[Pcgen-trackers] [JIRA] Commented: (CODE-181) Race file - FEAT not adding the FEAT

[James D. (JIRA) <ji...@pc...>]

    [ http://jira.pcgen.org/browse/CODE-181?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=10666#action_10666 ] 

James Dempsey commented on CODE-181:
------------------------------------

The FEAT tag is not deprecated and is still used extensively for monster definitions in the rsrd data. The FEAT tag should be adding any listed feats in as an automatic (no cost and ignores requirements) feat. This will have to be fixed before 5.16.3 comes out otherwise many monsters will be incorrect.

> 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.
