Hmmm, could you send me some generic concepts of how you would design those classes? I think I've got a pretty good idea of the concept of setting up specific classes like that, but I'm not sure exactly how to go about designing them, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks for getting me on the developers list, I'm guessing I probably did something wrong on my end, as my records don't even show a contact email saying I subscribed.

That way you can keep all your variables and player methods stored in one location plus you can use that class for serialization and deserialization etc when it comes to saving and restoring games. However, in more complex games you may even find it useful to have more than one class for your player character. For instance, in my game Mysteries of the Ancients I actually have two different classes. One is for Angela Carter, and the other is a special inventory class that keeps track of her weapons, gold coins, scrolls, and other inventory data. Its very modular, and I can add to or build upon those classes and reuse them in other games. P.S. I'll subscribe you to the developers list. Not sure what the problem is but I can add you manually from here. Cheers!
