Oh crud.  I completely overlooked that in the docs:  CHOOSE:NUMBER only works for temporary bonuses.  Major drag, since this can be useful in so many ways.  Not just this but perhaps tracking a starting level.  I gotta FReq this.

2491393 - Multiple choices in one line

This FReq would enable multiple choices on one line.  This is set at P2,
so a new tag wouldn't necessarily be needed for multiples, just needed the
code work.

But if CHOOSE:NUMBER is set to activate only on the Temp Bonuses, then I
guess a new tag is needed.  Either that or amend the current to have a new
setting that'll define when the chooser pops up.  I.E.:
CHOOSE:NUMBER|MIN=2|MAX=4|TEMPONLY=Y|TITLE=Whatever
...where TEMPONLY=Y forces it to only activate when used in the Temp bonus
page.

Message:
I agree that it would be useful to have CHOOSE:NUMBER available for things
other than temp bonuses but I don't think we can just make it global, there
would be no way for a feat to know if the CHOOSE:NUMBER was meant for a
temp bonus or a standard feat CHOOSE usage.

I think we may need a completely new tag for this, even then there may be
a problem if both tags are used in a feat, which one sets the value of
%CHOICE?
