• Integration between the Pathfinder rules and Foundry VTT's canvas offers effortless support for advanced features like immersive vision mechanics, positional flanking, immunities, weaknesses, resistances, and real-time range detection

How to Contribute

The ongoing development effort for this game system is entirely volunteer-based, and we always welcome more help!

• If you know how to code in JavaScript/TypeScript/HTML/CSS and have something specific you want to work on, check out the issue tracker on GitHub. You can set up a development environment following these directions.
• If you find a data entry error, feel free to open a ticket in the GitHub issue tracker.
• Our Discord server serves as both a community hub and a base of operations for development, and is a good place to check in if you'd like to help but don't know where to start.

If you find what you think is a bug, do the following:

*IF YOU USE FORGE VTT AS YOUR HOST - PLEASE TROUBLESHOOT WITH THEM FIRST; WE CANNOT REALLY HELP WITH ISSUES DUE TO HOSTING*

1. Close the world and restart Foundry.
2. Push F12 and make a note of any errors in the console log.
3. Try to replicate it and figure out exactly what you did to cause it. Do you get the same error in the console log?
4. If it is an actor, try replicating it on a brand new test actor.
5. Disable all modules and try again. If it stops try figuring out which module - you can likely get help in #module-troubleshooting on the FVTT discord.
6. If it still persists, create a new PF2e world with no modules enabled and try again. At this point you likely have enough information people in #pf2e on the discord channel might be able to help you.
   1. If it still persists and you feel confident in this, back up your world data, delete the PF2e system and reinstall it and see if that fixes the issue
7. Open up a GitHub issue stating exactly what you did and exactly what error you are getting. Likely someone in #pf2e can help you phrase this.
