All the of the predefined RPG behaviours have descriptions that appear on the battle dialog and when right-clicking. However, there's currently no way to add a description to custom monsters or equipment to descript any special abilities they may have.

So it would be good to have a way to add custom descriptors to scripts. Either as a var, or some sort of editable property.

Additionally, a specific character could be used to indicate when a custom description should be divided into multiple lines or sections. Probably ';' or maybe '|' if we're being fancy.

Can confirm this works great in 1.3.0.499. It adds to any existing descriptors.

(For anyone wondering, semi-colons are what was used to split the description into multiple sections)

It looks like the description is only shown on equipment when holding it, and not while laying on the floor.

Doing some investigation reveals that equipment laying on the floor only ever shows the stat change. It would be quite a big change to how tooltips work to show the equipment properties. It's probably desirable information, however.
