how hard would it be, in the adventure paths, to have a little annotation next to each creature indicating whether or not there was a pathfinder pawn associated with it and, if so, which set that pawn would be in?
I have quite a few pawns and, currently, when setting up for a game i have to dig through all of my pawns for each monster to see if it is available in pawn form or not.
it would be very handy if next to 'crocodile' in the AP, there was a little notation that said PPB1 for pathfinder pawn, beastiary 1, similar to the notations you have under skills, and feats, and equipment for the different books (UM, UE, UC, etc). it would make my life a little easier.. just sayin'
Harder than you might guess, since we can't create the pawns until all the art has been ordered, and that doesn't happen until the last volume has its art go in, and by that point the first few volumes of an AP have already gone to the printer. We could certainly make educated guesses, but there'd be mistakes.
But beyond that, I am not comfortable with putting something like this in print in the AP, both because it'd clutter up the stat blocks and at the very least add a line of text to each, and I'd rather use those many lines of text for adventure content. Further, I'm wary of giving the implication that you need to buy the pawns to play the adventure, and I suspect there'd be some folks who'd take it this way.
That said, it sounds like a great project for enterprising folks out there on the internet to take under their wing, perhaps, once an AP and its associated pawn set are out?
