Feat Situational Notes

Is there a chance to get an adjustment to add a situational text to a feat on the character?

Have you looked in the community pack?

Yes. Though there is situational notes for most things, there is nothing for Feats. I had to add a very short note after the feat name (I do mean short, not much room there).

Feats can't have situation notes because Feats place situational notes onto OTHER things. In example a Feat would place a note onto skills or saves.

As this is a new request I need more info about what you are trying to do. Are you trying to adjust the "summary" text the short 100 characters you see on the Specials tab. Or you trying to add additional notes to the feats description text itself.

In addition some information on why you would want this. A feat has all the rules you need to use it normally. What would you need to add to the feat itself for?

Maybe it's a situation where one feat expands the uses of an earlier or related feat? I think there are a couple examples of this sort of thing where we have a script on the later feats in a chain do the #appenddesc macro to add text to the earlier feat. Anyway, that's my guess.

That would help in putting in additional information. Now if a feat could be designed as an adjustment to add to the #appenddesc macro through the source or duration field.

Added notes would work for some feats that are not finished all the way yet. Like Arcane Defense. There is no place to choose the arcane school. If there was a way to add to the feats name. As it is I have been using a Journal entry that I named Quick Reference to add misc. notes.

I don't see that feat defined in our files, is it a 3rd party thing?

Maybe you could use the "Change Livename" adjustment to overwrite the base name with something that includes whatever info you prefer?

Arcane Defense is in COM_3PPPack_RGG -- Feats of Spellcasting.
