Your table has a goblin in it now.

Install Table Goblin Opens Discord's own invite screen. Pick your server and it's added with every permission below already ticked.

What the bot asks for, and why

Table Goblin needs the permissions below. Use the Install Table Goblin link above and they're all granted for you; if you add the bot some other way, tick them on its role yourself. Each one is load-bearing:

Two commands to a working table

What it builds

The two roles

Neither role carries a single server-wide permission. Everything is granted on the campaign's category, so a role can never confer anything outside its own campaign — and with @everyone denied on that category, nobody sees the campaign at all without one of them.

Prefer your own channels? That works too.

The category is a convenience, not a requirement. Any channel inside the campaign's category belongs to that campaign automatically — drop a new one in and it works immediately, no binding needed.

If you'd rather use channels you already have, skip setup_channels and bind them by hand. Binding is how you tell the bot which channel plays which role — where the map posts, which one is GM-private:

Every /tgm command needs a campaign GM or a Server Administrator, and every one except campaign_create must be run from inside that campaign's own channels. The channel is how the bot knows which campaign you mean, which is why none of them takes a campaign name you could point somewhere else.

Campaign rules

/tgm campaign_rules opens a private panel — dropdowns and buttons, not a wall of arguments — holding everything about how your table plays. Nothing is saved until you press Save, and only the GM who opened it can touch it.

Optional rules

Tick the ones your table uses. The character builder and level-up follow them from the start, so a player builds the right character the first time rather than patching it afterwards.

Uncommon and rare

Common is always available. Uncommon and rare are two switches, both off to begin with — which is stricter than it sounds, since only 8 of the game's 50 ancestries are common. Turn on what your table allows.

Then there are ancestry exceptions: two dropdowns, one for the 20 uncommon ancestries and one for the 22 rare ones. An exception flips the switch for that one ancestry. With rare off, ticking Poppet makes Poppet available; with rare on, ticking Poppet takes it away. An ancestry you allow brings all its heritages and ancestry feats with it whatever their own rarity — and the panel tells you exactly how many uncommon or rare ones that means before you save.

Treasure tables

Both of these roll on PF2e's own 40 per-level treasure tables — with their real dice and weightings, so commoner results stay commoner.

Building a character

/tgchar build walks you through ancestry, heritage, background, class, boosts, skills and feats, one dropdown at a time, saving as it goes. A companion or familiar a class or feat grants gets its own name-and-species step right there in the wizard, not a separate command afterward. A background that asks you something — which skill (Hermit), which feat (Professional Letter Writer), a skill that decides the feat (Martial Disciple: Acrobatics brings Cat Fall, Athletics brings Quick Jump), an energy resistance (Energy Scarred), or a ranged weapon you treat as one category simpler (Student of Archery) — asks it right on the background step, each option showing what it grants. Anything that grants alchemical formulas gets a Formulas step with a dropdown per source — an Alchemist, a hobgoblin's Alchemical Scholar, an Investigator's Alchemical Sciences, or a background that grants Alchemical Crafting. A new character finishes with real starting wealth (15gp) and a searchable shopping-cart vendor for common starting gear, opened automatically right after creation — 7 specialist vendors (Melee Weapons, Ranged Weapons, Armor, Shields, Adventuring Gear, Alchemical, Scrolls). The top line shows what you're actually trained in, grouped by rank, and each weapon/armor result is flagged ⚠️ Not proficient if you aren't trained in it yet (shields have no proficiency of their own to check) — each result also shows real stats (a weapon's damage die/category/group/traits, armor's AC/Dex cap/Str/type, a shield's AC/Hardness/HP) rather than just its price. Search each vendor, add matches to a cart, remove one with the cart's own "Remove an item" dropdown if you change your mind, and check out once at the end. Ammunition is sold, priced, and tracked in packs of 10 (real Core Rulebook pricing) — each click is one pack, and the cart spells out the real round count.

Three steps of the real builder.

Importing and exporting

Already have a sheet? Bring a Pathbuilder character in, or move one between tables with Table Goblin's own export.

Companions, eidolons, familiars, constructs, and followers

A companion or familiar a class or feat grants during /tgchar build gets its own step right in the wizard — nothing further to run. Adding one to a character built another way, or one imported from Pathbuilder without companion_name/eidolon_name at creation, uses /tgcompanion instead.

The sheet

/tgchar sheet opens an interactive sheet with five tabs — Overview, Combat, Spellbook, Gear, Companions — the Overview shows your background and deity at a glance. Only you see it and only you can click anything — pass show_all:true to post it visibly for the whole table instead.

