Pathfinder 1E Good online (and free) tools for Pathfinder?

[Mercurius]

In particular, is there anything like Character Builder or Monster Builder or Power2ool?

As a side question, as a new Pathfinder GM how useful is the GM's Screen?

Character/Monster Generator - PCGen (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcgen/files/PCGen Unstable/5.17.10 Alpha/) - Ignore that it is an alpha build. It is pretty rock solid.
Combat Manager - (Combat Manager)

GM Screen - Myself and another guy rotate weekly gm duties (different campaigns). He uses the screen and I don't, but I never have used a gm screen other than as a shield for notes and to keep dice rolling hidden.

I like the GM screen, but I have the same problem with it that I do with all screens - I forget that there is information on the inside and tend to look everything up in the rulebook.

I use a laptop when I DM, so between the PRD and Combat Manager, I have no need or use for the screen.

This is so me. I have a screen and it does have a lot of useful information on it. I forget what info is on it and end up looking it up in a book or via the PRD.

Heh, the only screen that I haven't had that problem with was the Scarred Lands screen for 3e... because it had a page number next to the the rule for reference... why that made it more likely for me to look... maybe in my head it was linked as an index?
