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.

Chimera

Creature 8 (uncommon) — beast

The chimera is the archetypal example of an unnatural monster made up of a monstrous mix of wildly different component creatures: in this case, a lion, a dragon, and a goat. Wild, hateful, and hungry, it tries to eat any creature it sees, but sometimes a strong-willed master is able to compel a chimera to serve as a guardian or even a mount. If such an individual ever loses their control over the chimera, they are often the first to be devoured.

Abilities

Multiple Reactions — A chimera gains 2 extra reactions each round that it can use only to make Reactive Strikes. It must use a different head for each reaction, and it can't use more than one on the same triggering action. If it loses one of its heads, it also loses one of these extra reactions.

Reactive Strike — Reactive Strike

Three Headed — Any ability that would sever a chimera's head (such as a critical hit with a Vorpal Weapon ) severs one head at random. Losing a head doesn't kill a chimera (as long as it has one head left), but it does prevent it from making Strikes with the lost head or using the head's Dragon Breath.

Draconic Bite — A chimera's dragon head deals an extra 2d6 untyped damage of a type matching the damage dealt by its Dragon Breath.

Dragon Breath — The chimera breathes a cone or line that deals 9d6 damage to all creatures in the area (DC 26 basic save of a type indicated below). The chimera's dragon head is linked to one of the traditions of magic, which determines the area of its Dragon Breath, the type of damage it deals, and the type of save to avoid it. This ability gains the related traits. The chimera can't use Dragon Breath again for 1d4 rounds. Arcane 60-foot line of 9d6 force{force} (DC 26 Reflex) Divine 60-foot line of 9d6 spirit{spirit} (DC 26 Reflex); this ability can also have the holy or unholy trait Occult 30-foot cone of 9d6 mental{mental} (DC 26 Will) Primal 30-foot cone of 9d6 acid{acid}, 9d6 cold{cold}, 9d6 electricity{electricity}, 9d6 fire{fire}, or 9d6 sonic{sonic} (DC 26 Reflex); or 9d6 poison{poison} (DC 26 Fortitude)

Three-Headed Strike — The chimera makes a Strike with its dragon jaws, lion jaws, and goat horns, each at a -2 penalty and targeting a different creature. These Strikes count as only one attack for the chimera's multiple attack penalty, and the penalty doesn't increase until after it has made all three attacks.
