In addition, if you wanted them to select something based on the user choosing in a dropdown, the presence of a Target tag shuts that down. The special would in essence not allow a selection because it automatically selects itself.
Thanks Aaron. I had not gotten into this Target.? stuff yet as more important issues in d20 currently. I appreciate the info and will keep it in mind for when I take a look at the target tags...
