Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

Kai Lord · Apr 5, 2004

If it is can someone post a link? I'd like to look over the Battle Sorcerer. Thanks.

I don't think that Unearthed Arcana will be released to the SRD or as one. It is mostly AFAIK Open Game Content, though, so someone could post the battle sorcerer with the OGL (or maybe even without it, I guess). I'll try and do it later if no one else gets to it first.

Best,
Nick

I'm not under the impression that Unearthed Arcana is going to be added to the SRD. Unlike the other products that have had material added (MotP, Epic), UA actually has an OGL in it. Also, unlike the Epic and MotP materials which expand the "coverage" of the d20 System, UA is really only options.

About the best you can expect is that, should WotC ever notice that one of these variants is being used 80% of the time, that variant may replace the Core rule governing the same game element. But that's a good year or two away from even being a consideration, I would say, after the effects of the different variants have been given the test of time.

So if someone wants to use material from UA...they may actually need to buy the book?

Pure evil!

Most of UA is open content, so there is no need for them to put it in the SRD. The SRD only exists as a way for WOTC to release open content without doing it in their books. UA is an exception to that policy of not putting open content in the books themselves.

That'd be cool. I already know they have d8 HP, Cleric BAB, and Intimidate instead of Bluff, with one less spell known/per day than a Sorcerer of the same level, and also get a free proficiency with a one handed martial weapon.

Is there anything else? Other class abilities such as bonus feats or casting through their sword or anything?

You've got it covered mostly. They also have light armor proficiency and no arcane spell failure in light armor for battle sorcerer spells. That's it.

Nope, that's all a Battle Sorceror gets. They're just quick variants, not a complete redo of the class.

Fiendish Dire Weasel · Apr 5, 2004

They have one less spell per day per spell level and one less spell known per spell level with a minimum of 1 spell known per level, so they still get 1 2rd level spell at 4th level, they just don't get a second 2nd level spell until 7th and never have more than 4 2nd level spells known, for example.

Unearthed Arcana SRD -- Can Do!

Let's do it!

Let's create an UA SRD.

Steps involved
1) Need to volunteer to type or OCR a page or 2 from UA
2) Post the pages you are volunteering for here with an page ETA
3) Proof read your typing/OCR for errors
4) Save each page as a text like UA-001.txt for page 1 of Unearthed Arcana
5) Send the document to our layout specialist/chief editor who is _________ (??) This does not need to be one person, but the fewer the better. I can do some-to-all of the layout, I'll be using a format such as sovelior's. Someone needs to check my spelling

6) goto step 1
7) The layout sppecialist/chief editor can be pull the pages together, format them and post the UA SRD at a willing site (www.systemreferencedocuments.org maybe

)

Notes, names such as Krusk, Gimble, and Jozan all need to be changed because they are product identity. But, pictures can be pulled into an only document like is done at www.systemreferencedocuments.org.

Here are some basic ideas for name changes. If you want, this can be voted on the the layout specialist/chief editor can make the final changes.
Krusk -- Kevin
Gimble -- George
Jozan -- Jeff
Vadania -- Valerie
Tordek -- Tom
Regdar -- Roger
Ember -- Emily
Alhandra -- Andrea
Soveliss -- Steve
Lidda -- Linda
Hennet -- Henry
Mialee -- Melissa
Nebin -- Ned
The names are meant to be borning and basic so that there is no illusion that we are treading on WotC product identity. Also, any spell name references would need to be changed to those in the SRD.

Also, need a define volunteer(s) for the layout specialist/chief editor. Volunteers???