Rolling happens through dropdowns rather than more commands. The Combat tab has skills, saves and strikes (plus a separate dropdown for companion attacks). Spells are shown and cast heightened to their slot's rank (cantrips and focus spells to half your level) — more damage, area or targets, from each spell's own heightened entries; the (heightened) target count is applied, and an effect that asks you something at cast time prompts you privately. A lasting effect goes on the creature the spell targets (the ally you cast Heroism on, the foe Ray of Frost crits), as its attack or save allows; cast with nobody named, you're asked who it affected. A spell that costs 1 to 3 actions (Force Barrage) is listed once per action count, and rolls what the extra actions add. Bards, Oracles, Psychics, Sorcerers and Summoners pick a signature spell per rank from 3rd level, castable heightened from any higher slot. A Sorcerer's bloodline adds its granted spells and bloodline focus spells on its own (Draconic, Elemental and Genie are asked their exemplar / element / type), and casting a bloodline spell offers its Blood Magic, applied for real. The Spellbook tab lets you pick a rank and then a spell — casting consumes the correct slot automatically, applies any lasting buff or debuff, and attaches an Uncast button for a mis-click.

Four tabs of the real sheet.

Using, investing and giving gear

The sheet's Gear tab has three buttons. Use Item spends a consumable from your pack and asks who it is for — you, or anyone in the encounter (the party outside one). Its activation is posted as your character, a stated healing roll is added to the target's Hit Points, and the item's effect goes on their sheet: an Antidote's bonus against poison, an Eagle Eye Elixir's Perception, temporary Hit Points. What the bot can't read is listed as not tracked so you can apply it by hand. {item} does the same from chat, as a dropdown or {item: healing potion}.

Invest invests or divests a magic item, up to ten (✨ marks them). Only invested items give their bonuses: a Cloak of Elvenkind adds to Stealth while it is invested, and Handwraps of Mighty Blows apply their runes only then. An item in the pack gives nothing.

Equip picks the armor you wear, the shield you hold ready and the weapons in your hands; the top of the tab shows them and marks each one. Give / Drop hands any item, or part of a stack, to an ally or throws it away (a backpack goes with everything inside it). Stow moves gear, weapons and armor into a container you carry (a backpack, satchel, haversack, sack...) or back onto your person. For a stack of more than one, it asks how many to move and leaves the rest where it was. The Gear tab's Bulk line totals what you carry: encumbered above 5 + your Strength modifier (Clumsy 1 and −10 feet to all Speeds, applied for you), and 10 + your Strength modifier is the most you can carry. A container holds only what its capacity allows, and the first 2 Bulk in a backpack don't count against you. Getting something out of a pack takes two Interact actions (take the pack off, take it out) before the action to use it, which the bot says when you use it (a bandolier is worn, so that's one). Tools past 2 Bulk on your belt are flagged: stow the extra. Armor you're wearing weighs 1 Bulk less than listed; armor in your pack counts in full. An Inventor's Segmented Frame innovation counts as light Bulk. A Bag of Holding is a Spacious Pouch (the Remaster name) and its contents weigh next to nothing. Over the most you can carry, you can't move on the map.

Talismans aren't used, they're affixed: pick one in Use Item (or {item}) and choose which of your weapons, armor or shields it goes on — only gear the talisman fits is offered. Affixing takes ten minutes and a repair toolkit; if nobody in the party has one, the bot says so and refuses, and a toolkit someone else carries counts. A second talisman on the same item deactivates them all, so it asks first: affix anyway, or swap the old one back into your pack. The Gear tab shows what is on each item, and its Talismans button activates one (its text is posted, it is used up and any bonus goes on you) or takes it off again.

Injury poisons go on a weapon: pick one in Use Item (or {item}) and choose the weapon to coat. The next Strike with it that hits and deals damage exposes the target, who rolls the poison's save as usual, and then the coating is gone; a miss leaves it on.

Give, or {give} / {give: 3 rations} in chat, hands loose gear to another character in your party. Weapons and armor on the sheet go through the GM.

Coin

Imported from Pathbuilder once, then it's yours. PF2e coinage is decimal, so the bot keeps your purse in the shape you're holding it — adding 5 sp to 3 sp gives you 8 sp, not 0.8 gp. It only breaks a purse down when it has to, which is exactly the moment a real table would make change.

The rest

You don't have to run a command to act. Type a prefix straight into any of the campaign's channels and Table Goblin posts as your character, through the same webhook the sheet uses. The dice logic is identical either way — there's no separate "chat version" of a roll.

<prefix>::["message"]{action}
npc::<Display Name>::["message"]{action}

Prefixes

What it looks like

Maneuvers, grip and the action list

{action} opens a dropdown of everything your character can do beyond a plain Strike or spell, sorted A–Z with your starred favourites first. Once that list is longer than one page it becomes category-first — pick a category (each shows its count), then the action, with a ◀ All categories entry to back out. The sheet's Combat tab uses the same list.

