Despite how far heroes travel or how many times they save the day, there are always new monsters lurking just around the corner. Pathfinder Monster Core 2 is a 278-page sourcebook bursting with brand-new creatures as well as updated Pathfinder classics waiting to find a place at your table. The lavishly illustrated tome also includes guidelines for reading monster entries and adjusting existing monsters to tailor-fit your story! This book is a must-have for Game Masters ready to bring new and exciting challenges to their games!
Pathfinder Monster Core 2 makes use of the updated rules for the fully remastered Pathfinder Second Edition RPG! These rules are compatible with previous Pathfinder Second Edition rulebooks, incorporating comprehensive errata and rules updates and some of the best additions from later books into new, easier-to-access volumes with new presentations inspired by years of player feedback.
Pathfinder Monster Core 2 includes:
- Over 300 individual monster writeups, including common foes, like dangerous animals and mighty elementals, to deadly creatures that can threaten even the most hardened heroes, such as the unsettling swarm striders and the devastating obcisidaemon!
- Eight brand-new dragons to challenge your players, including the powerful cinder dragon, the terrifying despair dragon, the steadfast requiem dragon, the clever rune dragon, and more!
- Classic monsters drawn from mythology, like the coatl and the garuda, as well as creatures drawn from the legends of Pathfinder's Lost Omens setting, including favorites like the majestic dweomercat and the unstoppable Spawn of Rovagug!
- Simple templates that allow you to customize a monster, making it more or less powerful with just a few simple adjustments.
- Guidelines for reading and using monster statistics, ensuring you get the most out of a creature both in and out of combat.
- Lists of creatures sorted by both type and level, making it easy to find the monster you need when you need it.
- Fully integrated errata from the first 5 years of Pathfinder Second Edition, including new balance adjustments to ensure that every creature presents a thrilling level-appropriate challenge!
- Hundreds of beautiful full-color creature illustrations!
- Published under the new Open RPG Creative (ORC) license, giving players and Game Masters even more freedom for making their own creations based on Pathfinder Second Edition.
