As pointed out elsewhere, the shedu and lammasu are the same thing (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamassu). Perhaps they could be separate sub-species, but I don't see why they need to be different monster entries.
I also don't see why the phoenix, baku, or moon dog should be celestials (the poll doesn't allow another option). In fact, I'd think the couatl should be a celestial before any of those...

I have a fondness for good aligned monsters. As a DM I like to use them as color and helpful NPCs in a world which threatens the PCs. I believe that good monsters can provide hooks for adventures. "The wounded Moon Dog falls at the feet of the Ranger and begs for help against a pack of Yeth Hounds who are ravaging the woodlands."
I hope you keep them for D&D Next.

sounds like the CP system from skills and powers in 2e

Pondering the direction of skills. I asked myself what skills would I say I possessed in my life. Sadly, I can only think of two exemplary (Carpentry and Performance - day job vs. aspiring actor). My conclusion is this:
*Skills are vague in most cases - Looking at Perform (not a listed SKILL in this iteration as yet), obviously there are many types of performance (Dance, Oration, Acting, Painting, Sculpting, etc.). So it seems to me that a general Skill (ARTISTRY) can represent a sub-skill...

All that may be true, but admit it - this direction of D&Dnext is rekindling the flames of hope, and nostalgia is beginning to surface. The perfect mix of old and new (or so we hope).
PS - I love the idea of bounded accuracy, as I feel we are finally going back to role playing rather than knockoffs of video game design bonuses.

Tables can be such fun. Particularly when they add so much to your NPCs and monsters.

As a matter of fact, I like Gnomes and Mr. Greenwood, but...

I've had too many bad experiences with gnomes. They always get played as really horrible NPCs that you want to punch in the face and leave on a roadside while your're being followed by a band of orcs.

(con't) I think that the game does need to reward both good Character Building AND good Party Building. I mean, it is fun sometimes to make a special group that breaks from the norm, but part of the reason that is fun is because it does in fact make the whole concept more challenging. A group of all fighters is great in straight combat, but the lack of the other 3 archetypes makes it harder to avoid traps, handle swarms, counter magic, and heal magically, as well as repel undead. A party of all...

I love playing clerics, but I also like the option of DMing a world inspired by Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones - both settings with lower magic and less healing. Just as Mike Mearls likes to run an all day castle siege, and Chris Perkins a new campaign with lots of political intrigue, I think the basic rules should allow for an easy to use option for non-magical, or more rare, or slower forms of healing. Keep up the good work, Mike - and thanks as always for listening!
