hi all
so how can i tell what traits i dont wanna use?

ex: i wanna make a new dwarf in a new world that im develop...

so i wanna use all trais but change just one, as Stad Your Ground...

can i say this citation

Racial Traits
See the D&D 4E PLAYER’S HANDBOOK

Stad Your Ground: You dont have this trait ?

cheers!

With the GSL you are not allowed to redefine anything in 4e. What you can do is create an all new race called "Descriptor" Dwarf and then list for that new race the traits you want, adding or removing as you see fit.

I would look at how other GSL publishers are doing things for an idea of how to go about it.

cheers!!!!!!!!

see War of the Burning Sky Player’s Guide its free!!!!!!!!

well.i have 4 etnis of dwarves... and each one have more 3 or 4 clans...

so want define the traits as powers of clans...but i dont want use ALL same traits fors this etnis and clans...

ex: The Solar Dwarf
same all traits as average dwarf but i dont want use Dwarf Resilience....

how can i remove this ability and replace another, in legal terms of publisher?

cheers again

IANAL, but I'd recommend creating an 'entirely new' race called solar dwarves, with a full racial writeup like dwarves have. Then under its traits list and reference the abilities it has that are the same as a normal dwarf. What you should not do is say, "Solar dwarves are the same as regular dwarves, except . . . "

cheers of reply!!!!!!!


so i bough a new brand rpg 4e called Feudal Lords Campaign Setting,
and o read something like this :

Elves in the Feudal Lords Campaign Setting
uses the rules found in the D&D 4E PLAYER’S
HANDBOOK in addition to the following racial trait.
Mark of War: A dwarf is an enemy, and never an
ally, in the target entry or elsewhere within your
powers.

Firstly, I think they are taking a risk with GSL compliance. I would suggest this is not a good example to copy if you are doing anything controversial and have any reason to think WotC will take a close look at your licencing status.

Secondly, APG might think they are OK here because they are only applying a new trait to the 4e reference 'elf' and not taking anything away, which is what you propose. When you remove a trait, it is much clearer that you are redefining what 'dwarf' means, not just adding to it.
