[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 5649014, member: 1165"] I critiqued a product after it came out. The author was impressed. In addition for writing for Malhavoc, he works for WotC, so... I've got the sort of detail-oriented mind that makes me a good playtester (yes, I'm tooting my own horn - that let me write a long critique) but I'm well aware that I have limits. I'm a natural playtester, but not a particularly gifted one. I'm not going to contribute to any CharOp articles anytime soon - clearly there are people out there who known 3.x and 4e rules and combos better than me - and I would have been happier if there were some such people specifically recruited into the playtesting process as well. But I think my analysis of playtesting combos is correct. Short of buying and memorizing every WotC product (Dragon Magazine, Encounters, etc), and gaining several dozen points of IQ, there is no way I could playtest every combo for a new class, and I don't think it's reasonable to expect people to be able to do that.
