No I tried last night and I got back "???" for the result using tagabbrevs vs usesource. I assumed it was because they where two different "Things" and the usesource must not "inherit" the abbreviation part.

Oh well. I went a different way storing the value of "[ToS]" in the "srcBookInf" field on the class.

I was trying for a way to mimic your "[playtest]" info in Pathfinder that displays next to a class name. But link it to the "source" the class was from. So that "[ToS]" would mean "Tome of Secrets" and I could store it as the abbreviation attribute in the .1st file. This way it would become very "soft-coded".

Thanks!
