Do humans or Half-Elves receive random ability score bonuses to help balance them?

I believe that humans had a +1 to all saves. Didn't see half elves at all.

Anyone as yet been able to sneak a peek at Orcus, the Tarrasque or any of the other Epic heavies we haven't seen yet?

I wanna talk conditions:

Anyone know what Blindness does?

Cover? Total Cover? And what exactly do these do?

Anyone who played know the DDM rules? How similar are they to 4E?

I know that slowed drops a character's movement to 2. Cover is -2 and total cover is -5. I never really had to make a difficult shot, but the way it was explained, those were the modifiers. What I took that to mean was if I was shooting long range into cover, it was still only a -5. Don't quote me on that.

Are all minion monsters designed to die on the first hit?

That's what I was told from someone who kept running the delve. Not sure how true it was, but he seemed pretty knowledgeable.

They had Gnolls up all day. I kept walking by, but didn't see anything but. I think there were about 6 spreads there. Hopefully I'll see something new tomorrow.

Can you perform more than one opportunity attack per round ?

I wonder then if minions will be constrained to LL encounters or if they've worked them into Paragon & Epic level encounters somehow...

Didn't come up. I'll ask in the delve tomorrow. I'm going to grab some food. I'll be back on in a bit.

Could be there are specific heroic, paragon and epic minions?

I think one way they could be worked is "Zombie Mob" style. In one of the earlier posts, there was a mention of a Zombie encounter at a tavern in which when the fighter stepped out the door to confront what he thought would be 2 or 3, he found 12...While it mayt sound insade, I could see a Paragon party possibly having to fight their way through wave after wave of them.
