CHOOSE:SKILL|x|y|y[x]|y[x,x]|x,y,y[x],y[x,x]

• x: Text% (Search pattern by skill name or key)
• x: FEAT=Text (Feat, by name or key)
• x: TYPE=Text (Skill type)
• x: !TYPE=Text (Prohibited skill type)

• y: CLASS
• y: CROSSCLASS
• y: EXCLUSIVE
• y: NORANK
• y: RANKS=number (Skill ranks)

What it does

• This will produce a list of skills matching the stipulated criteria.
• Using the percent sign (%) following a skill name forms a search

pattern that will provide a list of skills that match the partial name provided.

• Using the FEAT=Text sub-tag will provide a list of skills chosen

by the referenced feat. The feat referenced must contain a CHOOSE:SKILL tag.

• Using the CLASS sub-tag will provide a list of all class skills

for the PC.

• Using the CROSSCLASS sub-tag will provide a list of all crossclass

skills for the PC.

• Using the EXCLUSIVE sub-tag will provide a list of all exclusive

skills for the PC.

• Using the NORANK sub-tag will provide a list of all skills in

which the PC has no rank.

• Using the RANKS=n sub-tag will provide a list of all skills in

which the PC has n or more ranks.

• The special value MAXRANK can be used with the RANKS

qualifier to identify skills that are currently at the maximum ranks allowed.

• Global qualifiers work for feats. Use of the qualifiers has the

following effect:

• ANY - Will return a list of all skills.
• QUALIFIED - Will return a list of all skills that the player

character is otherwise qualified for.

• USEUNTRAINED - Will return a list of all skills that the

player character can use intrained.

• Qualifiers can be logically negated by prefacing with the

exclamation point (!), i.e. !PC is a valid usage.

• Criteria can be logically combined by using the comma (,), logical

AND , and the pipe (|), logical OR . Logical AND s are evaluated before logical OR s.

• The SELECT tag is used in

conjunction with this CHOOSE tag to define the number of "selections" that can be made.