Everyone has a Skill Actions category: Trip, Grapple, Shove, Disarm, Reposition, Escape, Demoralize and Change Grip, plus Feint once you're trained in Deception. A Fighter who took Combat Grab gets that too — it is its own action (a Strike that grabs on a hit), not a Grapple by another name. Apart from Feint, untrained characters may attempt any of them: the remastered rules list no training requirement. Your favourites come first: an action you starred (☆ Favourite on a /tgcheck result, or on the private “✅ … used.” note after using one from this dropdown) is listed at the top, marked ⭐, here and on the Combat tab — above the categories once the list is grouped.

You need something to fight before you can run a fight. Everything here is GM-only — creature stat blocks are the GM's to know.

Poisons, diseases and curses

Afflictions run themselves. A creature hit by a venomous Strike (a giant centipede's mandibles) or by a poisoned round is exposed: it rolls the save, and on a failure lands on stage 1 (stage 2 on a critical failure), after any onset. Each stage's damage is dealt and its conditions applied. Whenever a stage's interval passes — counted at the end of that creature's turns — it saves again: a success lowers the stage (a critical success by two), a failure raises it; stage 0 ends it, and so does the maximum duration. Diseases that move a day at a time save during /tgm break overnight. A character's current afflictions and stages are on the sheet's Combat tab, and each turn's saves appear in the turn message.

Critical hits: Deadly and Fatal

A Deadly weapon adds its deadly die on a critical hit (two with greater striking, three with major), and a Fatal weapon's dice become the fatal size on a critical hit, plus one more fatal die — both rolled for you and shown in the damage line.

From initiative to the first move.

Thralls & summons

Both create temporary creatures: they join the encounter, land on the map, and are swept away by /tge end. Aliases keep counting up within a fight — if thrall2 dies in round one, round two raises thrall3 and thrall4.

Casting does the placing. When you cast Create Thrall or a summon spell from the sheet during a fight on a map, the bot asks where it goes right away: Place next to me (the nearest free cell around your token), or Pick a cell. A summon spell also asks which creature answers, from the list its rank allows. Manifest Eidolon puts your eidolon on the nearest free cell by you with no question. None of them get a turn of their own: they share yours. /tge thralls and /tge summon below still do the same thing by hand.

Mounts & vehicles

Riding is a plain Core Rulebook rule, not an archetype perk — any willing, size-qualified character can be someone's mount. /tgmount set only designates who's riding whom; the actual climb-on/off each round is the universal Mount or Dismount action in {action}'s dropdown (or the sheet's Combat tab), which drags the two tokens together and spends the real action.

A vehicle works the same way, but for a crew instead of one rider: it's created once and keeps its own HP and occupants from one session to the next, the way a party's own ship would. Exactly one pilot; any number of crew (manning weapon mounts, aiding checks) and passengers (just along for the ride) — a character holds at most one of the three at a time.

Once someone's piloting, Drive and Run Over show up in {action} for anyone aboard — real core actions, no archetype needed. A Trick Driver's own feats (Drive-By Attack, Power Slide, Express Driver) show up the same way once they've taken them, substituting Driving Lore for the usual piloting check.

Hazards

A trap or hazard doesn't join the roster like a creature — it attacks or forces saves directly.

Reaction alerts

When someone acts in a way that can trigger a reaction — a manipulate or move action, a ranged attack, a concentrate action, or leaving a square — the bot checks who in the encounter could answer it and tells them. It only announces: nothing is spent or rolled, and whoever holds the reaction still uses it themselves.

It knows Reactive Strike (the Fighter's, the shared class feat — Barbarian at 6th and several more classes — and a creature's own), Stand Still, Disrupt Prey, Not So Fast!, Reflexive Courage, Eidolon's Retort, Bone Burst and Implement's Interruption, each listening only for the triggers its own text names (Stand Still and Not So Fast! care about movement only). With a battle map it also measures reach — from where a mover started — and stays quiet for anyone out of it; without one the alert says the reach is unchecked. Someone who has already used their reaction this round isn't alerted.

{reaction} resolves one, right from chat: a dropdown of only the reactions above that you actually hold, kept separate from {action}'s own much longer list of everything else you can do. {reaction: stand still} (or any of their names) runs that one directly. Reactive Strike and Implement's Interruption also keep their original dedicated words ({reactivestrike}, {interrupt}) — {reaction} is a second way to reach the same roll, not a replacement for them.

A roll for anything else

Not every DC in the game has a feat or command of its own behind it — a locked door's Thievery, a rumor's Society check. /tgcheck rolls any named skill (or Perception, or a specific Lore) against a DC you give it, using the same rank-based modifier every other roll in this bot computes.

