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.

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Skelms crave power, and the palace skelms who stalk the halls where such power concentrates are among the most dangerous of their kind. They assume titles that allow them maximum freedom to punish or hurt others with minimal oversight: any vindictive guard captain, tyrannical viceroy, or needlessly cruel magistrate could be or become a palace skelm. They delight in the wealth and status of their positions, garbing themselves in ornate finery that reflects their station. Palace skelms ingratiate

Change Shape (concentrate, occult, polymorph) — The palace skelm can take on the appearance of any Medium male humanoid. This doesn't change his Speed or his attack and damage bonuses with his Strikes but might change the damage type his Strikes deal. Change Shape
