1 Are you moving them out of the fire before you revive them or are you using the resurrection scroll to move them out of the fire?

2 There was a request in the previous game to have dexterity (finesse) based melee weapons for characters that were not ranged nor rogues. That being said it is true that you have very few skills that work with spears and finesse right now.

3 Hopefully it is something they will change. It fits to heal off this talent/ability combo.

I'll skip ahead

7 You can still play a wizard dwarf, it will just be one that has a bit more starting strength than another race.

8 Think of sneak attacks like this. You pick which character your are going to attack after in the first turn and afterwards it goes off initiative. (Ex You can wait til after the enemy mage uses his big spell)

9. All armor changes to match the race wearing it. This is a design I like but one that not everyone agrees with. It helps each race seem more interesting to me.
