Summary: LEVEL & HD tags need to be able to call all global tags

Initial Comment:
This is related to bug tracker: [ 900842 ] Feats not checked when 
granted from TEMPLATE.

The LEVEL & HD tags in TEMPLATE files allow the addition of certain 
abilities at st levels including CR, DR, SA, SR and FEAT. The 
limitation here is that the tag was not designed with choices in 
mind. I believe it was set up to automaticaly add feats but you can 
set it to add FEAT:TYPE=blah which presents a chooser. The tag as 
it stands does not check for prerequisites or even if the PC has the 
feat already. This is why it is reported as a bug though it has been 
suggested that this is simply the way it was designed to work.

The preposed solution is to expand the ability of these tags so that 
they can call any global tag. There would be an impact on the data 
as LEVEL:FEAT would then check for prereqs, the data would need 
to be changed to LEVEL:VFEAT to work as before.

This feature is needed for full implimentation of the Dawnforge 
campaign setting.

What I would like to be able to have in a Template is:
LEVEL:1:ADD:FEAT(TYPE=DwarfRacialTalent,TYPE=DwarfRacialTalent)
LEVEL:2:ADD:FEAT(TYPE=DwarfRacialTransformation)

The current LEVEL:1:FEAT:TYPE=blah is close to what I need
but suffers from two problems. First there is some funky
stuff going on with the prereqs and secondly the feat that
is chosen should also be able to in turn call up choosers
(i.e. they need to be able to have ADD:FEAT(..) of their own
and so on.)
These ADD:FEAT -> ADD:FEAT -> ADD:FEAT, choices in several
steps are common in FFG sources.

This would do away with the 210 templates I use today in
Dawnforge (which the user has to take manually). =)
