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.

Clockwork Hunter

Creature 0 (uncommon) — clockwork, construct, mindless

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Clockwork creatures are as common in Alkenstar as carts and horses are in most Inner Sea region cities. In the City of Smog, clockworks perform many of the simple, repetitive tasks that sentient workers find boring, as well as dangerous jobs such as private security or riot control. Tasks like patrolling the sewers for vermin are mundane, perfect for the clockwork hunter. Its hound-like appearance mimics one of humanity's trustiest hunting companions-with a few choice modifications, of course.

Abilities

Wind-Up — 48 hours, DC 14 Thievery check, standby For a clockwork to act, it must be wound with a unique key by another creature. This takes 1 minute. Once wound, it remains operational for the listed amount of time, usually 24 hours, after which time it becomes unaware of its surroundings and can't act until it's wound again. Some clockworks' abilities require them to spend some of their remaining operational time. They can't spend more than they have and shut down immediately once they have 0 time remaining. If it's unclear when a clockwork was last wound, most clockwork keepers wind all their clockworks at a set time, typically 8 a.m. A clockwork that lists standby in its wind-up entry can enter standby mode as a 3-action activity. Its operational time doesn't decrease in standby, but it can sense its surroundings (with a -2 penalty to Perception). It can't act, with one exception: when it perceives a creature, it can exit standby as a reaction (rolling initiative if appropriate). A creature can attempt to Disable a Device to wind a clockwork down (with a DC listed in the wind-up entry). For each success, the clockwork loses 1 hour of operational time. This can be done even if the clockwork is in standby mode.

Salvage Ammunition — The clockwork hunter gathers up any unattended crossbow bolts within reach and reloads its bolt launcher. The hunter restocks its supply of bolts, up to 10 bolts maximum.

Skirmish Strike — The clockwork hunter shuffles its feet and its weapon in tandem. It either Steps and then Strikes, or Strikes and then Steps.

Target Weakness — The clockwork hunter takes a moment to scan a creature for weaknesses, then Strikes with a +1 circumstance bonus to its attack roll. The hunter's Strike gains the deadly d4 trait for this attack.
