Samuel T. said: Hey Invincible Spleen nice job on this api. Any chance you would be willing to modify it to accept a !setAttribute command were we could tell it on the fly a new attribute to create if it doesn't exists or update if it does? I would love to use this to keep track of my burn and nonlethal values in a game and I've been looking for something to do just that. I would also love an ability to take the value of the attribute if it exists and then add a new value to it. For example this would be my macro !setAttribute burn +1
!setAttribute nonlethal-damage +[[@{level}]] This is starting to get pretty robust, but there are likely still ways you can creatively break it. var DefaultAttributes = DefaultAttributes || (function () {
