Basic premise: Monsters for the Pathfinder system!The artwork for this book is fantastic, and every monster gets a picture. Stat blocks are easy to read and information is easy to find. The appendices are useful. You can't ask for much more. These monsters represent some divergences from D&D's stuff, so read carefully before setting up an encounter. I find that the monster CRs are generally pretty accurate.
This book is a must have if you don't have the tablet/phone app the build a campaign.Lovely pictures and easy to read and understand stat blocks.That being said, I was disappointed that there weren't a few more baddies in there for the price (felt like they were like "well wizards of the coast prints tons of books we can too!") Several baddies that elude me that I figured were standard fantasy fare were missing, but are included in later editions... so that didn't help my we're gouging money fee...
very informative on the different monsters within the realms of Pathfinder. I may try and adapt some to fit D&D 5e, when they are not present in the Monster Manuel for that edition.
a pretty much perfect monster manual.
The original "monster book" for the Pathfinder RPG - an indispensible guide for the game. Most of the classics are in there, and well-treated!
I highly recommend grabbing the associated bestiary box if you use the monsters from this book regularly. The pawns are great to use with or without actual miniature figurines. Once again, great illustrations, easy to read information, and helpful guides for creating monsters and adding templates to existing creatures to create even nastier beasties makes this a wonderful book for a gm.
Esencial para la guía básica, me gusta ver cada bestia y ver que hace !
It is not much needed if you own the previous AD&D monster manuals, but it is well written, adds some twists to several monsters, specially the old classics, and updates them to Pathfinder. Good enough.
-1 star for rapey satyrs
Revised stat blocks = good. I didn't care too much for most of the art, but others in my gaming group liked it. It comes down to personal taste, as always.
One of the best monster books of any RPG.
Gorgeous layout, artwork, and rules clarity.
Gameworm Plays!Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Bestiary ****Acquired: Barnes and Nobel BooksellersSeries: Pathfinder Role-Playing GamePaperback: 328 PagesPublisher: Paizo Inc.; Pocket ed edition (August 23, 2016)Language: EnglishSubject: Science-Fiction & Fantasy/Gaming****The Story: Within this tome you'll find fire-breathing dragons and blood-drinking vampires, vile demons and shapechanging werewolves, sadistic goblins and lumbering giants, and so much more! Yet not all the creatures in this book...
Needs to be reorganized, and there should be a limit on the amount of times you're allowed to use the word "yet." Otherwise good stuff. I wish it were longer so you wouldn't need to buy parts 2-5, but money is money.
Todos sabemos que nos encanta encontrarnos con un buen desafío, empezar a juntar dados de diversas formas y colores y planificarnos mentalmente la mejor manera de darle un escarmiento a ese bicho que se ha atrevido a atacarnos, pero eso sí, con estilo. Nada de «ataco» y punto. Todos sabemos que lo que más nos gusta a los jugadores es demostrar lo que somos capaces de hacer y para esto, señoras y señores, es evidente que necesitamos unos monstruos a nuestra altura. Por eso y para eso nace el Best...
This book is a must-have for any Storyteller planning to run a homebrew game (or significantly modify a published Adventure Path). Full of clean, useful illustrations and tips on monster tactics, it's a worthwhile investment.
“Within this the pages of this tome you will encounter a wide range of monsters and creatures to pit against your players as they explore your world.” This is another one of those books that is an absolute must on a game master’s bookshelf. I’ve gotten slightly less use out of it than the NPC Codex, but that is merely because my players prefer NPC enemies over monsters.Considering the amount of information in here (over 350+ monsters), its readability and its easy use during games, it’s most
This is just the perfect book to start with when you want to populate your fantasy game. Obviously it helps with getting to know the monsters that live in the Pathfinder universe, but in reality, this book has the potential to be much more. It can help you in other systems, be your painting reference, drawing inspiration... and even teach you to create other monsters! Lovely art and easy to use statistics.
To create the perfect monster book without creating a book of unwieldy size is impossible, but Pathfinder comes close in this, its first volume of monsters. There really isn't much to say about this one. The production standards are sky-high, and Paizo does a masterful job of covering the majority of must-have monsters in any starting game book. It adds a few standards I personally would rather have seen omitted, but that's just me. The bottom line is that this book is all killer, no filler, and...
i like monsters.
