> CHOOSE:CLASS|x|y|y[x]|y[x,x]|x,y,y[x],y[x,x]
> x is an PCClass PRIMITIVE
> A PRIMITIVE is an identifier of objects, and may include any number of specifications. In the case of PCClass objects, there are are the four global PRIMITIVES:
> x = a PCClass (specified by key)
> x = TYPE=w (w is a TYPE identifier for a PCClass )
> x = !TYPE=w (w is a TYPE identifier for a PCClass that would be prohibited)
> x = ALL (allow the choice of any PCClass)
> Note that a KEY for a PCClass whcih contains SubClasses can be a (just the key, indicating the parent class and all subclasses), a.a (indicating just the parent class if ALLOWBASECLASS is YES or indicates just the subclass a if ALLOWBASECLASS if NO), and a.b (indicating just the specific SubClass b
> There are also PCClass specific PRIMITIVES:
> SPELLCASTER = PCClasses that can cast spells (as defined by the use of the SPELLSTAT: token in the PCClass)
> y is a QUALIFIER
> A QUALIFIER is a special keyword that identifies a subset of objects that should be returned. Valid qualifiers for PCClass objects are any of the Global Qualifiers.
> A comma represents "AND", meaning multiple items are evaluated independently and then any item that appears in ALL of the items is added to the list.
> CHOOSE:CLASS|Wizard,Fighter
> will result in NO choices because no PCClass is both Wizard and Fighter.
> CHOOSE:CLASS|TYPE=Foo,PC
> would test for any PCClass that has the Foo type (as defined in the PCClass LST file) which is ALSO already selected by the PlayerCharacter
> This could also be written (probably more clearly):
> CHOOSE:CLASS|PC[TYPE=Foo]
> A pipe represents "OR", meaning multiple items are evaluated independently and then any item that appears in any of the items is added to the list:
> CHOOSE:CLASS|Wizard|Fighter
> will result in a choice between PCClass Wizard and PCClass Fighter
> All commas (ANDs) are evaluated before pipes (ORs), so something like:
> CHOOSE:CLASS|Fighter|TYPE=Foo,PC
> would include Fighter unconditionally, in addition to any PCClass that has the Foo type (as defined in the PCClass LST file) which is ALSO already selected by the PlayerCharacter
> [edit] Conversion
> CHOOSE:SPELLCLASSES becomes CHOOSE:CLASS|SPELLCASTER
> CHOOSE:CLASS|Fighter|Wizard
> remains unchanged
