#Every line that starts with a '#' is a comment. You may want to remove these comments, if you use this file to set up

#your own data. Remember not to put the '#' at the start of your own data, as PCGen would see it as a comment only.

#

#When Running PCGen, you can select "Help > Documentation > List Files > List File Tag Index > Feat File tags" to find

#out how the tags in the feats file work. Some of the tags used here are global tags. You will see an alphabetical

#listing of all PCGen tags to the left of the documentation window. You can find the global tags there as well.

#

# Abilities are the newest method for all aspects of class & race abilities. Currently we use hidden feats to emulate

# class and racial abilities. The advent of Abilities allows us to use one standard format for a variety of things.

# Generally Abilities are exactly the same in format as a Feat with the exception of a NEW tag CATEGORY which tells

# PCGen what the ability is to be categoried as - example: My Ability is part of the my_abilities category, So I can add

# points only to the my_abilities allowing very small and restricted lists. Another example would be Fighter Bonus feats.

#

# Feat and ability are used through out this example as they almost the same thing - ABILITY can also be used to add "Feats"

# using the CATEGORY:FEAT tag.

# You can also use PREFEAT for any CATEGORY:FEAT, for the rest you'll need to use PREABILITY:x,CATEGORY=<category>,Foo,TYPE.Bar (x is the number)

#####1st Example

#My Ability			CATEGORY:my_abilities		TYPE:General.DataMonkey		DESC:See Text						SOURCEPAGE:Custom

#My Second Ability	CATEGORY:Special			TYPE:MonkeyFoo			DESC:This is the great second ability.		SOURCEPAGE:Custom	PREABILITY:1,CATEGORY=my_abilities,My Ability

###SAMPLE FOR 'Ability by Skill'

#Ac Ba			CATEGORY:AbilitybySkill		TYPE:AbilitybySkill.Movement	VISIBLE:YES		!PREABILITY:1,CATEGORY=AbilitybySkill,Ac Ba	PRESKILL:1,Tumble=12	PREVARLT:AbilitybySkillCount,AbilitybySkillMax	DEFINE:AbilitybySkillCount|0		DESC:<appropriate description>	BONUS:VAR|AbilitybySkillCount|1

#####

#Each ability takes one line, just like a feat, and the first field must be the abilities' name. In the Example the name of the ability is My Ability.

#When naming feats you should only use parentheses at the end of the name if the name is not duplicated elsewhere. This is

#because of how PCGen names abilities which can be taken multiple times. For example, the Feat/ability Weapon Focus when taken will display

#as Weapon Focus(Dagger). Another example is Armor Proficiency (Light), there is no feat named Armor Proficiency so this name

#is fine. What is happening is when PCGen finds a feat with parentheses that duplicates the name of another feat it assumes

#that feat is an instance of the one without parentheses and does not display the one with parentheses.

#

#The TYPE tag is holding a . (period) delimited list of the types the ability/feat is.

#

#The DESC tag is used to hold the description of the Ability/Feat. In our files we usually keep the description brief, so the user

#still need to own the book to make use of the data, but for your personal files can get as elaborate as you want there.

#

#The MULT tag determines if a ability/feat can be taken multiple times. If the value is set to YES, then you MUST also use a CHOOSE

#tag.

#

#The CHOOSE tag must be paired with a MULT:YES tag in feats for it to work properly. It will display a popup window that asks

#for a selection according to what is being called for. There is a multitude of existing CHOOSE tags in PCGen. If you are

#looking into the documentation under List File Tag Index, you can find them listed under the topic "CHOOSE tags".

#

#The BONUS tags are a group of similar tags, that grant some form of Bonus to another already existing tag. To read a description

#of them, look in the List File Tag Index under the topic "Bonus tags".

#

#The SOURCEPAGE tag can be used to hold a reference to where you can find the feat. This will be displayed in PCGen.

#Vampire is the name of the template. It will appear in the templates list on PCGen's Races tab and will be used if a template

#is added by use of the TEMPLATE tag. The name is the only entry that is mandatory in a template. The other tags are used

#as they are needed.

#

#The HITDIE tag can be used to specify the new Hit Dice size the template grants to the creature.

#

#The CR tag increases the Challenge Rating by the given amount.

#

#The DR tag defines the damage reduction this template bestows.

#

#The LEVELADJUSTMENT tag raises the Effective Character Level (ECL) of the creature by the number supplied, in this case 8.

#

#The TEMPLATE tag grants the supplied template to the character. In PCGen Templates are not only the templates as defined

#in the games, but we use them also as overlays when repetitive data applies to a group of creatures. In this case the Undead

#template applies the Undead traits to the character.

#

#TEMPLATE:CHOOSE will supply a popup window of the choices presented in the tag that are | (pipe) delimited (The user is allowed

#only ONE choice from the list). The given choices must be existing templates, or they will not be eligible. If only one

#choice is eligible, the TEMPLATE:CHOOSE tag will automatically select that one and no popup window will appear.

#

#The SOURCEPAGE tag can be used to hold a reference to where you can find the template. This will be displayed in PCGen.

#

#The SA tag is holding a text that will be displayed as Special Ability on the output sheet. You can have variables displayed

#in it. In "SAB:Dominate (Su) DC%|VampireAbilityDC" the text after the | (pipe) is a variable name. It will replace the % (percent)

#sign and display the value of the VampireAbilityDC variable there.

#

#The DEFINE tag creates a new variable and sets its initial value.

#

#The PREALIGN tag is used, so it is required that you have a certain alignment to be able to select this template. There is a

#multitude of existing prerequiste tags in PCGen. If you are looking into the documentation under List File Tag Index, you can

#find them listed under the topic "PRExxx tags".

#

#The BONUS tags are another group of similar tags, that grant some form of Bonus to another already existing tag. To read a

#description of them, look in the List File Tag Index under the topic "Bonus tags".

#

#The FEAT tag gives a Feat as Bonus Feat to the character. You can grant multiple Feats by listing them seperated by the | (pipe)

#delimiter.

#

#The RACETYPE tag changes the race type of the creature. Each race in PCGen has a RACETYPE tag, when another RACETYPE tag is encounter

#(such as when a RACETYPE tag exists in a template) the characters race type changes to the newly applied RACETYPE, a character can have only one race type at a time.

#(RACETYPE is used internally by PCGen for matching up with Monster HD, and for references to race, such as the Rangers Favored Enemy.)
