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.

Phasmadaemon

Creature 17 — daemon, fiend, unholy

The horrifying phasmadaemons make use of illusions and their own frightening appearances (that of serpents with bony tails, horned crocodilian skulls for heads, and several insectile pincers) to strike fear into the hearts of others. They represent deaths brought about by fright. Ultimately, any kind of fear can lead to the creation of a phasmadaemon, but a soul who transforms into such a fiend must quickly find other fears to feed on to build up their own strength.

Frightful Presence (aura, emotion, fear, mental) — 60 feet. DC 35 Will Frightful Presence

Unending Terror — Escaping fear near a phasmadaemon is no simple task. Creatures don't automatically reduce their Frightened condition while they are within the phasmadaemon's Frightful Presence aura. Instead, they must attempt a Will save at the end of their turn against the DC of the effect that caused the condition. On a success, the creature's frightened condition is reduced by 1.

Constrict — 3d10+9 bludgeoning, DC 35 Fortitude Constrict

Consume Fear (emotion, fear, mental) — **Critical Success** The creature takes no damage and manages to break free from the phasmadaemon's Grab. **Success** The creature takes half damage. **Failure** The creature takes full damage and increases their frightened conditioned by 1, to a maximum of Frightened 4. **Critical Failure** The creature takes double damage and increases their frightened condition by 2, to a maximum of frightened 4. If the creature is already frightened 4, it must attempt a DC 38 Fortitude saving throw. If it fails, it's reduced to 0 Hit Points and dies. This effect has the death and incapacitation traits.

Inescapable Form — The phasmadaemon can Squeeze through tight spaces as if it were a Small creature. While Squeezing, it can move at its full Speed. The phasmadaemon can even Squeeze through spaces that typically fit only a Tiny creature, but does so at the standard speed for Squeezing.
