Official Pathfinder Modules Bug Report Thread

I just recently purchase the core rulebook and under chapter 11 Duelist, there is a place for an image, but the image does not appear. When you click on that box, it pops up an image.

the core rulebook is currently being updated. i will make sure the image is included when it is ready.

I noticed a few odd things in Bestiary 1 after the most recent update. I am not sure if these are bugs/errors but they seemed like odd formatting choices so I thought I would ask here. First of all, Bestiary 1 is listed as "Core Rule" and not "Core Rules" in the list of modules. In other places, it is listed as "Bestiary 1" or "B1" as opposed to "Pathfinder Bestiary 1/2/3." Please refer to (1) in attached image. Secondly, the images tab of bestiary 1 lists MANY more images that the other bestiaries (2 in attached image). It lists the actual monster image, the 3d view and even the "banner" or monster title gets its own image (3 in attached image). The other bestiaries that I own only have the actual monster image.

I am not sure if these formatting choices are intentional (perhaps the books are slowly being updated to a new format?). In the event I find other such inconsistencies, should they be reported here?

I will resend it with the mention of Core Rules (with an S). this is a typo on my part. as for the more numerous image, it is part of the update. every type of image used int the book creation is listed in the image tab. they cannot be hidden (as it could be in the past)

Hey all, I was recently looking through bestiary 2 and noticed that there seems to be no image for the Worm that Walks. The ref manual (1) and image window (2) both show nothing although the token does show when dragged on to a map.

Incidentally, I also noticed that Bestiary 2 has no entry in the "books" tab (3).

Bestiary 2 is on the list for being updated to include the new view format (3d). i will make sure to include all missing images, like the work that walk, and it should fix the "book" entry being missing

Pathfinder Bestiary 3 image file for the Guecubu is blank. The image for the token is there though.

Bestiary 3 is in line to be updated (to add 3d image view). the missing image(s) will be added at that point.

There is an error with the NPC Monster Factory function of the Advanced Bestiary. When adding a NPC source to the factory it no longer calculates ability bonuses for spells and special abilities.NPC Monster Factory Bug.jpg

This took me a bit to track down. Drag the Output NPC(s) entry to your campaign and then the spell feature editing will work. I'm not sure why it is not working in the preview, but these are not full campaign records yet.

Thanks for looking into that!

Hi all, I recently picked up the Tome of Horrors books during the black friday sale and came across some issues. In order to be sure, I tested this in a campaign with no extensions except for the official FGU Advanced Bestiary extension. Anyway, when using the ToH books, I noticed that they provided a "template" data record that is recognized by the Advanced Bestiary template factory. I was quite surprised as no other products I can think of (even those that include templates like the PFRPG bestiary) work together with the Advanced Bestiary template extension function. Unfortunately, when clicking on the ToH template data record, the usual fields that would be revealed were messed up (circled in red in attached image). The data fields are also not filled in.. using the templates provided by the ToH books wouldn't actually do anything even without the graphical glitch... Copying the template fixes the issue but I am sure that the data records should not look as they do in the attached image. Additionally, I noticed that the tabs which would normally be present (main, notes, help) on template data records were not visible(circled in yellow). This was the case with both advanced bestiary and both of the ToH books.

EDIT: Further testing has revealed that using the "classic" theme reveals the tabs that are hidden when not using a theme.

Finally, I noticed that neither of the ToH books have an actual reference manual. They both have a sort of "misc ref manual" link that leads to a few story data records (circled in green), but nothing that lets me "read through" the document as I would with a pdf, book or ref manual in other fantasy grounds products. The advanced bestiary also lacks a ref manual, though it does have a series of linked story entries that allows one to /kind of/ read through it - though it isn't quite the same as a book, pdf, or ref manual entry. I am not sure if the lack of reference manual is a bug or not for the ToH books or the Advanced Bestiary but I thought it was worth mentioning.

The templates in all products outside of the Advanced Bestiary by Green Ronin are meant for reference only. The NPC template records in Tome of Horrors are not intended to work with the extension from the Adv Bestiary product.

That said, the extension for the Advanced Bestiary does allow you to create a wide range of templates for Pathfinder even if they are from different publishers. It was written in a fairly generic fashion.

I suspected that might be the case. When I made the post, I wasn't sure if the TOH templates were meant to work with the Advanced Bestiary extension or not. Does that mean that template data records originating from non-Advanced Bestiary products will have display issues like the one I posted in the above screenshot? Aside from the missing text on the side of the template window, the Advanced Bestiary templates were fine when viewing from both the ref manual and the NPC Templates tab. The ToH Templates had some text overlap when viewing from the NPC Template tab.
