Hiding NPC 'Other' tab from Players

[WinterSoldier7]

If I have a scenario where I want a Player to take on the role of an NPC in combat, so drag the NPC onto their portrait, do they see the 'Other' tab?

I'm fairly sure the answer is yes, without double-checking, so wondered whether anyone had any suggestions for how I could prevent that from happening - or a work around for my problem below.

I use that tab for writing DM notes, such as the personality of the NPC, what they want, any secrets they may be hiding... therefore, happy for the Player to use them in combat, but don't want them seeing all that juicy stuff.

Any thoughts?

Yes, the player will see the other tab. The only way to prevent that would be to copy the NPC and delete the text in the Notes tab of the copy and share the copy with the player.

Or put all the juicy stuff in a story, add a link to the story from the other tab. Pretty sure (you should test) that when you share the NPC it will not share the story.

Both fair workarounds, thanks!
