Pathfinder Kingmaker Bestiary (5E)

Now available for preorder!

Note: This could also be called a "conversion guide" for the full book. There's no "PF2 version" cause that's only translating things that are missing in the target system, so the book for the Adventure Path already have all this content for PF2 (or an existing PF2 bestiary does).

Back cover text:

HERE THERE BE MONSTERS!
From feral beasts to supernatural spirits from the realm of fey, the Kingmaker Adventure Path forces heroes to test their might against hundreds of foes—be they bandit lords, evil kings, or demigods. This book presents rules for many monsters and villains, along with traps, hazards, and potential allies compatible with any 5E game. Challenge your heroes while playing through the Kingmaker Adventure Path or a campaign of your own design!

CONTENT WARNING
The Pathfinder Kingmaker Adventure Path, Pathfinder Kingmaker Bestiary (5E), Pathfinder Kingmaker Bestiary (First Edition), and Pathfinder Kingmaker Companion Guide contain typical Pathfinder action and adventure, player options, creatures, and more. They also include content related to child abuse and neglect, graphic depictions of torture and violence, substance abuse, and other themes that are appropriate for more mature audiences. Before you run this adventure or use any of the supplementary sourcebooks, understand that consent from everyone at the table—including the players and the Game Master—is vital to a safe and fun play experience. You should talk with your players before beginning the adventure and modify descriptions or events as appropriate.

I'm guessing this only covers monster/npc conversion to the 5e rules. Any notes on treasure management for 5e games?

As you can see above, it also includes companions, traps and hazards, but rewards are left to the GM.

Are there plans to do this with other Adventure Paths such as Rise of the Runelords, Shattered Star, or Return of the Runelords?

I understand. My hope would be that the sale of the product goes well enough to do so for other highly popular Adventure Paths like the ones I mentioned above.

Will this have a PDF version?

Will this have a PDF version?

Yes, as a backer, I already have it, and will most likely go on sale on October 26, like all the other Kingmaker PDFs.

Thanks for this product! I haven't had time to read anything in detail yet since I'm very busy this time of year. I didn't notice any skill conversion section. Is in not really needed, or did I miss it. Thanks for any info on this.Looking forward to running this next year!

Does include conversion rules for the kingdom building portion of the adventure?

would this include all the companions in the companion guide?

Yes

"Chapter 4: Companions

The Kingmaker Companion Guide presents full statistics for seven traveling companions the PCs can encounter during the course of the campaign. Each of these companion NPCs have been designed as if they were player characters, and are presented below with two different stat blocks—one as they appear at 1st level when they’re likely to be first encountered, and one at a higher level equal to the level of the adventure associated with them in the Kingmaker Companion Guide. Of course, if one of these companions joins your players’ group and spends time adventuring with them, you should feel free to level them up as you see fit.

"You can also use these companions as replacement characters in the case of an unexpected PC death, or as NPCs with entirely different stories to tell in campaigns of your own devising.

"See the Kingmaker Companion Guide for more details on each of the following characters."

Does include conversion rules for the kingdom building portion of the adventure?

No, because the Kingdom Building rules are designed to not need converting.

There is a Hazards and Traps section but not a skill conversion section. The stat blocks for creatures include 5E skills, however.

Is there errata or patch notes for this book? e.g. Nugrah has Pathfinder spells in his stat block.

I would just make summon monster into summon beast, or swap it for a different 1st level spell.

Does this include all creatures in Kingmaker, even the ones originally found in the beastiary?

It includes all the monsters and NPCs and hazards in the Adventure Path and Companion Guide that aren't in the 5E SRD.

One thing that I am really surprised by is the lack of a skill DC conversion chart. That would be immensely helpful. Not every check is a monster or hazard. If there is simple math I could do I wouldn't mind but the pf2e skills system does not seem linear or easy to convert on the fly.

This is incredibly easy to do. Simply determine what the difficulty is (or what you want it to be) and assign the value below, adjusted up or down a point or two as you see fit:

Very easy 5
Easy 10
Medium 15
Hard 20
Very hard 25
Nearly impossible 30

Hi,, i have the campaign books from 1e as are the only ones in spanish does this book works with the original campaign and also is there a translation?

This book has some additional creatures not in the original release, but it would broadly work, I suppose.

There have been no plans for a translation announced.
