Hi! I think it could be helpful to allow the Stat, Status, etc. values to be directly editable (as in a form field), as well as editable via the story input. Perhaps to keep this the same "shape" as the in-line-story-updates, these direct edit events could create a log item noting what changed. (I haven't looked at the code so I'm not sure if it's important for all events to be in the log, but I assume it is, since there re-writable history concept there).
I love a good keyboard-based workflow and really dig the way the stats change directly as a result of log items, but I think learning the syntax could be a bit of a hurdle for new users.

Perhaps another solution would be to provide clickable "syntax snippets" near the entry field such that someone could click a change health button and have a templated syntax appear in the log entry field that they can then edit. like [health +0].

To be clear, I'm referring to basically all of the values in the left sidebar.

@vcavallo I think this would be a nice feature! Personally I'm more for the syntax snippets as I don't want to crowd the side bar with display elements and interactable elements.
