This issue is caused by the Favored Soul ability. In this case, the ability is acting like Weapon Focus, but is not informing HL that the character has the Weapon Focus feat. I'll take a look at how to improve this.

Update: Resolved this issue. Also updated the Weapon Specialization ability to match.

@valid = pickexists[fQuickDraw]

In these cases, even if the character has the appropriate HasFeat tag, they still do not qualify unless they have the specific pick.

I'll take a look at these three classes. In general, the process works, but there may be certain issues. If you have specific issues, feel free to list them out if that's not unreasonable.

Looking for the pick and looking for the HasFeat tag are two different things. I'll take a look a the Stone Power feat. I can probably bootstrap Power Attack, then silence it so that the pick exists but isn't shown on the character. This would likely be easier than changing all the pick-req's that are looking for Power Attack.

Update: OK, I lied. Apparently there is a downside to switching from the #hasfeat look-up to the pick-req. Feats that count as another feat (such as Stone Power for Power Attack) won't qualify with the pick-req method. Lesson learned. This issue is fixed for Power Attack.

Thanks for the reports.
