Pathrules 2e The Pathfinder 2e rules reference app. Perfect for players and GMs alike. The Pathfinder 2e trait system is great, but it ends up with cross-references, which makes it a bit difficult to read. Pathrules 2e aims to solve this problem by easily showing the references. In addition, the app also allows you to search by name and apply filters, to make it easy to find what you are looking for. For now there are actions, spells, feats, skill, attributes, traits, conditions and creature abilities, but more are to come.
