...halflings should return to their origins -hobbits- if we want that the power-of-the-genre-archetypes concept which D&D is based upon since it came to life spread its magic; it seems they do so and I'm very happy!
I really like the idea of the "cursed (or blessed) cultist". However, I do not like the idea of these things banding together. One minotaur would be the leader of a rag-tag band of lesser followers (goblins?). A minotaur should be a ferocious beast that commands attention.

we want them to be seperated from minutarous also we need more fact about the enslavement of the Daos and how many years have it gone sence the contract began ... i mean the contract says that daos are slaves of Yikaria in 1001 years.... and will it be a total war between Yak-men and Daos?
Yikaria has a very deep story that shouldnt be mashed up with minotaurs.. maybe they have a race war against the minotaurs (Like the githyanki and githzerai race war)
This is... very awesome. I like the idea of moves you activate when needed. You don't necessarily have to risk wasting a daily power when you might miss, you can just follow up a successful strike with an opportunistic combo. It also clearly separates the fighter's fighting mechanic from the wizard's casting mechanic, which is always activated daily-power style (with a few exceptions, like Feather Fall).
"We thought about casting minor spells as the kind of thing a wizard might use around a laboratory that also happened to be useful in a fight. For example, a cantrip used to ignite a torch could also burn a goblin. At the last minute, however, we decided that trying to make that design work would take too long to hit this playtest." - M.Mearls This is what I expect from DnDNext.
