## Syntax

`FAVCLASS:x|x.y`

## Parameters

- x: Text (Base class name)
- x: ANY
- y: Text (Base class or sub-class name)

## What it does

- Determines the Race’s favored class.
- Classes with sub-classes must use the (x.y) syntax and must include the base-class name or the sub-class name.
- More than one class may be included as a pipe-delimited (|) list with all listed classes identified as “Favored”.
- Special type ‘ANY’ will grant the character’s highest level class as Favored.
- When ‘ANY’ is used no other class is allowed.
- .MOD Behavior: When modifying a race with the `.MOD` tag, given an existing `FAVCLASS` tag, the data included in a new `FAVCLASS` tag will overwrite the existing tag data.
