Any info anywhere on enemy stats?

[MythTrip]

So for the enemies and creatures we encounter, there is no info about total HP, weaknesses, armor class, saving throws etc. Is that right? The bestiary included in the in game encyclopedia has nice descriptions but no stats. As you progress in a skill, like Lore, do you get a skill or spell to ID monsters and or enemies?

The bestiary stays mostly uselss... you can infer some of this info from hovering over the rolls for the monsters in combat though.

Unfortunately, there's little to nothing of the sort in this game. Mostly guesswork based on what the base creature is in Pathfinder.

I haven't seen anything yet. Maybe there's a spell(s) later but it's quite frustrating. We have various spells where we need to know a number of enemy details like good/evil, saves etc.

IMO they should use one of the knowledge skills.

Yes, this should definitely be a future patch, sucks to just shoot in the dark....would add a nice layer of strategic depth

You can check the Pathfinder SRD online for that. But keep in kind that many critters are advanced versions (rules for hat are online too).

Once again, just use this as a guide as the devs may have changed them to match their needs or so that they could be added to the game more easily. They've been pretty close so far though.

You can check all monsters here:

Yes, but you're answering a thread from six months ago, when none of that had been implemented yet.

You have an Eye icon on your HUD that allows you to Inspect enemies before and after they are dead. Your Knowledge skills are generally what determines your ability to do so.

Nature Lore = Animals
Arcane Lore = Magical Beasts, Aberrations iirc
Religion = Extraplanar entities and creatures.
World = Humanoids, Elves, Dwarves, etc...

Granted, the DC of a lot of these checks is quite high. Basic information isn't a big deal, but immunities and the like are often well over 30. Early game, I've seen quite a few in the 34-37 range.

Not a big deal if you've read the Pathfinder Monster Manual, (or whatever they use), but if you're relying on personal knowledge from an pre-5e books or gameplay, or even just non-Pathfinder core books, you're probably going to be wrong. Even if you are relying directly on Pathfinder Core Rules, you're almost certainly not going to know all of it because there have been changes anyway.

Chuckles. I never pay attention to the date either. Why do people resurrect these things anyway?
