James - I wanted to respectfully check in on the item below. It's now getting into late spring/early summer and wanted to see if some "stats for fun" could be posted. I appreciate that you're juggling the launch of second edition and a post of other balls in the air. Thanks kindly and have a nice week.
"There are no plans to publish the full power Xanderghul ever.
Those stats exist, and I'm debating on whether or not to put them online as a blog post or not, but kinda trepidatious about doing so this soon, because I want the Adventure Path to stand on its own as presented, with Xanderghul as NOT the most powerful foe. Maybe later in the late spring or early summer I'll put his stats up for folks to see, but for now I'm not comfortable making them public.
If you want Xanderghul at full power to play a significant role in your game, this is a GREAT homebrew opportunity for a GM, but it's not the intent of the Adventure Path and so I don't want to confuse folks by having someone post "official" stats for him until the Return of the Runelords Adventure Path has had at least a few months to exist whole in the world.
If you're just curious to see how I built his stats, I'll ask you to be patient and understanding, and hopefully you'll still be curious later in the year."

Still no plans. Certainly not the week of PaizoCon. It's not just me getting the stats in shape to be posted as a blog, you see, or me being at peace with the inevitable nitpicking of those stats by people who would have done things another way (although those ARE both significant factors holding it off)... it's also the fact that the blog schedule and contents are not up to me and serve MANY different masters, particularly during the triple threat of Con Season + Crowdfunding Event + 2nd Edition buildup.
I honestly doubt the stats will ever see the light of day at this point. Sorry to disappoint, but this way if they DO show up it'll be a pleasant surprise.
Well, still crossing my fingers, then.

Maybe because he worked with the system for a decade and wants to help out fans who still love the first edition?

+1 on hoping that the stat block will eventually turn up (for PF1).
As long as the NPC's have it, I'm fine. ^^
If anything brings me over to PF2, it'll be a combination of desperation and my burning hatred of Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.

As a heads-up, please don't engage in edition wars. That's one way to surely sour my mood on providing free extra stuff.
James - I appreciate your candor and for taking the time to respond. I can promise I would never nitpick and would enjoy seeing the crunch, even though it's 1st edition. For my part, I feel badly that so many prior "nitpickers" have negatively affected you. Your work stands on its own merits ... clearly.
I'm truly bummed these stats won't see the light of day, even if they were on this thread. But I am grateful you took the time to read and respond to my request. I hope you understand and believe that your supporters and admirers far outweigh the trolls, nitpickers, and keyboard courage cowards. I appreciate the respect you accorded me here.
I wish you good fortune in the journeys to come ...
Kindly,
David
