As reported here, the March rules updates are in effect. There's a couple in the PHB and PHB2 that will probably come into play quickly - so you should plan accordingly. The next pairings will have these updated rules in effect, so if you haven't updated by the next pairings, people should post violations on those characters so they get updated.

Regarding the Update's concern with stacking bonuses, I wanted to point out that everyone should indicate the type of bonus their power/feat provides.
I also wanted to make a suggestion: If a power/feat provides an untyped bonus/penalty, perhaps you may want to include "untyped" on the PC sheet.
For example: Instead of "the target takes a -2 penalty to AC", perhaps it can say "the target takes a -2 (untyped) penalty to AC".
I know it may be redundant, but I think by clearly stating that a bonus/penalty is untyped it will help out the Player and Pitlord with stacking bonuses.

May Rules updates have been posted. Not sure how many make a difference here - but good to note them in any case since they supercede anything else we use. Let me know if there are any questions.

July updates have been posted. Lots of interesting changes. Battlemind's Blurred Step is "fixed" to a free action (it was an opportunity action before that made it so the battlemind wasn't "sticky" at all). I'm very glad to see it. Also of note is Magic missile - which is changed to an "always hit" type of attack. Bless and Shield of Faith are reduced to minor actions as well. Very impressed with this update - still glancing through it. Changes from this go into effect starting July 8th pairings.

October updates have been posted. And in a stealth update to the compiled updates - they've added in the new ability choices to the races... thank you for not including that in a regular update where it would have been noticed... What is currently missing from the update though is item rarity - so I guess the CoCo will dodge that bullet for the current time and worry about it later. If there's anything else that was added that you notice - post it here so that it can get some attention. EDIT: Great Fortitude, Iron Will and Lightning Reflexes are no longer paragon feats? Didn't see that mentioned anywhere else Also, the rapier is no longer a superior military weapon - did anyone take a feat for that?

The October update PDF does not include any of the items that were previously included in the DDI preview PDF, such as updates to Burning Hands, Shock Sphere, Sneak Attack, Fireball, etc. There is a lot of items hidden within the Compiled Updates.
If you PM me your email, then I'll send you a PDF of the DDI preview document that lists all the "hidden" updates.

Yeah - I think I'm going to pore through the individual update files so that I don't get bogged down in the 123 compiled one...

Wow - some of those changes are huge.
Okay - everyone in Sagaris and the Monster Arena should probably do a good read through of the appropriate update document for the characters they use.
I still don't see anything about item rarity in the updates - so we get to ignore that issue for now.

Oh and if anyone wants to change stats based on the new racial modifiers, please post them to the blackmarket for approval (no credit cost, but do want to track it)
