To simplify the instructions (I'm guessing you have 6 specific feats to add to everything);


In the editor, go to the General grouping (which is the default, so you're probably already there if you're opening a new editor file), and then to the Mechanics tab. Create a new item on that tab. Then, on the right-hand side, among the blue buttons, find one named "Bootstraps". As Aaron said, you want to bootstrap the feats. So, click that, then click "Click to add another bootstrap", and use the Choose button to find the feat you want to add. Then repeat that for the other feats.


If the feats have prereqs that you want to skip, then on that bootstrap, click the "Tags" button. As Aaron said, the tag you want is "thing.skipprereq", so enter "thing" in group Id and "skipprereq" in Tag Id. Note that in HL, you won't be typing in the quotes - I just needed to specify exactly what text to use. These are case sensitive.


Once you're done, save the mechanic, then save the file. Once you have a Mechanic, you can't use Test Now! on it, so switch back to the main HL window, and in the Develop menu, choose "Quick-reload data files", or the keyboard shortcut for that is ctrl-r.
