You can create a custom inspector class for your script and add a HelpBox on it with any text you want. Look here: https://unity3d.com/es/learn/tutorials/modules/intermediate/editor/drawdefaultinspector-function

That's what I was lookin' for, thanks!

Edit: Just in case anybody finds there way here looking for a similar solution, here's my snippet with rich text enabled.

 [CustomEditor(typeof(AG.RTS.Gameplay$$anonymous$$anagers))]
 public class Gameplay$$anonymous$$anagersEditor : Editor 
 {
     private GUIStyle style;
 
     public override void OnInspectorGUI()
     {
         style = new GUIStyle("HelpBox");
         style.richText = true;
 
         base.DrawDefaultInspector();
 
         EditorGUILayout.TextArea(@"<b>Gameplay $$anonymous$$anagers</b>
 -----------------------------
 <color=blue>Entity$$anonymous$$anager</color> - Collection of every valid entity in-game
 <color=blue>Selection$$anonymous$$anager</color> - $$anonymous$$anages selected units in a collection
 <color=blue>Drawer</color> - GL draws in game-world", style);
     }
 }

 var Description : String;

This would work if the string isn't being called to anything.
