1e bestiaries compatible with Pathfinder 2.0?


Prerelease Discussion

Silver Crusade

While most of the Pathfinder 1.0 books will be rendered obsolete with the release of Pathfinder 2.0 I can't imagine not being able to carry some of the older books into Pathfinder 2.0 (e.g Ultimate Equipment) What about the bestiaries? Will those of us with up to six(!) hardback bestiaries on their shelves be able to use them in Pathfinder 2.0 or are we re-purchasing our entire RPG libraries?


If we get a system for fast building of monsters it would be relatively easy to adapt what you need. Im very much hoping for this sort of ruleset..


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I hope they find a new name.

It’s a real pain (if you don’t get in on the ground floor) trying to piece together RPG systems that use the same titles for sourcebooks across multiple editions.

They will not be usable. The whole point of making a new edition rather than just errata and other small changes is to not be chained by backwards compatibility.


Your bestiaries will be almost completely compatible, with the exception of small things like statblocks and challenge ratings.
