Inheritance. My system is similar, in that all entities are unique. However,
I use single inheritance (possibly many levels) to supply default values
for most things. Thus I have a "generic monster" that all monsters
inherit from. It supplies things like messages triggered when you try
to pick it up, etc. Customization then adds new properties, or overrides
default (inherited) ones. See the AmigaMUD section on my web pages for
far more detail than you have the interest to read. :-)

Don't design inefficiency in - it'll happen in the implementation.
