Question : add a tab on the NPC template

[Weptak]

Would it be possible in an extension to add a tab on the NPC sheet. I like to order my notes for my NPCs (like different descriptions, goals, etc) and I would love to have a tab where I can just complete these kind of informations.

I know a bit of xml, but I'm having a hard time figuring how to add such a tab (ideally for any rule set).

If anyone can help me, or point me in the right direction, thanks in advance !

Yep.

It should be very similar to adding a tab and fields to a character sheet. There are a few posts I found via Site Search that should point you in the right direction;

If it does not have to be a tab you could make a new Story entry then unlock the NPC and add the story entry to it. Picture attached.

I like this. Its certainly, imo easier than an extension, plus you are not altering the database structure. and there is nothing for you to maintain.

You can also just edit the existing tab adding your own stuff or just delete the existing stuff and create your own.

That is exactly what I've been doing. It just bugs me a bit to have story entry for each NPC, and so 2 windows for each named NPC...

And any layout in a story template reverts to simple text (no bold, title, quote, etc) when I try to copy-paste it in the NPC note tab.

The idea was to have something like a form with editable text, like in the main tab.
