Best Bestiaries?


Advice

Verdant Wheel

I have the first Bestiary hardcover, but never considered buying any others until recently.

Which ones would you recommend and in what order and why?

Cheers.


Do you have a fondness for any sort(s) of enemy? Also, the the others seems to have more exotic minsters, plus whatever races were recently focused on.


Bestiary 2 is really good.


I have 1,2 and 3 and found three the most fun.

I also saw someone ask a similar question to this on Reddit where on the 5, 3 was most often top listing but 4 was also pretty popular as I recall.

They each have their own flavor to some extent, some more oriental some more horror, some more Sci-Fi, it might be an idea for you to outline which style of monster most tickles your fancy.

Ok.

Constructs, Devils, Fey, Shadows, Subterranean, Vampires, Undead.

Austere, Criminal, Darkness, Gothic, Intrigue, Nightmare, Splendor.

1, 2 and 3 are pretty cool, although 3 is more focused on Eastern myths, some people don't like that flavor... 4 is pretty "meh" IMO... Mostly because Paizo turned it into a paid advertisement for the then recent Mythic rules. 5 is okay.


I think 4 is alleged to have a lot of Horror style stuff in it and 5 went a bit more sci-fi and nightmareish.
3 is more eastern style.

1 and 2 are the most classical fantasy.

Thanks folks. Picking up 2 and 3. Cheers.


Between my son and I, we own all 5. My faves, and the ones I own, are the 1st, 2nd and 5th. My son bought 3 & 4.
