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.

Sickly Eshmok

Creature 8 (uncommon) — demon, fiend, fungus, unholy

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

Eshmoks are proof that anger consumes a creature. Formed from wrathful souls, these demons resemble giant humanoid wasps who have fallen victim to parasitic fungi. The fungi's foul-looking fibrous material is a physical manifestation of wrath. Tendrils of it burst from eshmok bodies, emitting rage-inducing spores, while lattices of nest-like growths from their torsos shelter wasplike infestations. Wrathful Parasites The swarms that infest an eshmok aren't its allies, but incarnations of anger th

Abilities

+1 Status to All Saves vs. Magic —

Harmony Vulnerability — An eshmok's wrathful infestations defines them, and forcing peace upon them wrenches at their soul. If they fail a save against calm or a similar effect forcing them to be peaceful, an eshmok takes 4d6 mental damage.

Change Shape (concentrate, divine, polymorph) — The eshmok turns into their fungus form or back into their normal humanoid wasp form. In fungus form, they lose their fly Speed and can't make stinger Strikes. In fungus form, they gain a tendril melee Strike (+21 for 2d8+9 slashing plus eshmok infection); the tendril strike has the agile, magical, reach 10 feet, and unholy traits. Change Shape

Eshmok Infection (mental, poison) — A creature that's Quickened by eshmok infection can use the extra action each round for only Strike actions. A creature that's Confused by eshmok infection never considers an eshmok in fungal form as a target Saving Throw DC 26 Will Maximum Duration 6 rounds Stage 1 confused (1 round) Stage 2 confused and quickened (1 round) Stage 3 confused, Off-Guard, and quickened (1 round)

Infesting Exhalation (olfactory, poison) — The eshmok exhales a wave of stinging fiendish wasps out in a 30-foot type:cone, dealing 4d8 poison damage to every creature within the cone (DC 28 Reflex save). The swarming fiend wasps linger in the area for 6 rounds or until the eshmok is able to use Infesting Exhalation again, whichever comes first. Each creature damaged by Infesting Exhalation or that enters the area must succeed at a DC 28 Fortitude save or take 2d8 persistent poison damage and become Clumsy 1 as the poison renders them dizzy and nauseous. At the end of each of their turns, they can attempt a new Fortitude save to end the effects. The eshmok can't use Infesting Exhalation again for 1d6 rounds.
