Just what it says. Many GMs will find or design homebrew NPCs, and have to painstakingly copy over each attribute into the NPC character sheet one-by-one. But there already exists an attribute list that each of those fields relate to. I imagine that there are a number of ways something like this can be accomplished, but the first and possibly easiest way that jumps to my mind is using Excel-formatted spreadsheets. Have two columns, one for the attribute and one for the value, and then the spreadsheet can just be uploaded to populate the relevant attributes automatically. This would involve homebrew content creators having to start providing these itemized attribute spreadsheets along with any NPCs they design, but I for one would gladly do the work once as a creator if it meant it would save hundreds of people having to replicate it again. I actually believe this could set the new standard for NPC content creation across the space, because of how convenient it will be by comparison to manually importing, and wouldn't be surprised if other services adopted it - especially as creators began making the spreadsheets available with all their content. Again I'm certain there are other, likely more efficient, ways to accomplish this. That's just my first idea. I'm just sick of hand-importing dozens of NPC sheets at each new leg of an adventure, haha.
