The "grammar" of the feat description


Rules Questions


Maybe I have just picked simple feats in the past, but some of the new feats prerequsisites are confusing me.

Example
Prerequisites: Anticipate Dodge, Dodge, Mobility; base
attack bonus+9, brawler level 6th, or monk level 6th.

Does the semi-colon mean that a level 6 monk can qualify regardless of anything else?

Or are the other 3 feats(AD,D,M) required plus either BAB+9, Brawl6 or Monk 6?

Is this "grammar" explained somewhere?

Thanks


1 person marked this as a favorite.

It looks sloppy, but it looks as though you need all three feats and you must satisfy one of the last three requirements.


In standard grammar, a semicolon is used to separate lists that, themselves, are already separated by commas. So this basically just follows standard grammar rules with the first list being entirely necessary and the second list only necessitating one of the items as indicated by the 'or' conjunction.
