[QUOTE="mxyzplk, post: 4694206, member: 16450"] Technically, but there's a big gotcha that I think makes it nearly impossible. The GSL FAQ says: [INDENT]"Q: Can I use the GSL and OGL in the same title? A: There is no provision in the GSL preventing the of use the OGL but publishers must take care to not assume content in the OGL SRD is the same as like-named content in the GSL SRD. For example, using the definition of “Cleric” from the OGL SRD in a product licensed under the GSL would violate the GSL. GSL definitions and provisions supersede like terms and provisions of the OGL (for example, GSL restrictions on explaining the process of assigning ability scores with respect to Character Creation)"[/INDENT] So you're not prevented from using GSL and OGL in the same product per se - you just can't use anything OGL that is also defined in 4e, like say any race or class or anything, as a 3.5e cleric's stat block would not be congruent with all the GSL definitions thereof. So IMO it's practically impossible and this is a bit of a false hope. [/QUOTE]
