# Global Tags

Global tabs are tags that can be used in any list file type. The following sections break down Global tags into a logical order for usage in the list files. More Global tags will be implemented with future versions of PCGen, making it much easier to create list files.

There are six sub-sections; ADD tags, BONUS Tags, CHOOSE tags, PRExxx Tags, Other Global Tags, and an explanation on how to use the DEFINE statement.

ADD Tags are a series of tags for (as you might guess) adding things to the character. In some cases a pop up window with choices will appear while in others the tag simply grants the item (or items) to the character.

BONUS Tags offer only a numerical value to grant the character, either positive or negative. Bonus Tags cannot use text values, only text variables.

CHOOSE Tags are a series of tags for providing methods of user input. The CHOOSE tag is under-documented at this time but we hope to improve on that as time goes by.

The DEFINE statement is explained in complete detail with the current preset variables that can be used. It explains how to put them into the correct order, how to create your own custome DEFINE statements as well as the operators (Mathematical formulae) that can be used and in what order they are dealt with.

PRExxx Tags are a series of tags for determining is the PRE-requisites are met to gain the desired item (Feat, Equipment, Class, etc).

Other Global Tags is a catch all page covering all other global tags. Everything from AUTO:WEAPONPROF to VISION is detailed here.
