PF2e Workbench update adds broad automation for Foundry tables

Version 7.0.7 keeps PF2e Workbench in the middle of Foundry’s PF2e workflow, while Starfinder 2e support stays experimental.

PF2e Workbench update adds broad automation for Foundry tables

PF2e Workbench keeps doing the unglamorous work that makes a Foundry table run faster. The latest build on its package page is version 7.0.7, and the release trail behind it shows a module still moving quickly, still patching the rough edges that GM screens and player turns expose first.

That pace matters because PF2e Workbench is not a single-purpose add-on. Jonas Karlsson, who publishes as xdy, describes it as a catch-all home for features that might otherwise live in separate modules, or eventually be absorbed into the core system. The result is a wide toolbox: NPC mystification, magic-item mystification, reminders for impossible or untargeted attacks, turn-action reminders, breath-weapon countdowns, hero-point prompts, NPC scaling, quick NPC rolls, hidden spell-casting, altered token animation speeds, rarity markers on character-sheet spells, automatic damage on hits, persistent-damage and healing handling, dying-wounded-unconscious-frightened automation, and support for house rules like Ancestry Paragon and Dual Class. It also bundles basic action macros, community macros, API hooks, and keybinds.

The newest releases show the kind of maintenance that keeps that toolbox relevant. Version 7.0.0 landed on April 11, 2026 and raised the floor to Foundry v14.360 or later, alongside PF2e 8.0.0+ or SF2e 1.0.0+. Version 7.0.1 followed on April 12 with a hero-point dialog that scales to party size and an optional reason field for individual hero points. Version 7.0.5 arrived on April 26 and fixed the scaling NPC help text after issue #1707, while version 7.0.6 came on April 30. That kind of tight release cadence tells you the module is still being tuned against real tables, not left to coast on old compatibility.

Starfinder 2e is now part of the picture too, but only carefully. The README says PF2e Workbench includes basic support for the Starfinder 2e system, then immediately warns that the support is experimental and has barely been tested. The same documentation notes that player-owned tokens will not be mystified, and that the module includes a sample rollable table called Workbench Adjectives. Earlier, version 6.35.0 added support for Starfinder 2e’s Heroic Reroll, showing that this cross-system work has been arriving piece by piece.

That broader support makes sense inside the larger Foundry ecosystem. Paizo and Foundry Virtual Tabletop partnered officially for premium Pathfinder content in April 2022, and Paizo says Starfinder Second Edition is designed to stay fully compatible with Pathfinder Remastered and future Pathfinder 2e products. PF2e Workbench sits right in that overlap, still growing because the Foundry table keeps changing and the module keeps meeting it there.
