@little birdy's Assassin
Skills:
1) Martial Arts Skill Tree
2) Fade
3) Shadow Master
4) Fire Blast
5) Shock Web
Weapons:
Katar (2x Claws: 1)
Hatchet Hands (2x Claws: 3)
Long Sword (1x one-handed: 7)
Long Battle Bow
Double Axe
War Staff
Throwing Spear
Body Armor:
Splint Mail (9)
Ring Mail
Scale Mail
Field Plate
Shields:
Gothic Shield (8)
Kite Shield
Helms:
Crown (7)
Helm
Belts:
Light Belt
Gloves:
all
Boots:
(Leather) Boots
I hope I got it right? From what I understood, this time neither boots nor gloves nor belts are rolled at all, because everyone has to use Light Belt and Leather Boots and may not use any other Belts or Boots. Gloves are usable no matter what type for all players.
The rolls look pretty good - Martial Arts tree plus Shadow Master plus Fade probably makes a pretty safe build
Good luck!

Vang made a rules change compared to previous iterations of this tournament: Back then you were only allowed to use items of the item types you rolled, which was true even for white/grey items. So there was no need for special rules regarding Runewords (you could make them in the item types you rolled).
This time around though we are able to use all white/grey items, even those who are not on our list, but we aren't allowed to make runewords in them according to the rules. As far as I know Vang and these tournaments, he probably meant that we weren't allowed to make runewords in grey items we didn't roll, but are allowed to make runewords in items of the item type thar are allowed in magical+ quality for us.
So in your case, you could make weapon runewords in the following weapon types:
Katar (2x Claws: 1)
Hatchet Hands (2x Claws: 3)
Long Sword (1x one-handed: 7)
Long Battle Bow
Double Axe
War Staff
Other weapon types can only be used as white/grey items without a runeword inserted.

Perfect. That was my interpretation of the rules after reading them through more carefully. Just wanted to be sure I was on the right track.
Edit: and I’m assuming armor, shield, and helm rune word are also accepted in the base types that we rolled?

@little birdy Grisu is correct. All items rolled that are available can be used as magical/rare/set/unique/runeword (In addition to equipping white or grey items as well of those)
Only non-rolled equipment has the no runeword ruling. (Example, you find a Trident and make a Malice out of it, you can't equip it as you don't have a Trident. (Your mercenary could though), but if you kept it as EthEthSkull you could equip and use it.
Equipping all white/socketables adds a considerable amount of benefit early on compared to early iterations, but I wanted to specify you could socket them, but not create runewords.
The biggest benefit of this ruling is easier to get high-damage base items equipped (Or a RalRalRal item quickly!), white belts with more slots than a Light Belt, and tossing on a cool topaz socketed headpiece/armor out of any item.

This looks very doable. I had been thinking of making a teleportless sorceress anyways.
About the prerequirement skills: is usage of those allowed as one point wonders?

Use of the skills are not allowed unless it is one of your 14 or granted by an item.This looks very doable. I had been thinking of making a teleportless sorceress anyways.

This rule changed this year to allow use of any skill granted by an item, so you could use firebolt as an example with a +3 staff/orb or teleport via a staff/orb.
Previous iterations only charges/oskills were allowed (and benefits from passive skills obtained), but this year I wanted to try something a bit different.

Nice! I think a Holy Freeze Zealot will fit the bill quite nicely! I'll get him started after the RFL wraps up.

Ok, I will go by the spirit of this and not put a point in (prerequisite) Warmth before I have enough skillpoints and level available to get the allowed Enchant in one go.
Did I understand this correctly: any white / socketed is ok to use? So one is not limited in any way regarding whites/socketed items? In other words is my regular starting move of shopping a white Scepter allowed?

You can put a warmth point in even if you never actually get Enchant as it is a pre-req.Ok, I will go by the spirit of this and not put a point in (prerequisite) Warmth before I have enough skillpoints and level available to get the allowed Enchant in one go.

Yep, any white/socketed item. Grab that scepter!

I also have a qestion regarding the rules: As Mercs are not restricted regarding the weapon does that mean that i could give him any runeword in any weapon?
For my druid i am leaning towards a flaming mauler.
