I mentioned this in another thread, but I thought the same thought applies here:

Is the assumption that you cannot use any Devils/Demons going off of the assumption that the section headings are "4e References?"

I initially read them as section headings with the 4e References below them being what WotC refers to as "4e References," which you cannot "define, redefine, or alter."

If this is the case, then you can use any of the Devils and Demons in the MM because they are not "4e References." You cannot use Beholder or Mind Flayer b/c they are not given a "section" in the SRD... if you can't use any Demon/Devils then why include the "section" entry for them at all.

I would also note that all the 4e References in the MM section are specific names for special powers or already defined terms.

So my question to Scott and Linae is (similiar to my question in the GSL thread):

Is Demon/Devil a 4e Reference in and of itself or just the section heading implying we can use all Demons and Devils in compatible products?

What about Monsters with "subsections" of particular monter names? Are those particular names 4e References or just subheadings for ease of finding the 4e Refrences WotC is concerned with keeping standard?

Thanks!
