PFRPG2 GM Enhancement extension
Hello everyone,
The PFRPG2 GM Enhancement extension brings a bunch of new functionality for the Pathfinder 2 Ruleset. I build those for my own use as a PF2 GM, but I'm happy to provide them as-is for the community for a minimum price. I have released parts of it as free standalone extensions before, but they are incompatible with this one: please remove those before using this one, in particular PFRPG2 Random Encounters. This extension is currently maintained for future ruleset updates.
With this extension, you'll have the features below. If you have 10min, this video show 1.0 features, this one 1.1, and 1.3.
Random Encounter Generator with preview
You can create random encounters for the given level range, optionally providing trait or skill filters, using all monsters/NPCs available to you via modules or campaigns.
Generate Weak and Elite monsters with a single click
Any Monster/NPC/Hazard can be adjusted to a Weak or Elite version of it with a single click, completely transparent to your players. No more EFFECT+2/-2 workarounds.
Encounter XP Calculator for multiple party sizes
PF2 have an elegant and robust encounter creation rules. You can now see the threat of each of your encounters given your party size and level. Missing a player? You easily adjust the encounter back to Moderate removing a creature or adjusting it to Weak template.
Random Item Parcel Generator
You can easily create a single treasure random parcel to all a level worth of items for your party and manually adjust or split to distribute treasure as expected by PF2 rules. Having the item level at the treasure parcel helps you to plan accordingly. It also adds a field to indicate if the item is a consumable, making it easy to do substitutions. The button is on the top of the Parcels window (Random Treasure).
Item Crafting Calculator
Crafting is not PF2 best feature, but you can at least take the calculating pain out of the way with a very simple cfraft calculator you can launch from any item entry window. Just input the crafter level and proficiency, and their craft roll to check all the results from that craft attempt. You need to enable this feature on the FG options window. This will also show for players.
Earn Income Calculator
Wanna quickly check how much money per day of downtime you can make on a Society Game? Just check the coins icon on top of your skill list.
Hero Points distribution
An easy way to give hero points to the party, or to zero them out at the beginning of a session. You (or the party, with the proper permission) can also see how many hero points each character has, and you as the GM can award individual points as well. Check the party sheet and a new option to limit a max of hero points.
NPC Builder
Build new NPC/Monsters with a base template with all appropriate numbers for the creature level. It also includes base templates from the Gamemastery Guide. Now includes an option to create creatures without adding level, for the Proficiency Without Level optional rule. Just click on the button New on the Bestiary window.
Rune Forge
Create new magic items merging base armor and weapons with precious materials, fundamental and property runes. The forge will calculate the proper cost and add all rune data to a single item.
Spellbook creation
Use the the new button on the Spells window to create custom spellbooks with links to the original spells. The new item will have costs calculates based on the spellcasting costs. You can also use it to create a Wand or a Scroll if you supply a single spell.
Remove Max HP on Drained effect
If the option is toggled on Combat options, when a PC on the combat tracker gets a Drained effect, the character sheet will reduce its maximum HPs by the drained value times the character level. This, however, will override any other temporary HP setup, so only enable this if Drained is your only source of changing max hp.

The quick elite/weak generator looks useful. Consider offering a way to also quickly change levels of NPCs. When one player/PC is missing in a session then using a weak template can be too much (making it too easy), dropping a boss enemy by 1 level can be better balanced to compensate for the missing player. Same for elite vs. +1 level when an additional PC is at the table.

I'm bit confused. Isn't Elite and Weak essentially a quick and dirty +1 and -1 level respectively?

Here are some screenshots of my new features: a pair of quick button on the Party Sheet to distribute Hero Points, and a NPC Builder that creates a new NPC entry for you based on the level and ranks of each characteristic chosen. I run a lot of custom encounters in my APs and that is why I wanted this inside FG. Take a look and give me feedback! Once I finish testing I will add to the Forge (people that bought version one will just get the updated 1.1 automatically).

Great extension, bought it today
Some feedback:
Since you already did the crafting window, would it be possible to do something similar for Earn Income?
Also with the Hero Point interface, I think it would be useful to have the current hero points displayed in the party sheet, and to maybe also have a button to only give specific characters a hero point, since I don't usually give them out to everyone at the same time.Last edited by Montis; April 7th, 2022 at 16:08.

True, it is already there: If you set the income level in the item level craft, the daily progress it exactly the earn income for that proficiency level and result. I can just copy paste and change the labels, thanks for the feedback.
Adding total hero points to the party sheet shouldn't be hard, but that is already a pretty heavy window. I'll try to see the impact in performance. My rationale here (sometime I give individual hero points too) is that that one player can easily manually add one, while asking the whole party is a bit disruptive. Thanks for the feedback here too!Daniel Salles de Araújo (@dsaraujo)
