Pathfinder Tokens: Bestiaries (Foundry VTT)

I love the look of those tokens, and how they pop out of the frames. But how well does it mesh with walls and line of sight? Will wings of dragons clip trough the walls? Or will they just be "cut off" when the dragon is too close to the wall?

Will the players see angel wings before the angel token is in their line of sight?

A wall that blocks line of sight, will block parts of the monster that extend beyond that wall when using vision. So yes, it "clips" through the a wall but visually it is "cut off" for everyone except the GM (who by default doesnt have vision enabled on NPCs).

Also note that foundry can use a foreground, in which case the foreground covers the base layer, meaning if you use a map with walls built into the foreground then this will "cut off" the art when too close to that wall.

And Players will not see the breakout until they can see the grid the token is actually in. So if the wings extend beyond a corner but you can't see around that corner yet, you won't see the wings until you are able to see around the corner where the creature actually is. As soon as you have vision for one of the grids the token actually is in then you'll see the monster and the wings in this case.

These are awesome and I'd love to see the PF1 bestiaries done in the same way.

Any plans to do this with the pf1e bestiaries?

I would guess no, because the team that did this very specifically works with the PF2 system on Foundry. This was not a Paizo project it was a PF2 Foundry dev team project.

Amazing Pack. Doubly amazing in light of what other companies are doing right now.

Could we also have a icon pack for the upcoming Treasure vault? Love you all @Paizo.

Also Icon Variants for Class+Race would be an instant buy.

I would purchase this product, except I don't like the "tokenized" images. We use full-profile images just like those available from the pawn PDFs Paizo sells.

These are full body tokens

The pack also come with "raw"* full body images, both for using it as "portraits", and for making your own tokens from it.

* Here by "raw" I mean the full body arts without the token ring.

As far as I know (and I could be wrong here), there isn't any auto-mapping ability in this module for 5E.

there is now. :)

DND5e and Toolkit-13 (13th age compatible) game systems now support a similar mapping method so we've provided mapping files. :)

Nice! I'm happy to be wrong for a change!

Hell, yes! Finally!

I love the tokens!
Thanks for your work and I hope this sells well, I'm waiting for the NPC gallery!

If you want to use that art as the tokens, it shouldn't be hard to manually assign them as tokens. They just won'T nbe auto-mapped like that. So would still be a great source of unique images for every single "bestiary" monsters.

Thank you.

Are those tokens the same as in AV module? Or are they even better?

Same team makes them so similar quality, but much more expansive, covering all three bestiaries and all variants.

Dont Get Me wrong I love, L O V E, LOVE this product theres just 1 problem or, several hundred problems. there are over 600 missing monsters and entries in this pack . double the price for all i care id pay 120 dollars if it meant i was actually getting all the tokens . also where are 4 5 6? that contributes another missing 900 entries . make it $160 or more whatever you need to profit decently we just want it all. I understand it takes time but cmon. youre the greatest tabletop company Of all time. im sure you guys will get around to finishing it up and we'll be waiting with $160 with paizos pretty name on it. love you guys .

This is a PF2E product. There are no missing Bestiaries 4, 5, and 6, because no such PF2E products exist. Which makes me suspect that the 600 missing monsters you speak of also don't exist (were you looking and PF1E Bestiaries 1, 2, and 3?)

Hi,

By purchasing the tokens, can we use it as well in Foundry VTT for pathfinder 1E or this is only possible to use it with pathfinder 2E?

Thanks

Not sure, but I think you can use them for whatever game you want.

The tokens are usable however you want, but they're only automatically mapped for a handful of systems.

What missing monsters? Great pains were put into making sure every monster and every variation is included. As another user asked, are you thinking of PF1e even though this is a PF2e product?

Thanks,

That's ok as long as I can use it for pathfinder 1E, then I'll complete manually for whatever is missing (if required).

No they are right, in foundry their are plenty of monsters/creatures/humanoids you can search in the PF2E compendiums that dont have tokens or art made up. I think a couple I used recently were wolf skeleton and a prophet. Both of which are not in the pack. One is from the NPC Gallery and the other is from Book of the Dead. Now obv those are not part of the Bestiary 1-3 but they are auto included with PF2E system. So thats prob where the confusion comes from

This very clearly states it is only for the Bestiaries.

With the recently announced PF2e remaster, specifically for the Monster Core. Will this FoundryVTT module be updated as well? Will we need to buy a separate one for the Monster Core? Thanks!

Depends. I think the real question here is whether the monsters in the new book will get all new artwork, making them look completely different.

We play both PF2e and 5e, on loading I am seeing overhead tokens, not ring tokens.

The images and such show ring tokens. Has this changed? Does it load one type for 5e and another for P2e (which I don't have loaded to check).

