[QUOTE="Enevhar Aldarion, post: 7725396, member: 6818233"] I just read through a bunch of pages of posts here and do not remember who said what, so I am not quoting anyone. You people better not get all sensitive on me now. ;) I only really worry about "official" if there is an Organized Play that goes with the system, like Pathfinder Society or Adventurer's League. And then it is those groups who say what is official or not. This also, obviously, applies mainly to rules mechanics. As for the whole "is this good or bad" argument, I would be interested to know the breakdown of those for or against and where they live. Are most of those for it in the US and used to capitalist things like this? Are most of those against it in Europe and more used the the socialist system where this might be more frowned upon or even illegal? Now, what is homebrew and what is not? Technically, anything outside the core books for any game system is just glorified homebrew. People willing to pay money for it gives it a perceived value versus something that is free. Sure, these 16 feats are just homebrew from the folks at DDB and they specifically call it out to use in your home games or as something to inspire your own homebrew rules. And as someone else has pointed out, is says on the info page on their website that these feats are not AL official, just like any other homebrew. And on the topic of homebrew and other published non-WotC 5E material, it is legal to enter any of those books yourself into the DDB homebrew section, so long as you keep it set to private and never share it with anyone else. You share, you break the law. Many weeks ago, I ask on their forums if we would see any support for other 5E OGL books, like Adventures in Middle-Earth, and this was what I was basically told.
