Common pitfalls

• ID matching: The id here should match an NPC template id from the NpcTemplate schema to properly link strings to NPCs.
• Required on create: The string property is required when creating or upserting entries. Updates can selectively modify the string value.
• Single file: Unlike some other StrSheet types, StrSheet_Npc.xml is a single file with no regional variants.
