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.

Old Thornbarker

Creature 12 (unique) — plant, wood

Arboreal archives are solitary beings typically found in the remote wilderness. These ancient monoliths hold the memories of their vast territories, keeping mental records of the passing seasons of the world around them. Their knowledge of humanoid affairs varies, as they find quickly shifting political situations difficult to comprehend, but through fungal networks, reports from arboreal wardens, and other woodland chatter, arboreal archives learn of each storm, drought, or logging threat encou

Abeyance Rift — If Old Thornbarker dies unexpectedly before passing on their knowledge in a succession ritual, the amassed lore within their roots and boughs explodes out in a shock wave that deals 8d10 mental damage to creatures within 30-foot emanation{30 feet} (DC 32 Will save) before dissipating; those who fail also fall Prone.

Sycophantic Scamps — Dozens of Wood Scamps clamber on, nest in, and flit around Old Thornbarker, feeding him their observations and gossip. The arboreal can grab a nearby scamp as if drawing a weapon, using it as a thrown weapon. The unlucky scamp impacts with a clatter of spines and toxic pollen, after which the dazed elemental scampers away to regain its senses. If Old Thornbarker takes 40 or more damage from an area effect, the scamps scatter and seek cover for 1d6 rounds, during which time Old Thornbarker can't make scamp Strikes and loses all-around vision.

Memory Maelstrom (concentrate, incapacitation, mental, nonlethal, primal) — Old Thornbreaker tries to overwhelm foes with a surge of information it has absorbed over its long life. This surge deals 5d6 mental damage to each enemy within 40-foot emanation{40 feet}, who must attempt a DC 32 Will save. **Critical Success** The creature maintains its composure, takes no damage, and is temporarily immune to Memory Maelstrom for 1 minute. **Success** The creature is Stunned 1 and takes half damage. **Failure** The creature takes full damage and is Stunned 3. **Critical Failure** The creature takes double damage, is Confused for 2d4 rounds, and is stunned 3.
