cls_feat_xxx.2da files defines what feats classes can obtain or are granted automatically. The file is referenced as the column FeatsTable in classes.2da. While the default Bioware ones are cls_feat_xxx.2da, you can name your files anything as long as the column directs to it.
Active Racial Feats as Class Feats
If you want to grant a usable, active feat such as, say, "Darkness", to a race, eg: "Drow" - you cannot do it just by having an entry in race_feat_xxx.2da. It'll appear but be unusable!
To work around this if you mark a feat as usable by all classes but unobtainable (such as a required feat that is never granted) but you grant the feat by racialtypes.2da, and it is an active feat, it will not be available to use. Instead it should be added to every classes.2da FeatsTable entry (if you are doing active racial feats this way set the level requirement to 99 and use unique feats - not existing ones - for them). It then appears "properly" under class abilities like "Horse Menu" does.
2da Columns
| Column | Example | Valid Values | Description and Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| FeatLabel | BarbEndurance | Any text | Human readable description, unused by the game |
| FeatIndex | 194 | feat.2da entry | |
| List | 3 | 0 = Selectable on level up (as a general feat) 1 = General feat or bonus feat (e.g. fighter bonus feats) 2 = Bonus feat only 3 = Automatically granted feat | This is to define how the feat is available or granted. General feats are selected, for instance Quicken Metamagic feat is a general feat for most spellcasting classes (but not every class since ALLCLASSESCANUSE is set to 0), and uses 0 for this option on for instance the Bard class who can then select it on level up. Some feats are available as bonus feats but also usually selectable, like how Fighters can select Knockdown as a general or bonus feat at any level, by having it set to 1.
Some feats are bonus feats, such as a Ranger's Favoured Enemy. See cls_bfeat_xxx.2da for further information. Some feats are granted automatically, such as armor proficiencies at level 1, and have this set to 3. |
| GrantedOnLevel | 1 | -1 if selected through any usual levelup 1 or higher if granted or available at a particular level | Which level the feat is granted to the class. An entry of -1 means that the feat can be selected through standard levelling up. Note the order of the 2da is unimportant - you could have epic feats at the start and starting feats at the end, but most of the time it is in rough levelup order. |
| OnMenu | 0 | 0 - Passive feat or hardcoded active feat, don't put onto the class Radial menu 1 - Active spell-feat, put into class Radial menu 2 - Put onto Epic Spells list | For instance "Barbarian Rage" would be 1, while "Weapon Proficiency: Simple" or a new "Knowledge of Plants" (a passive feat) would not. It can then be used as a feat-spell (or if a hardcoded feat like Knockdown be used usually). Note feats that are hardcoded into menus, eg; Knockdown, do not need this setting to 1 since they appear in the Radial automatically. Setting 2 will put it under the Epic Spell list under spell casting. |
