Race file - FEAT not adding the FEAT
------------------------------------

                 Key: CODE-181
                 URL: http://jira.pcgen.org/browse/CODE-181
             Project: Code
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 5.16.3
            Reporter: David R. Bender


RSRD loaded
PCGen 5.16.3

In the RACE file for Will-o-Wisp, the FEAT:Weapon Finesse does NOT add the feat to the "character". It appears to be ignored.

Also occurs for other creatures in the RACE files. Any FEAT:xxxx is ignored.

Subject: [pcgen] [BUG] [Andrew] Possible Error In Will-O'-Wisp Definition

Sorry, did not realize you were using kits so I just built the 
will-o-wisp on my own.

Yes, it appears to be a bug. Weapon Finesse should be given as a Free 
Feat according to the documentation since it is in the Race file and not 
the Kit file.

I've looked through the JIRA trackers and I can not find one that 
address' this issue so I am flagging this for Andrew to see if it should 
be added to JIRA, or tell me I missed one. (Didn't look at Sourceforge, 
cause my search-fu is extremely weak there)