Sounds like you haven't disabled 5e's default tokens! Make sure you do so in the system settings to use the ones from this module.

Was just about to buy this when you made this really good point. Could we get any word on this? Would totally buy it if I knew an update/discount would apply for when Monster Core releases. I know this is not made by Paizo so it could get murky; just don't want to essentially pay double if there will be a "remastered" token set.

Monster Core will cover only Bestiary 1, so even if they do all new art for every single monster in that book (doubtful), there's still 66% valid art in this pack. I also doubt that Paizo or Foundry will delete art for monsters that still exist, especially since they already pulled much of this monster art from PF1e books.

I think it's more likely that there will be new art for the 8 new dragons and whatever's replacing the Otyugh and other OGL monsters, meaning that this token pack might be missing art for a dozen or so new monsters once the new book comes out.

I would love to hear from Paizo if there's plans to add the new monster art to this token pack as well, but it should be a minor inconvenience at most.

Also please do more of these in the future (NPCs, monsters from setting books, etc.), I love having all this high quality art!

We see your questions. We are in conversation with our partner. We don’t have details to share, yet.

We don't yet know how broad the changes will be when Monster Core releases- we'll be evaluating when we get closer to that knowledge, but I'd personally feel pretty bad if we didn't find some way to update this for users who purchased it.

When we know more about how that's going to go we'll be sure to get the word out.

As a current owner, I would have little issue paying for an "upgrade" that would reflect the new/updated art in the Monster Core and the time/effort required to add it in.

Same here - you should be paid for your work, and happy to purchase an upgrade when the time arrives. The tokens are excellent.

Purchased! Thank you! Fingers crossed for an NPC collection!

A question about how to use this pack- if I want to give, for example, the Ogre warrior token to a named NPC, how would I go about doing so? The file structure is such that I can't see how to easily extract the picture for that purpose.

Foundry module files are stored in C:\Users\[YOURWINDOWSUSERNAMEHERE]\AppData\Local\FoundryVTT\Data\modules\pf2e-tokens-bestiaries

If you can't find the AppData folder, make sure you have "Show Hidden Items" turned on in Windows Explorer (should be a check box on the View tab).

If you want to assign a token to a creature in Foundry, you should be able to click on the Browse Files button for the file path, navigate up a few levels to the Data\modules folder, and find the picture you want to use. The Default Monster portrait is in [...]\Appdata\Local\FoundryVTT\Data\systems\pf2e, for example.

Thebazilly makes a common but erroneous assumption. Not everyone runs a Windows computer.

Will we ever get something like this that includes enemies from Dark Archive or Book of the Dead?

Are there any plans to update this product for FVTT 11?

Are there any updates on plans for tokens for other books?

I find these extremely useful and would love to eventually have tokens for all Pf2e books

No announcements at this time. We have the Monster Core in March of 2024 to consider. The team who makes the tokens is focused on completing Abomination Vaults (Edit: KIngmaker), I believe.

Will this be updated to include monster core, monster core 2, monster core 3 when those come out?

...AV's Foundry module has been out for over a year, now. Did you perhaps mean Kingmaker?

Wait, I thought they are just "updated" creatures, not different? They would just need a mapping, no?

The Monster Core books won’t have any OGL monsters, so a lot are getting replaced/different art, thus why people are curious if this purchase is getting updated as well.

There will also be entirely new creatures, including the new dragons.

From my vantage point at least, this product is currently marketed as "you get all the token art for pathfinder in foundry". I fully intend for my group to use only Orc-based non-OGL monsters from the new bestiaries when they come out.

I would assume that since this product likely contains ogl content, that Paizo will stop selling this in its current form just like the current rulebooks once the new ones come out. This is understandable.

I understand not updating the PDF's for the remaster , as I expect the majority of the text will be fresh and new since far more is being improved than removing ogl content. While I understand that the amount of new art would be significant, most of what is in the bestiaries won't need updating.

For myself, and I suspect for many others, it will be a hard pill if purchasing this token pack becomes obsolete. Paizo would have another $60 dollars of my money right to help pay for development, if Paizo can state intent to honer this purchase for the updated bestiaries. $60 dollars is asking users to nearly double the total cost to add the token packs on top of their pdf collection of the same content. I do believe that is justified, but only once.

Right now the decision is buy what may be a doomed product, or have no token art in foundry for pf2 until long after all the new bestiaries are available.

I myself will be waiting, which means my players' pathfinder experience until new one is available will be worse than it could have been for no reason.

I would venture to guess that since this product is relatively new, the number of people that have already purchased it who _may_ choose to re-buy later is small. I don't see many people buying this between now and remastered token pack anyways. I'd bet that a statment promising to honer this purchase would have little to no reduction in long term revenue, and get a boost right now.

I'll be waiting patiently and checking this page's description for any updates.
