I do have to point out niche protection isn't a priority in a lot of games. You can argue whether that is a good idea or not, but its less and less considered necessary the farther you get away from the D&D sphere. Since the OP is as coy as they are about their system, its hard to tell how...

Generally I do so because, well, its kind of the point. That said, I'm not the guy who's going to ignore the impact it'll have on other players or the game as a whole, so I'll do my best to steer around problems there unless the other actions seem pretty much oppositional to what the character...

It was about the first half, not the second. You're not any worse off being edited by your spouse than being edited by someone who won't say "no".

My personal suspicion is that fell apart with the Skrull plotline post Secret invasion.

I'll look them up then. Its sometime surprisingly hard to find older fiction in digital form (at least when people haven't taken advantage of copyright experiation to turn out really bad layed out versions to get by on the cheap). As an aside regarding the discussion of book length, one of the...
