LANG (Global: CHOOSE) - PCGen Documentation

# LANG (Global: CHOOSE)

## Status

New 5.17.4

## Syntax

`CHOOSE:LANG|x|y|y[x]|y[x,x]|x,y,y[x],y[x,x]`

## Parameters

- x: Text (Language name)
- x: FEAT=Text (Feat, by name or key)
- x: LANGBONUS
- x: TYPE=Text (Language type)
- x: !TYPE=Text (Prohibited language type)
- x: ALL
- y: ANY (Default)
- y: PC
- y: QUALIFIED

## What it does

- This presents a list of languages for selection.
- Use of the `FEAT` sub-tag will provide the language selected by the referenced feat. The feat referenced must contain a `CHOOSE:LANG` tag.
- Use of `LANBONUS` will provide a list of languages granted to the character by the `LANGBONUS` tag through the character’s race, class or template.
- Global qualifiers work for languages. Use of the qualifiers has the following effect:
  - ANY - Will return a list of all languages.
  - PC - Will return a list of all languages already taken by the Player Character.
  - QUALIFIED - Will return a list of all languages that the player character is otherwise qualified for.
- Qualifiers can be logically negated by prefacing with the exclamation point (!), i.e. `!PC` is a valid usage.
- Criteria can be logically combined by using the comma (,), logical AND , and the pipe (|), logical OR . Logical AND s are evaluated before logical OR s.
- The SELECT tag is used in conjunction with this `CHOOSE` tag to define the number of “selections” that can be made.

## Example

`CHOOSE:LANG|Common|Goblin`

Presents the “Common” and “Goblin” languages for selection.

`CHOOSE:LANG|Common,Goblin`

No languages are presented as no language is both “Common” and “Goblin”.

`CHOOSE:LANG|Common|TYPE=Foo,PC`

Presents the “Common” language and any languages that have the “Foo” type which are already selected by the Player Character.
