 The token expands to the name of the classtyppe of the class.

 This export token contains the formatted value (i.e. using a comma as a thousands separator) of the XP award appropriate to the CR of the creature. If fixed XP awards are not used, such as in 3e/35e, the token
 should return an empty string.

-This tag defines which monster role is to be assumed if none is listed. In Pathfinder, many creatures with an Intelligence score of 2 or less are listed as "No Role", because these creatures cannot take any class levels. However, if they should acquire an Intelligence score of 3 or more in some way, the can take class levels, and a monster role of "Combat" should be assumed. In order not to have to assign the Combat role to all these "No Role" creatures, it is easier to leave of the ROLE tag (see below) altogether in their race line, and default to the value of this tag in case they should acquire class levels, like this:

 To implement the system that compares classes and monster races for the synergy of "key" classes to determine CR, and thus fix Problem II, this tag will be used in the gamemode to list all valid "roles". As the "Spell" role, as listed in the rules, only applies if a creature has a spellcasting abilty of the exact same type as the class in question, it is replaced by using the spellcasting classes as individual roles. For Pathfinder, the tag would be listed in miscinfo.lst as follows:
-  MONSTERROLES:None|Combat|Skill|Special|Cleric|Druid|Sorcerer|Wizard
+  MONSTERROLES:Combat|Skill|Special|Cleric|Druid|Sorcerer|Wizard

 A new CLASSTYPE:Companion will be added. This will be used as the CLASSTYPE for all animal companions, familiars, and the like. These creatures never have their own CR—they are included in the CR of their master.

 ====CRMODPRIORITY:x (new)====
 If a character has multiple classes with different class types (such as, for example, an aristocrat/fighter), this tag determines which CRMOD is applied. For Pathfinder, if a character has a PC class, the CRMOD is –1, but if he has ONLY NPC classes, the CRMOD is –2. Thus, the PC CRMOD takes priority. The CRMODPROIRITY tag determines the priority in a way that PCGen will choose the CRMOD with the lowest value of CRMODPROIRITY.
