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.

Sykever

Creature 15 — darvakka, shadow, undead, unholy

The most common darvakkas are sykevers, walkers in the night. Bloodthirsty but calculating, they lead legions of dead into battle on the Material Plane, working toward the simple goal of ending all life. Darvakkas, also called nightshades, are a ravenous evil made up of equal parts darkness and malice. Originally creatures of the Outer Planes who travel to the convergence of the Shadow Plane and the Void—where the power of nothingness obliterates them—these undead abominations are the physical

Lifesense 60 feet — Lifesense

Constant Spells — Constant Spells

Entropy's Shadow (aura, divine, void) — 40 feet. Sykevers leak entropy and corruption from their very being. A living creature entering or starting its turn in the aura takes 4d6 void damage with a DC 33 Fortitude. If it fails, it's also Enfeebled 1 for 1 minute and pulled 10 feet toward the sykever.

Sunlight Powerlessness — A sykever caught in sunlight is Stunned 2 and Clumsy 2.

Void Healing — Negative Healing

Change Posture — The sykever changes between their bipedal and quadrupedal stance. In their bipedal stance, the sykever can use all the abilities in their stat block except Horned Rush. In their quadrupedal stance, the sykever has a Speed of 80 feet but can't make arm spike Strikes, Disarm, cast spells, or use Crush Item.

Crush Item —

Draining Gaze (concentrate, divine, visual) — The sykever fixes their nightmarish gaze on one creature they can see, who must attempt a DC 36 Will save. Regardless of the result, the target is temporarily immune for 10 minutes. **Critical Success** The target is unaffected. **Success** The target is Enfeebled 2 for 1 round if the sykever is in bipedal stance, or Clumsy 2 for 1 round if the sykever is in quadrupedal stance. **Failure** As success, but the effect lasts 1 minute. **Critical Failure** As success, but Enfeebled 3 or Clumsy 3, and the effect lasts 10 minutes.
