What is the 'Special' field in the defense section of an NPC in the combat tracker for?
I found the control (specialdef) in the xml and the code where it is made visible and invisible when the defense icon is clicked in the CT. I see no value that is ever parsed into it from the NPC. Beyond being a field the GM can manually type things into in the CT, does it have a special purpose?
On a side note, does the content in the SA (special attacks) section of the NPC not get added to the CT anywhere? Even as just text, it would seem helpful to have this somewhere so the GM didn't have to open the NPC sheet to find the existence of special attacks. I would even tolerate it in the defense section (in, surprise!, the Special field).
