That would pretty much make any judge that plays and reads games ineligible to judge a good wedge of any products sumitted wouldn't it? You can't be a writer or a publisher, now you can't be a fan? Might as well line up a bunch of publicans to judge, as the only d&d they are likely to know is...

Imagine a billboard poster for a film. King Kong A wonderfully entertaining and scary tale - New York Times Would you say that the NYT was involved in some way with the film? or because the critic liked it he shouldn't be able to judge it along with the other films released that year...

One question that springs to mind. Why aren't Minions swarms? That would cut down on the paperwork a bit. Instead of keeping count of 10 guys with 1 or 5 hit points (or whatever), they are counted as one creature for combat purposes. As exception based design seems to be in, it would be easy to...

Nor necessarily. I presume that you could decide to re-train the Novice feat to acolyte at 8th level or above, thus upgrading the power you can utilise. That could mean (depending on how re-training works), that you gain a power that can be used more often, for just the intitial 1 feat instead...

Duellist - martial striker; with a limited marking ability for those that have done him wrong. Witch Hunter - divine striker; anti-magic dude. Wilderness Guide/Hunter - martial controller; using the environment for advantage for his peeps. Diplomat - social (made that one up) leader...

I think its shift power (along with the getting rid of conditions affecting it) best reflect its time manipulation. 4 squares is nasty, based on what we've seen so far. What happens is you haven't made a save to shrug off a condition by the end of the encounter? (general question) Do you...

This seems like an excellent Epic tier campaign arc to me - steal the Book of Ressurection from the God of Life. Creep into his astral lair and spirit the book away to return home as heroes! and change the very way in which the world runs (should you teach others how to do it). Very Loki like.

I would say that the poison needle trap is a bit more simple than the spears through the flagstone trap mentioned above wouldn't you? ;) Terminology and design decisions aside, are you really suggesting that folk wouldn't use the simplest and cheapest forms of traps to stop interlopers *if...

Why on earth would the simplest traps to make/implement be outside the norm?

To my mind this development changes nothing. All it does is up the bar at 1st level. Sure, you'll all be able to take more damage at first, but from what i've seen this will simply be to accomodate tackling more foes at first level. The disparity between low hit dice classes and high hit dice...

As far as the perception bonus goes, i would simplify it so that these little bonuses don't add up (if indeed we do get stacking). It's a nice little atmospheric touch IMO, but i'd beef it up, simplify it and make it more specific. Allies of an Elf may take 10 at any time on Perception checks...
