People over the age of 50 are most likely to experience exploding head syndrome. Women are at a higher rate of experiencing it than men. It has been reported in people as young as 10 years old.
Seriously.

Plus, energy resistance will be killer.



True, but then we'll just have a situation where nobody can hurt anyone thanks to hyper-defence on all sides. That will also just favour non-energy-based attacks. A Dorje of Swarm of Crystals might be more expensive than Burning Hands but if it can cut through later waves it's going to be the way to do things.

I'm sure you guys will know more after the playtests. I'm just getting the impression that options for doing this are limited - cavern means ranged and mobility are less useful, energy resistance means energy attacks will only work for a while, magic missile-type tactics will work but will be less effective (single or few targets) etc. How much room is there for innovation? (Not trying to be critical, just throwing out some thoughts)

There is lots of room for innovation in my mind.  I actually have 4 different ideas for the contest, you just have to think non-caster.

Well... I'm not saying I don't have a few ideas. It just seems like non-caster with a caster dip for item use is going to be one of the strongest options whilst a lot of options (traditional caster, ranged fighter, etc) simply won't work well at all. I'll await more feedback from the playtests, though.

By the way, would I be right in assuming that the normal skill packages won't apply here? Things like Scout and Assassinate could be pretty useful (not to mention Intimidate).

Attack and Defense packages only happen in normal 1v1 fights, and not even in 1 vs monster fights.
