By the way, people, it would be helpful if you decided what characters you are going to drop in the next fight already. I guess it's better for everyone if these decisions are made before the battle begins this way you can have a thrill of finding out if your picks were good or not.

Yes, but that doesn't accommodate for the Torag effect, where a character is told what the battle's going to be, and goes "Well, shit, I can't even move around in that kind of environment." Unless the battle is the players unexpectedly getting warped into a fight, most people would be able to hear the mission briefing and go "Sure, I can handle that." or "Uh.. No, I don't feel like dying to the environment."

For example-

Rufus: "This is lava land, your next mission."
Ghelgath: "As much as I love you, I'm gonna have to pass."
Lucille: Shoves Gelgath through the portal.
Ghelgath: "NOT AGAAAAIN!"

Probably shouldn't happen.
