Usage Examples

Adding a Note

Note Numbers

  • Each note is assigned a sequential number when created
  • Numbers are unique per character
  • Deleted note numbers are not reused (if you delete note #2, the next note will still be #4, not #2)

Permission Model

  • Players can only manage notes for their own characters
  • You must have a character selected to use this command
