The Gentleman Gamer: Pathfinder Bestiary Review

[TornadoCreator]

Fantastic video, while for an experienced GM this video wasn't quite as useful for me I completely endorse this kind of video. I'd love to see more GMs doing different things with monsters and having more unexpected stories, especially in games like D&D where it would be great to see someone doing a game that's not focused on killing monsters in their traditional habbitats.

@TornadoCreator Thanks for the kind words!

a lich is great but not if it just starts out like that, maybe you run across a wizard in process of becoming the lich, the process is really long. How about u know a Gandalf type guy and he's guiding u through an adventure but ends up just using u to gather what is needed to become a lich, idk

[clackclickbang]

@odin422 That's a rather good idea. Benefactor turns to villain is always a nice touch.

[odin422]

@clackclickbang Yeah you think you know Gandalf but it turns out to be Sauroman, haha

[clackclickbang]

@odin422 Christopher Lee is always scary.

wow that intellect devorer thing gave me a great idea for my campaign in a few days

[clackclickbang]

@LegitBacKd00rNiNJa69 I'm glad! Good stuff.

[felisleo101]

You are correct. It is pronounced "kye-tin-ous."

[clackclickbang]

@felisleo101 Thank you!

[Komeister]

Very interesting! I got some plans about the Devourer. My party might encounter a village with strange acting people..

[clackclickbang]

@Komeister Excellent idea!

[BlackHorsePaladin]

lol, Gentleman... your review of the monsters and the art was superb! And your take on the Rhemorhaz was quite creative. I think I may use ideas like this in an upcoming Pathfinder game I am running. I look forward to seeing your take on Bestiary 2. =)

[clackclickbang]

@BlackHorsePaladin It'll be up in a few days time no doubt.

[woodwwad]

Great job, the art is excellent in that book to be sure. I'm suprised the Int Devourerer is OGL.

[clackclickbang]

@woodwwad Well I wasn't sure either. I was surprised it made the bestiary anyway.

[woodwwad]

@clackclickbang I always thought it was a neat monster.

[Tschenggo]

Totally agree, the Bestiary graphics are superb and they really did a great job there. About the Rhemorhaz, I firth thought about a pet for a giant that helps him smithing, even though I'm a bit currious how this relationship really would work out in a game :). The intellect devourer really sounds like an awesome evil monster, and again I have to agree, would make a great mastermind. Even though I would have it percess a baker/cook and atempting it to poisen the city with a sleeping poison ^^

[clackclickbang]

@Tschenggo Glad you're in agreement! Your baker idea is a rather good one.

[DirtyBriefcase]

LoL When the moon hits your eye like a big hot bug, It's Rhemorhaz, It's Rhemorhaz.

I'm sold.

[clackclickbang]

@DirtyBriefcase Bells will ring, ding-a-ling-a-ling, ding-a-ling-a-ling and we'll sing intellect devourer..

[tetsubo57]

Looking fetching as ever in a tie. :)

I want to get the second volume.

I have a 1E era intellect devourer lead miniature sitting on my desk. Along with a giant slug lead miniature. Old school baby!

I had a neutral lich in an old 2E campaign. He ran a large island nation. Most of it was wild. But the rest was a vast plantation and necromancy school. He was the bread basket of a nearby nation. his work force had a very low overhead...

Remorhaz are cool. :) What can you harvest from the corpse? :)

[clackclickbang]

@tetsubo57 Why thank you!

The second volume is better than the first... My video about it will be uploaded in a few days no doubt.

A lead intellect devourer? Superb!

That's a rather interesting idea for a lich. I may steal it.

I will think on the harvesting opportunities from a remorhaz, but I expect it's heated heart and chitinous plates would be useful at the very least.

[Azartusfar]

"Oh my god this brain's trying to crawl inside my mouth." This was great there's a lot of cool monsters that I've been wanting to put into play but they're just so hard to fit in, Remorhaz being one of them.

[clackclickbang]

@Azartusfar I'm a big fan of the Remorhaz. Unfortunate that I picked the lich as a random monster, but that's the way random goes.

[Azartusfar]

I like Liches (?) to.

[clackclickbang]

@Azartusfar Liches? Or is the plural just lich? Liche? Lichen?

[Azartusfar]

Well you did pronounce them as Liches =/
