Nope, you're not missing anything. Currently, the only inventory checks
possible are by name or by archetype I believe. You can however use
python scripting to check other things currently. IMHO it would be nice
to be able to check arbitrary attributes as such, however that would
almost be getting to the point of adding a miniature scripting system in
the rules to check with and would certainly be non-trivial to code. Of
course it would be possible easily to implement checkers specific to
things like what god they follow, though that does feel a bit too
specific to me to be nice.
