Which books have settlement stats?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion

Scarab Sages

I use the settlement rules a lot, they really help make every city a bit more distinct. I'm getting ready to send our planewalkers to Golarion and I'm not sure which books have the settlement statblocks. Anyone out there able to point me in the right direction?

I need Absalom and some of the Shackles communities for sure, anything else I can get my hands on is a bonus.

Thanks!


The Inner Sea World Guide is good for general information usually. For the Shackles in particular, Isles of the Shackles and various parts of the Skulls and Shackles AP have information on various settlements.


I actually went looking for these a while back, and frustratingly many sources you'd think might have some settlement stat blocks do not. The Inner Sea World Guide doesn't have any, and neither does Cities of Golarion. The only campaign setting product I could find that has any settlement statblocks was Distant Shores, which covers exotic locations beyond the Inner Sea.

If you want settlement statblocks, then adventure paths seem to have more of them than any other product line. However, most adventure paths have only 1 statblock in their appendix. A few have 2, some have none, but the bottom line is that there's no single product you can buy that has a treasure trove of city statblocks in it (other than Distant Shores).


Most of the newer campaign setting books detailing regions have a few stat blocks in them. Honestly though, they are all scattered about.

Pathfinder Chronicles: Guide to Absalom would be my guess for Absalom. I don't have it to verify they included stat blocks back then. IIRC, the Guide to Korvosa does have stats for Korvosa, though I can't check it right now to verify.

Yes, the Guide to Absalom has a full statblock for that city. ^^
