Each Team+ book comes with a “Virtual Tabletop Info” sidebar near the table of contents. There, you will find both Foundry and Pathbuilder2e links, or if they are not published, a Coming Soon! stand-in.

These addons are available with the PDF, but are released after its initial publication. They are added through an update, announced over on Discord or through Pathfinder Infinite. If you are waiting for a VTT version of your pack, check back on either portal frequently for updates!

 

Once added to the PDF, you will find the needed URLs under the appropriate headers. Click on the link under the Pathbuilder 2e header to be redirected to where the file can be downloaded from. For this example, we will be importing the remastered version of Clerics+, but any pathbuilder JSON will have the same steps.

Click on the link labeled “Get the JSON Import file” and follow the normal steps for your browser or device for downloading files. You will need to know where this file has been downloaded to in order to import it into Pathbuilder. Browsers tend to default to downloading to your Downloads folder, though some will instead default to bringing up a download popup window to allow you to select your own download destination. Mobile devices usually have a download folder as well, but the exact location can vary by operating system and specific model, so if you don’t know where that folder is located, a quick Google search should help you find that folder.

Pathbuilder Importing

The exact process by which you import differs based on if you are using the web version or the mobile version. As of writing this, Pathbuilder is, to the best of my knowledge, not on iOS yet, so I don’t know how the process may or may not work differently from Android.

 

Please note that importing JSONs requires a paid version of Pathbuilder 2e, and that you need a separate payment to upgrade the mobile app and the web version.

Android Importing

1) Click on the “App Options” button.

2) This will open a window with a number of available buttons. Click on the “Custom Packs” button.

3) At the top of the “Custom Packs” window is an “Import Custom Pack” button. Click on that.

4) This should bring you to your downloads folder. If it doesn’t, or if you downloaded your JSON into a different folder, navigate to the folder that holds your JSON. Select that file, and you should see a window like the one below. Click on “CONTINUE” to import. This leaves you at the “Custom Packs” window. Import more files if you want to, and then close the opened windows by clicking the “Finished” button at their bottoms.

Web Importing

1) Click on the “Menu” button in the top left of the window.

2) Once in the menu, click on the “Custom Pack” button.

 

3) This opens a new overlay window that contains every type of custom content supported by Pathbuilder. Once you have one or more files imported, you can use the headers at the top to navigate through all the different kinds of content you have imported. This is also the interface through which custom content and their importing JSONs are created, though that’s outside of the scope of this article.

To import an already created file, click on the “Import Custom Pack” button on the bottom of the overlay window.

4) Your browser should have opened a file upload popup window. This is the one from Firefox, though all browsers should have similar looking windows. Navigate to where you downloaded the JSON file to, and select that file. Press “Open” or hit enter on your keyboard to begin the process of importing the file to Pathbuilder.

5) Once the file has been uploaded, which should happen functionally instantaneously, you will have a second overlay window open. Pathbuilder has read the file, but has not yet added everything in case you imported the wrong file, made some other mistake, changed your mind, or otherwise wanted to cancel the import before it finishes. The window shows the name of the custom pack you are importing (which can be and often is different from the name of the file on your device) and how much of what kind of content the JSON holds. Hit the “Accept” button at the bottom to continue adding the custom pack.

6) Everything from the custom pack has been added, but not everything loads properly when added in the middle of using Pathbuilder this way. To ensure everything shows up and works properly, you need to refresh your window. Thankfully, Pathbuilder knows this and prompts you to refresh the page to complete the custom pack installation. Click “Accept” to refresh

And that’s it! Repeat this process with different files if you want to import multiple custom packs. If you get a newer version of a custom pack that you want to import, just re-import it. There’s no need to go through the process of removing the custom pack first. Pathbuilder is built in such a way that it knows whether two feats are actually the same feat or different feats with the same name, though exactly how it does so is outside of the scope of this article. If a feat is a version of one you have already imported, the new version will overwrite the old one, allowing you to incorporate errata (or theoretically go back to an older version) easily.
