Devotees of the gods, cunning mercenaries, fun-loving performers, crafty engineers, devious villains and more all have roles in your game with the Pathfinder NPC Core! Over 250 stat blocks for NPCs let you drop all kinds of characters into your game, from servants and farmers to masters of magic and martial arts. The NPCs are crafted to be fun and easy to use, with sets of adjustments to quickly change their ancestry, level, and more. You'll also find a trove of NPCs specific to non-human ancestries, like a dwarf general, goblin get-gang, and kobold egg guardian. Each section of NPCs is themed, and includes lore, custom rules, and random tables to spice up your gameplay. Never find yourself making up statistics on the fly again—you can find everything you need in the Pathfinder NPC Core!
This deluxe special edition is bound in faux leather with metallic deboss cover elements and a bound-in ribbon bookmark.

Will this have the same cover theme as the other Special Edition "Core" books? I guess I understand both ways (and know the current image could be a placeholder), but having just one book with the word "Core" in it that doesn't share the theme of the others just feels wrong.
Feels kind of bad to pay extra for the Special Editions for a consistent theme when the sketch covers seemed to be the way to go for consistency.
