The NPC command is used to create, edit and load NPC Templates. NPC stands for Non-Player Characters. The templates are used to generate characters in the world, which once created are as fully-featured as player characters.

The core syntax to use this command is as follows:

npc edit new simple|variable - creates a new NPC prototype
npc edit <id|unique name> - opens prototype for editing
npc edit - shows the currently open NPC. Equivalent to doing NPC SHOW <ID> on it.
npc edit submit - submits the open NPC for review
npc edit close - closes the open NPC
npc edit delete - deletes the open NPC prototype (only if not yet approved)
npc edit obsolete - marks the NPC as obsolete, and no longer loadable
npc show <id|unique name> - shows info about prototype
npc review all|mine|<admin name>|<id> - opens the specified NPC prototypes for review and approval
npc clone <id|unique name> - clones an existing prototype to a new one (also opens for editing)
