# FEAT (Data: races.lst)

## Status

Updated 5.17.4

## Syntax

`FEAT:x|x`

## Parameters

- x: Text (Feat name)

Status:

- 6.05.04 (July 2015): JIRA NEWTAG-477 / Github PR #380
  - The `FEAT` tag is deprecated. Use `ABILITY` instead.
  - All `FEAT` tags have been deprecated and replaced by the `ABILITY` system, which is more general. The `ABILITY` system can model feats, racial features, class features, traits, flaws, temporary bonuses, and so on, all using a common format.

## What it does

- This is a pipe-delimited (|) list of feats granted to a Race (also known as “bonus feats”).
- The hyphen (-) is used only in the `OUTPUTNAME` of feats and should NOT be used in the feat list for this tag. (See example below.)
- When including a feat with an internal chooser, subchoices can be handled one of two ways.
- - Subchoices must be specified within the tag. (e.g. Weapon Focus (Longsword)).
  or
  - Used in conjunction with the `CHOOSE` tag, `%LIST` can be used with this tag to provide the required choice.
- When modifying a race, with the `.MOD` tag, given an existing `FEAT` tag, the data included in a new `FEAT` tag will overwrite the existing tag data.

## Example

`FEAT:Blind Fight|Alertness`

Race gets “Blind-Fight” and “Alertness” as bonus feats.

`CHOOSE:WEAPONPROFS|LIST <tab> FEAT:Weapon Focus (%LIST)`

The feat “Weapon Focus” is granted as an automatic feat with the weapon chosen with the `CHOOSE` tag.

.MOD Example:

Initial Race: `Darkling <tab> FEAT:Blind Fight|Alertness`

Modified By: `Darkling.MOD <tab> FEAT:Blind Fight|Combat Reflexes`

Is Equivalent To: `Darkling <tab> FEAT:Blind Fight|Combat Reflexes`

Race gets the “Blind-Fight” and “Combat Reflexes” feats as bonus feats.
