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=,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.

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.