Degrees of success

The bot resolves the whole ladder rather than printing all four and leaving you to find the row:

A natural 20 shifts the result one step up — it isn't an automatic critical — and a natural 1 shifts one step down. A critical hit doubles the whole total, modifiers included. For a basic save the bot says what the target actually takes: none, half, full or double.

Multiple attack penalty

Tracked per turn, automatically: −5 then −10, or −4/−8 for an agile weapon. Flurry rangers get −3/−6 (−2/−4 agile). Thralls and summons share their master's counter, because their strikes count against it.

Dying, wounded and unconscious

• At 0 HP a PC — or a creature you flagged significant — falls unconscious and starts dying. Their initiative moves to directly before whoever dropped them. Everything else just dies.
• Recovery checks roll automatically at the start of the dying character's turn, against a DC that climbs with the dying value.
• Only healing to 1+ HP wakes someone. Succeeding a recovery check clears dying but leaves them unconscious.
• Wounded climbs each time dying is lost, and raises where dying starts next time. It ends when someone treats your wounds with Treat Wounds, or when you are back at full Hit Points and rest for ten minutes (a night's rest, or a breather spent resting).

Terrain at a glance

What /tgmap terrain can paint, drawn roughly as it looks over a map. The colours and shapes come from the same code the map uses. The open, locked and pulled states are what /tgmap interact switches a painted door, window, chest or lever to.

Building maps before the session

Every command above takes an optional slot (1–5, with a picker showing what is in each). Give it one and the command works on a saved map with no encounter running at all — so you can upload the room, line up its grid and paint its walls on a quiet afternoon, rather than making the table wait while you do it live.

Using a slot copies the map into the fight — image, grid, fog and terrain. Tokens are not copied, and nothing that happens in the fight touches the saved original, so the same ambush site can be used again next month.

What the map works out on its own

Once both combatants have tokens down, every attack roll gains a line reporting the geometry. It never changes the roll — it's information, not enforcement.

Large+ creatures and squeezing

A Large or bigger token's own move checks its whole footprint against the grid, not just the square it's anchored to. A 5-foot-wide gap it's too big to fully fit through is still passable — it just costs real difficult terrain, the same as painted terrain would (the two never stack). A space painted narrow is a genuine hard block for everyone, even Medium creatures, until someone Squeezes through it.

Start a fight with loot:true and ending it rolls treasure at the party's level, not the monsters' — PF2e's budget is indexed to what a party of that level should have accumulated, regardless of what they fought for it. Coin goes straight to the shared purse, because coin has no identity and nobody needs to decide who carries the gold. Items get a dropdown each.

The payout scales with the fight's real difficulty, not a flat guess. Every encounter's actual XP (Building Creatures' own level-difference table, summed across its whole roster against the party's level) counts toward the current level's real treasure budget — whether or not that fight pays out loot. Turning loot off for a while doesn't lose that progress; the next payout catches up everything owed in one go, because the math always asks "what does the level owe by now," never "what does this one fight owe."

Unidentified magic

The bot rolls the treasure, so nobody knows what dropped — not even the GM, who gets the real list privately. A magic item shows only its form: a Wand of Manifold Missiles reads as magic wand, a Cloak of Elvenkind as magic cloak. That's PF2e's premise — you can see a thing is magical and what shape it is, not what it does.

Checking the pool, then cracking one open — mock-ups, not live screenshots.

The party fund

One shared purse per campaign, so the loot doesn't have to sit on one player's sheet — which makes every payout a two-step correction and falls apart the week that player misses a session. Every change is announced in the channel on purpose: shared money with a visible trail is what makes it safe for anyone to move it without asking a GM first.

/tgtown generate level:4 gives you a whole town: a name, a region, shops appropriate to its size, somebody behind each counter with a personality and a hook you can hang a scene on, and stocked shelves. The AI GM writes original flavour by default, drawing only on your campaign's own notes for tone — never on any published setting.

Shops: /tgshop

Everything you do at a counter. The player commands only reach shops in the campaign's active town.

Browsing a settlement, then one shop's shelves — mock-ups, not live screenshots.

How big is a town?

The shop list is a ladder rather than a random draw, because the ordinary shop is the one that always exists. A village with a jeweller and no provisioner is backwards.

/tglookup searches Archives of Nethys for a name and links straight to the page — for the full description behind a feat, a spell's exact wording, or an item's flavour text. By default it searches every category at once: classes, class feats, ancestries, ancestry feats, backgrounds, general feats, spells, weapons, armor, shields, and alchemical items.

Known gaps

• Elevation is tracked and counted in distances. Falling is handled only for ledges (damage goes straight to Hit Points, with Cat Fall); Grab an Edge isn't, and flying and burrowing speeds don't otherwise limit movement.
