# Domain Files

The Domain files are used to specify domain pertinent information.

The following tags are described in this sections:

FEAT

## How to Build a Domain

The first field in the domain line is the "Domain Name". This is a required field and does not have a tag.

Example:

`Holy`

The domain named "Holy" is to be created.

`Travel.MOD`

The domain named "Travel" is to be modified.

## Domain File Tag Dictionary

*** Updated

- 6.05.04 (July 2015): JIRA NEWTAG-477 / Github PR #380
  - The `FEAT` tag is deprecated. Use `ABILITY` instead.
  - All `FEAT` tags have been deprecated and replaced by the `ABILITY` system, which is more general. The `ABILITY` system can model feats, racial features, class features, traits, flaws, temporary bonuses, and so on, all using a common format.

*** Updated 5.17.4

Tag Name: FEAT:x,x

Variables Used (x): Text (Feat Name)

What it does:

- This is a comma-delimited (,) list of feats granted to a character.
- The hyphen (-) is used only in the `OUTPUTNAME` of feats and should NOT be used in the feat list for this tag. (See example below.)
- When including a feat with an internal chooser, subchoices can be handled one of two ways.
- - Subchoices must be specified within the tag. (e.g. Weapon Focus (Longsword)).
    or
  - Used in conjunction with the `CHOOSE` tag, `%LIST` can be used with this tag to provide the required choice.
  - .MOD Behavior: When modifying a domain with the `.MOD` tag, given an existing `FEAT` tag, the data included in a new `FEAT` tag will be appended to the existing tag data.

Example:

`FEAT:Blind Fight,Alertness`

The "Blind-Fight" & "Alertness" bonus feats are granted to clerics with this domain.

`CHOOSE:WEAPONPROFS|LIST <tab> FEAT:Weapon Focus (%LIST)`

The feat "Weapon Focus" is granted as an automatic feat with the weapon chosen with the `CHOOSE` tag.

.MOD Example:

Initial Domain: `Space Monkey <tab> FEAT:Alertness`

Modified By: `Space Monkey.MOD <tab> FEAT:Blind Fight`

Is Equivalent To: `Space Monkey <tab> FEAT:Alertness,Blind Fight` .

The "Alertness" & "Blind-Fight" bonus feats are granted to clerics with this domain.
