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.

Bright Walker

Creature 9 (rare) — incorporeal, spirit, undead, unholy

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Those who encounter calignis quickly learn that their deaths involve burning out instead of bleeding out. At times, this dramatic immolation is denied to a caligni, so they arise as a bright walker. Tied to caligni society, these creatures don't understand that their glow damages and repels living calignis. Despite their name, these undead don't walk; they instead float a few inches above the ground.

Greater Darkvision — Greater Darkvision

Bright Release (fire, light) — When a bright walker is reduced to 0 Hit Points, they flash out in a burst of light, obtaining the blazing end they were denied at death. This blaze deals 10d6 fire damage (DC 25 Reflex save) to creatures within 20-foot emanation{20 feet}. Creatures who fail this save are also Dazzled for 1 minute (Blinded for 1 minute on a critical failure).

Light Aura (aura, divine, light) — 30 feet. The bright walker sheds bright light. Any creature that starts its turn in the aura must attempt at a DC 24 Fortitude save. **Critical Success** The creature is temporarily immune for 24 hours. **Success** The creature is Dazzled for 1 round. **Failure** The creature is Blinded for 1 round. **Critical Failure** The creature is blinded for 1 hour.

Suppress Aura (concentrate) — The bright walker suppresses their light aura for 1 round, reducing it to a faint, ghostly glow of dim light.

Void Healing — Negative Healing

Landbound — A bright walker can't fly higher than 1 foot above the ground. If they fly higher than this distance, they fall but don't take any damage from falling.

Light Flare (divine, fire, light) — Requirement The bright walker's Light Aura is suppressed Effect The bright walker reignites their Light Aura with a burst of brightness that deals 5d6 fire damage (DC 25 Reflex save) to creatures within a 20-foot burst. Creatures who are Dazzled or with Light Blindness find this flare particularly painful; such a creature's save result is one degree of success worse than the result it rolled.

Shadow Jump (divine, teleportation) — Requirement The bright walker's Light Aura is suppressed Effect The bright walker teleports to a square it can see within 60 feet that is not in an area of bright light. The bright walker can't use again for 1d4 rounds.
