Exotic Encounters: Compendium

                The Pathfinder Bestiary, and the long line of monstrous encyclopedia that came before it, do a great job of attacking the problem of providing game statistics and mechanical information for a very wide variety of creatures. There are a lot of strange creatures from fantasy novels and movies, from ancient mythology, and, as time went on, from the twisted minds of game designers and even GMs, for that matter. Anyone today who tried to go about creating an extensive bestiary of all the different cool and interesting fantasy monsters could fill three or four volumes with three hundred monsters each, and still have a long way left to go, with fans crying out for various “forgotten” monsters to get some attention. That kind of breadth doesn’t leave a whole lot of room for depth, and that’s where Exotic Encounters came in.

 

                The Exotic Encounters series focused on providing new and creative twists on well-known, iconic monsters, providing new options for GMs to use creatures like cyclopes, medusas, nightmares, and all manner of other monsters at a wider range of CRs. But the monsters included here are more than just existing stat-blocks with Hit Dice added or subtracted: each monster has at least one unique ability never seen anywhere else, and each of the monsters has been reimagined and cast in a new, creative light that transforms it into something that is both familiar and resonant, while still being new and exciting.

 

                Exotic Encounters: Compendium is a compilation of all of the exotic encounters products released in 2013, gathered together in a single, convenient, bookmarked document. Buying each of the original Exotic Encounters products separately, this collection of 88 monsters included in this book would cost over $28, but you can get it for almost a third of that price. So what are you waiting for? Find your party’s next memorable encounter today!

This is a compilation of variant monsters with base creatures chosen from the first bestiary. Each creature has three variants, usually one weaker and two stronger versions. Beasts are well made, nothing too spectacular, but also nothing bad that stand [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
