I kept walking away from the problem to see if I could get fresh perspective on it. Round midnight I was distracted by some D&D-related squee*. Each time I came back not having any better idea how to progress, and each time I missed the essential problem: it was a thousand word update.
That's all.
I'm blogging this so that maybe I learn from it.

Win-win-win-win.

*This being the new Essentials preview material, which pretty well confirms that the D&D Essentials line will:

- Appeal to nostalgia.
- Not change the game for people who like the existing character options.
- Give new powers/candy that people who like the existing stuff can play with, too.
Win-win-win-win.
