# VFEAT (Global: OTHER)

## Status

Updated 5.17.4

## Syntax

`VFEAT:x|x`

## Parameters

- x: Text (Name of feat)

Status:

- 6.05.04 (July 2015): JIRA NEWTAG-477 / Github PR #380
- - `VFEAT` is deprecated. Use `ABILITY:FEAT|VIRTUAL|` 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

- Grants any number of feats to the character as “Virtual” feats.
- The list of feats granted are a pipe-delimited (“|”) list of feats.
- The feats are granted regardless of the prerequisites for those feats.
- 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.
- Feats such as “Armor Proficiency (yyy)” that do not have a built-in chooser are a set of individual feats and therfore WILL have a space between the feat name and the opening parenthesis.
- Feats such as “Weapon Focus” are single feats with built-in choosers and will NOT have a space between the feat name and the opening parenthesis, i.e. “Weapon Focus(xxx)”.
- PRExxx tags can be used to assign new prerequisites to the virtual feats.

Note: This tag WILL NOT activate a CHOOSER inside of a feat. You must use ADD:FEAT to activate a chooser inside of a feat being granted.

## Examples

`VFEAT:Simple Weapon Proficiency`

The character gains “Simple Weapon Proficiency” as a virtual feat.

`VFEAT:Banana Barrage|PRECLASS:1,Ninja Monkey=1`

The character gains “Banana Barrage” as a virtual feat only if they have at least one level of “Ninja Monkey”.
