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.

Cinder Dragon (Ancient)

Creature 19 (uncommon) — dragon, fire, primal

Among the largest and fiercest dragons, cinder dragons are typically volatile, demanding respect—even deference—from lesser creatures. Cinder dragons' appearance evokes their flame, often in scales with mixed patterns of red, orange, and yellow. Many cinder dragons dwell in active volcanoes and similarly fiery locales. Cinder dragons prefer treasures that can withstand the heat of their bodies and lairs, with gemstones, gold, and silver common among their hoards.

All Becomes Flame (curse, fire, primal) — The dragon curses a creature within 60 feet to have its magic replaced with primordial flames. The creature must attempt a DC 39 Will save. Regardless of the result, the target becomes temporarily immune for 1 day. **Critical Success** The creature is unaffected. **Success** The creature is cursed for 1 round. While cursed, any damage the cursed creature would deal by any means becomes fire damage, regardless of the original damage type.

Draconic Momentum — The dragon recharges their Pyre Breath whenever they score a critical hit with a Strike.

Pyre Breath (fire, primal) — The dragon breathes a blast of flame that deals 18d6 fire damage in a 60-foot type:cone (DC 41 Reflex save). Creatures that critically fail their save catch fire, taking 2d6 persistent fire damage. The area then fills with black smoke for 1 minute. This has the effects of mist, except it fills the cone's area. The dragon can't use Pyre Breath again for 1d4 rounds.

Stoke the Flames (fire, primal) — The dragon intensifies nearby fires. Every foe within 60 feet that is taking persistent fire damage takes 5d6 fire damage.
