You're gonna lose a lot of the playerbase there, and then who would wear my "skimpy glitter-covered crotchless thong panties of Drocillan pride"?

You're basically deleting everyone.

Actually, thinking back there is one thing that I wonder about during this year's Nature challenge. Were there more clues than the total amount of clues you had to solve? Because I recall some people talking about a clue involving "diamond checkered guards" or something that was in the Meliashmora. But I got no clues pertaining to diamond checkered guards, and I didn't have to drop by the Meliashmora at all.
Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
I found the clue of "glass floors and mansions" to be hilarious that it turned out to be aetherplex. Everyone basically was checking climanti, lirangsha, clarramore.

The answer ended up being a hut in the mountain paths below Meliashmora. But it's possible there were extra clues, yeah.

According to my reading of the justice rules, these are all of the allowed abilities, artifacts/items, and buffs you might want to use. I may have missed something, especially for a newer skill, or one with some effect not obvious in the AB. I have placed question marks where I am unsure of the exact mechanics of a skill. It should be allowed still, it may just not help.
-Any racial/spec choice for stats (including -woods, if you must)
-Illithoid - Illdrain
-Kephera - HiveMind
===== Artifacts/$$$ =====
-Great Rune of Charisa
-Life Runes
-Regeneration Runes
-Genie Bottle Curios
-Bard Gnewpie
-Poteen Pot (Increased ego)
===== General Buffs =====
-Throne/Tosha
-Karma - Beauty
-Truefavors (!!)
===== Constructs =====
-Moonaura (The Living Altar of Lunar Glory - Serenwilde)
-Spike (The Iron Machine of the Tainted Fury - Magnagora)
*These can be used to enter the debate with a higher initial ego than usual, though not a higher max ego. The benefit to doing this is arguable.
One question: Is the duration on Paradigmatics - Reimagination sufficiently long to qualify as a 'permanent buff'? Netzach lasts an hour, and I suspect it is on the 'okay' list. Reimagination on self is significantly shorter, but still more than long enough to be applied beforehand and last through even the longest of debates.
EDIT: Added constructs and Telepathy - Hivemind
EDIT2: Added Poteen.
Holy crap that is a big list.
I believe the simple rule was it cannot give any ego regeneration (I do not know of any skill in harmony was allowed because this would require checking if a heart mantra was used to check for regeneration). I cannot recall if beast healing was allowed, it is a common skill, so not sure where it stands.
Still a fan of convert everyone to a special justice race to make everyone equal. No buffs, artys, etc able to help. Main 3 cures only, let it become a game of skill!
Beast healing is not allowed, all beastmastery is out.
I excluded a skill in harmony that would be useful, because it specifically does add regen to ego as a heart mantra. Lumphet doesn't add ego regen, it "allows your body to absorb healing potions at a faster rate" (which I took to mean that it gives a sip bonus, which helps you sipping bromides), and adds in health regen as a body mantra.
EDIT: In retrospect, I think benign prophesy only adds to HP, so that's not very useful.

It's kind of a double-edged sword. You -can- use Lumphet, but only if you don't have enough skill in Harmony to have Regeneration (0% Adept or so).

For this Ascension, I shall INVOKE KRELLAN into existence. Where are my Glommies at?!

Benign adds 5% to h/m/e. So, while it does add to ego, it is only 5% (this is about 100-500), it probably not really that helpful. More so since it is a 5p skill

No, it's not. You can always use Lumphet, it does NOT add ego regeneration. Adding health regeneration is not against the rules, Lumphet is always fine.
Anguti, on the other hand (which literally increases your debate power) DOES add ego regeneration, and is therefore against the rules.

I figured it was best to just have an "across the board" ruling on stuff like that, so that even if you don't have the Regeneration skill, it's still not allowed. Otherwise, you're penalized for having spent more, which sucks.
Question: the Ascension rules disallows "presence" for Justice; what skill is this exactly? I think there are a few abilities with the same name (or similar), so clarification would be appreciated!
Yeah, that is a little confusing. Pretty sure it's talking about Ascendance - Presence, which says "and soothing your ego." in its AB. In my own list, I put a question mark next to that, but left it off to be safe.

Though, tbh, I'm not a serious contender for any of the seals. Perhaps next year.
