In the description of Whirlwind ability in the Bestiary it says that it only effects creatures one size smaller than the creature using whirlwind. However in the bestiary 2 printing and online this limitation has been replaced with a creature may have only as many creatures in the whirlwind as contained within its volume.

Which of these is correct? I had assumed that the more recent ruling and book would suggest that the ruling on the pathfinder srd and in bestiary 2 are correct but I wanted to make sure.


Without other guidance (such as an errata), you want to use the most recent publication. Note that this isn't always the most recent book; they will often update problems in a book in a future printing.

The average human being takes up between 2 and 5 cubic feet.

A small air elemental whirlwind (20' tall, 10' diameter width at the top) can hold 523.6 cubic feet within its whirlwind.

Think about that for a moment.
