Can I run Pathfinder 2e without Foundry VTT?

Yes. PathfinderGM is a lightweight browser-based GM dashboard — no modules to install, no server to host. It covers encounter building, initiative and condition tracking, and session prep, and complements an in-person table or any VTT you already use for maps.

Is this an online GM screen for PF2E?

Yes — one screen with your combat tracker, encounter builder, bestiary lookups, campaign notes, and the Golarion calendar side by side.

Does it use the Pathfinder 2e Remaster rules?

Yes. Conditions, creature stat blocks, and vocabulary follow the PF2E Remaster as published, sourced from official bestiary data under the Paizo Community Use Policy and ORC license.

Is PathfinderGM free to use?

Core GM tools — encounter builder, combat tracker, campaign vault, and calendar — are free. AI-powered generation uses a monthly credit allowance with optional top-ups.

Creature 11 — monitor, psychopomp, swarm

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Algeas protect (and sometimes retrieve) souls at risk of being claimed by other entities, particularly spellcasters who dabbled with otherworldly forces but never officially pledged their souls.

See Magic — An algea can see magic auras on creatures or objects that it can observe; it can't see magic auras on creatures or objects that are hidden from its view. It learns the schools of magic for all spells affecting creatures.

+1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic —

Grieving Aura (aura, divine, emotion, mental) — 30 feet. A creature that begins its turn in the aura must attempt a DC 27 Will save. Undead take a -2 circumstance penalty to this saving throw. The creature is then temporarily immune to the grieving aura for 1 hour. **Success** The creature is unaffected. **Failure** For 1 round, the creature can't use reactions and is Slowed 1 for that turn as it sobs uncontrollably. **Critical Failure** As failure, but the effects lasts while the creature remains in the aura plus 1 minute.

Drain Magic (divine) — Whenever a creature fails its save against Frenzied Beaks, the algea attempts to counter a spell effect active on that creature (6th level, counteract check +22). The algea can choose which effect to attempt to counteract for each creature.

Frenzied Beaks — Each foe in the swarm's space takes 5d6 piercing damage (DC 30 Reflex) and is exposed to drain magic. This damage affects incorporeal creatures as if it had the effects of a ghost touch property rune.

Soul Cage (divine, incapacitation) — An incorporeal undead damaged by Frenzied Beaks must attempt a DC 30 Will save. **Critical Success** The undead is unaffected and is temporarily immune for 24 hours. **Success** The undead takes a –10-foot status penalty to Speeds for 1 round. **Failure** As success, but the undead is also Immobilized for 1 round, although it can attempt to Escape (DC 30). **Critical Failure** The undead is restrained for 1 round. The algea can attempt to plane shift with the Restrained creature even if that creature isn't willing, but an unwilling creature can attempt a Will save to resist Interplanar Teleport. If it succeeds, the algea plane shifts and leaves the incorporeal creature behind, which is then no longer restrained.
