I am looking at creating material for using 5e rules for an modern urban fantasy setting. I have some questions about what i can and can't use and how i can and can't use them:
1 What can I refer to directly from the main books e.g. names of classes and class features, names of monsters, spells and magical items, page references to main books etc
2 What can i use from Unearthed Arcana and articles from the Wizards website. Can i cut and paste from these and use as is and if so do I have to provide reference for its origin? If not can I refer to the UA article but not copy? e.g. using material from articles about modern weapons and armor and UA on modern magic.
3 If i like a class, class feature, race etc. from another DM guild writer can i use their stuff? Do I need prior permission or can i just attribute it.
4 Does the product need to be completely generic with respect to setting or can i provide details of a sample setting?
Thanks Y'all.
