took advantage to fall back too. April will likely be the 16th. We have about 5 minutes for each topic and still can't talk about everything. But that it what cons are for. No May show dues to PaizoCon.
Fair enough, I'll keep an eye out and try to catch it anyway, I enjoyed the VOD of the first one.
I misspoke. The next episode is planned for Friday, March 26.
