    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Bestiary - Discussion

    Note that Asura's a name we've already claimed for a race of outsiders—a race of lawful evil outsiders based heavily on Indian myth. We've only statted up one Asura so far (in Pathfinder #9), but another one's on the way at some point in Council of Thieves. Both "Agathion" and "Azata" are based...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Bestiary - Discussion

    LA/ECL is not a part of the Bestiary; this isn't a book of alternate player races. It's a monster book. That said, there is the aforementioned half-page or so of advice in the appendix where we talk a little bit about what to watch out for if you let a player play an ogre or minotaur or...

    More information on Tamran?

    I don't believe there's much more about Tamran at all in print right now. And I haven't actually looked inside "Masks of the Living God" to find out how much info about Tamran's in there, to be honest... we're still a bit of a ways off from that module seeing print, alas, so if you can't wait...

    Thank You

    Oof... sorry to hear, man! Best of luck on whatever comes next, and don't be a stranger! :-)

    PF Bestiary - change of date!

    I believe the plan is to get the Bestiary stuff added to the PRD by the release date, but I can't say for sure since much of what goes on here at the website is magic to me...

    Are there plans to update books?

    For many of our later 3.5 products, we did try to work forward and make sure that the design elements worked well with the then-unreleased rules for the PRPG. So yeah, things should work pretty well still, even though the "elf cheat sheet" on the inside front cover's out of date. We've sort of...

    2 New Classes Announced

    If by "full fledged," you mean a 320 page hardcover book... we'll see. If by "full fledged" you mean a book of any size... we've done this already with "The Great Beyond." Written by Todd Stewart.

    2 New Classes Announced

    When I think "outer space" it's going to probably feel a lot more like the stuff we're doing in Planet Stories. Very pulpy, pretty gritty. Expedition to the Barrier Peaks type stuff. Not so much Spelljammer. As for a big hardcover book on the planes... would that be something a lot of folks are...

    2 New Classes Announced

    The goal is to pretty much say everything we have to say about not only the six new base classes, but all of the other variants (new spells, feats, prestige classes, etc.) for the core game as well in 2010's Advanced Player's Guide,... and that's it. We're planning on doing only 3 hardcover...

    Pathfinder 1E What I'd really like to see Paizo do with Pathfinder is...

    Be sure to check out the Paizo.com blog on Monday then, 'cause that's when and where we'll be unveiling the For Real cover of the Gamemastery Guide.

    Burnt Offerings: The Play

    Yeah, it's pretty wild! Several of us here at Paizo are trying to figure out if we can spare a day to make an expedition south to check the play out, in fact...

    Pathfinder 1E Amazon and Pathfinder

    We aren't holding out anything. The Core RPG is currently sold out (the reprint should be in come November), as are several of the Rise of the Runelords adventures, but everything else is available for Amazon to order through their distributor. And given the demand and popularity of the Core...

    Pathfinder 1E What I'd really like to see Paizo do with Pathfinder is...

    It would. In fact, it would probably make us not able to do adventure paths at all, since to a certain extent they're self-funding and splitting the "payments" (in time and printing and resources and costs) up into 6 installments is, really, what makes the whole thing possible. Paying for all of...

    Non-divine class with healing capabilities

    Don't forget the poor bard! It should be a simple thing to augment their existing healing abilities just by giving them things like restoration and the like...

    Pathfinder 1E What I'd really like to see Paizo do with Pathfinder is...

    Yeah; there's a lot of complications when you turn a product from a single book into a bunch of books, cards, maps, inserts, minis, dice, and whatever else and then put it into a box. A ridiculous amount of complications, in fact. Books are already on a relatively razor-thin profit margin...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder: Is it evidence that new editions don't need to be that different?

    I, of course, think of 3.5 as a houseruled variant of the Patfhinder RPG. :p

    Pathfinder 1E What I'd really like to see Paizo do with Pathfinder is...

    Of course... the problem with that plan is that there's no old stock sitting around to bundle. We'd have to reprint if we wanted to do a "Rise of the Runelords" bundl. I'd LOVE to do a boxed set type thing some day, though... but the costs for it would be pretty prohibitive. I've run the...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder - Cool or Interesting Monsters

    We did indeed stat up the coeurl in Pathfinder #22, which was the monster from A. E. Van Vogt's "Black Destoryer" story back in the '50s that inspired the creation of the displacer beast. We don't have the rights to much more with it than print it the one time in Pathfinder, though... it's one...

    monster class skills

    Nope; these rules are in the upcoming Pathfinder RPG Bestiary. It's not out yet, but will be in a few weeks. We haven't revealed what monster types get what kind of skills yet anywhere else.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Bestiary Preview II

    yeah... Had that been higher on my radar I probably would have made that change. SHOULD have made that change. As it was, the crocodile's problem is fixed (that one WAS on my radar), but the sneaky gorilla got by and stays uncommonly big. You can through the "young" simple template on a gorilla...
