Bestiary clan lord series#
Bestiary 6 introduces the blight, a series of environmental-based oozes who control stretches of wilderness and seek to drive out civilization.There are a lot of devils, daemons, demons, and such in Bestiary 6 – it takes over 100 pages (out of 320) to get to the end of the ‘D’ section.I hope to see more of these in the future. Bestiary 6 includes troops of goblins, outlaws, and drow cultists, with some modifiers that can be applied to adjust their capabilities and CR. I love the troops introduced here – “monsters” that are unified stat blocks for groups of weaker foes, enabling a swarm of lower-CR opponents to present a threat to a higher-level party while still being simple enough for the GM to run.
Bestiary clan lord full#
The full range of CRs are covered, however. These unique opponents include the eight archdevils (who each rules over a layer of hell), three Empyreal lords (well, those three are allies), three Great Old Ones, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, three kaiju, four qlippoth lords, and Krampus. As Bestiary 6 notes, these foes are often not well-suited for direct confrontation by the players, either acting as masterminds behind the scenes or only being confronted after the PCs have completed a variety of quests to temporarily weaken their foe.

And every monster gets its own excellent illustration.īestiary 6 is (intentionally) top-heavy (38 with a CR over 20), with many of the monsters presented operating in the mythic/demigod sphere, including quite a few unique foes (or potential allies). Also as usual Bestiary 6 includes universal monster rules, so the GM doesn’t need to leave the book to find rules for monster abilities and types. The book is, as per usual for Pathfinder bestiaries, well-organized, with multiple indices/tables to look up monsters (by name, by challenge rating, by environment, by type, etc.).

You can’t have a dungeon crawl (or planar adventure) without a stack of monsters to populate it, and so Paizo is back at it with Bestiary 6, the latest collection of monsters, masterminds, and even some allies for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.īroad sources of inspiration for many of the monsters in Bestiary 6 include legends and mythology, cryptozoological creatures, and Lovecraftian writings.
