Yes. That's reasonable.

However, the inventory(_base) shouldn't get too character specific. For
instance, containers like chests or bags and the like would possibly
have an inventory as well. As might have whole maps, to store all items
located on the map. Each of them will have special requirements, but it
would probably make sense if they'd share a common base class.

Yes, looks good so far :).

Oh. I'll add a note on this tomorrow. Never really tried anything else.
Currently running 2.13/1.4/1.35 on this box.
