Extra Features

Overview

A file named extra_features.json, which defines additional links between NPC features and NPC templates and classes. This can be used to add both new and existing features to NPC Classes/Templates, including across LCPs.

Because of this, it is extremely important to correctly define LCP Manifest dependencies
