===6.0 - None [Major Core Code Overhaul]===


==='''6.2'''===

Andrew's Draft List: (Tir Requested a List)

Most of these tie directly to the "Eclipse: The Codex Persona" set I'm working on.
* 1)  Ability to change HP per level in a single class
* 2)  Ability to assign skill points for a certain level dynamically
* 3)  Link a Variable from a Master to a "Companion" or vice versa
* 4)  CHOOSE:SPELL w/ other tag to Assign Spell to a Class
* 5)  Ability to Change "COST" of Ability  
* 6)  Add SUBRACE= to COMPANIONLIST tag



* 7)  Extra Choice for selected abilities - Apply Ability -> Choose from x selections (Apply Selection Choice) add ability to add text to Ability.
Reasoning: I take "Warcraft" normally it would grant a +1 to BAB and has a COST of 6. However, if I take Corrupted and Specialized the COST is reduced to 2.

* 8) Ability to create an Ability... Can be accomplished in LST Editor. Need better interface.

### Need for certain Applications to work
* 9) Allow CHOICE/CHOOSE to have a selection when the COST is 0 and the POOL has 0

* 10a)	Sort by 'group'.
* 10b)	Sort by Ability Grouping and not necessarily by Alphabetical order

example: Eclipse has certain abilities as part of a group

* Acrobatic
** Light Foot

* Action Hero
** Action Hero Stunts

* Deep Sleep
** Prophecy
** Angst
** Foo


* 10c)	We need to group things together without needing to add more OS Blocks

10 can be accomplished a few ways... Introduction of a new tag  SORTORDER:

This is a proposal in progress -

SORTORDER:x|y|z

* x = Alphabetical (A-Z,Z-A)
* x = List (How it's listed in the data set)
* x = GROUP
* x = SUBGROUP=
* y = Ability Name to follow
* y = Group Name (Used with Group (x))
* z = optional sort numbering system

LIST is debatable as that could cause issues, especially if .MODs are
followed.

Examples of usage:

* Dairy Strings <> SORTORDER:Group|Punk Rock|1
Will apply the Ability Dairy Strings as part of Punk Rock 'Group' and it
will be the first item

* Funky Town <> SORTORDER:A-Z|Dairy Strings

Funky Town will be listed in Alphabetical Order after the Ability Called
'Dairy Strings'

* Loves Rock <> SORTORDER:GROUP|Punk Rock|2

* Hates Rock <> SORTORDER:SUBGROUP=Punk Rock|Classical|1

There are several ways it can display with those four examples. We do need
to establish order of operation.

* Example 1

* Dairy Strings
** - Funky Town
* Loves Rock
** - Hates Rock

* Example 2
* Dairy Strings
* Loves Rock
** - Hates Rock
* Funky Town

This came about because of how PCGen sorts items by Type or Name. It'd be
nice to add Groups.

NAME - What I'm thinking the Sort Order would be set

* Acrobatics <> SORTORDER:GROUP|General (Defaults to A-Z sorting inside
the group)
** - Light Foot <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Acrobatics
* Companion <> SORTORDER:GROUP|General
** - Template <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Companion|1
** - Transference <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Companion|2
** - Might <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Companion|3
** - Additional <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Companion|4
* Augment Attack <> SORTORDER:GROUP|Combat Enhancement
** - Increase to Hit (+1) <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Augment Attack|1
** - Increase Damage (+1) <> SORTORDER:ABILITY|Augment Attack|1

Now I realize using Ability is probably a fallacy, as CATEGORIES can be
different for different Abilities; ergo we might need to be more verbose

"CATEGORY=Special Ability,Ability Name"

SORTORDER:CATEGORY=Special Ability,Augment Attack|1
