A character's '''Inventory''' is the menu page that shows the [[paper dollPaper Doll]] with currently-equipped [[itemsItems]], and the inventory where spare items are stored. The inventory system has changed a great deal from how it functioned in ''Diablo II'', and it will continue to evolve as the game development process continues.
One thing is clear.... Diablo III will offer much more storage space on each character, as well as a larger, shared [[stash]].
The picture to the right show how the inventory window is laid out in Diablo III. While the details of this display have evolved during the game's development, the basic form seems set.
The paper doll is on top, with shoulders and pants added to the item slots we saw in Diablo II. The [[talismanTalisman]] is seen below the paper doll on the right, while an empty space on the lower left must be reserved for some future feature.
Below the paper doll is the inventory grid, which has repeatedly changed in form and function. One feature returning from Diablo II is the gold counter, with the amount of coin a character is carrying shown numerically, and no inventory space required to hold the money.
[[Image:Inv-bag1.jpg|thumb|The large and small tabs.]]
The slots in Diablo III bags work very differently from the inventory slots in [[Diablo II]]. Diablo III is moving away from the "Tetris-style" inventory of different sized items, in preference for a more World of Warcraft style storage system with items fitting into slots, and additional bags increasing the storage capacity of each character.
The inventory storage has changed numerous times during development, and will likely change again. The most recent information was released on March 30, 2009, with the Blizzcast #8 [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcast-8-live-with-diablo-iii-goodies/]. As of that date, a character's storage space is divided into three separate tabs, opened by clicking them below the paperdoll. Each tab has its own color scheme and art style (stitches on Small Item Tab/Pouch), The Three Tabs are:
*'''Small Item Tab/Pouch''' - Used for storing smaller things like [[Rune]]s, [[Gem]]s, [[Scroll]]s and [[Potion]]s. There are 24 such spaces at maximum.
*'''Quest Tab/Quest chest''' - Used for storing Quest items. This tab has not been seen opened, so nothing is known about its maximum capacity.
==Stash==
The [[D3 Team]] has promised that we'll see a much larger town [[stashStash]] in Diablo III. They've also said the stash will allow easy item transfers between characters on the same account.
Since no specifics or screenshots of the stash have yet been revealed, we can only take them at their word.
