Warlock - OGL name as an "Arcanist Path" in World of Warcraft RPG, 2nd Edition, page 62. Oldtimer is unfortunately correct that Monte left the Breather mechanic out of the OGL. Does anyone own Fantasy Concepts or perhaps Jason himself can tell us if there is a 2nd Wind mechanic in there that is...

I would suggest Heroic, Legendary, Epic - Heroic and Epic are already in the game, although not as definite mechanics for "Heroic". Why not just keep "basic attack" or standard attack from D20? This works really well. Or you can just shorten it to "Healing". Isn't this available already...

Joe, see this as an interesting mental challenge, you are already finding the problem areas - why not see if you can find solutions for them? Oh, and if there is a mechanic we can refer to, we could also rename it. So a five-foot step can become a Shift, if need be, since we are backed by the...

These are analogues to the requested rulesterms: Push = Move Pull = Draw Shift = Transfer Granted, I'm not sure that you couldn't just merge Push/Pull into a Move. Anyone more fluent in 4E mechanics that can help out? And I do believe that a Minor action exists within the Fantasy Concepts...

My suggestion would be to use the communal approach of Paizo, utilizing the "communal creativity" that is available. Post all problems in a forum thread, like this one, and let people work it out together. For example, in the Free 4E thread, there was a question on how to relate towards "shift...

Exactly, and with something like this in place, multiple publishers could go the route of creating 4E compatible material, while keeping with the OGL.

For most current gamers, "4E" is well-known enough for most people so there wouldn't even need to be a large label such as the above. However, some things can be couched in the same or similar terms without inferring a breach of trade dress and I think that you can come 95% there with OGL and...

Yeah, Mind Flayers are also used by a number of other companies, with the same descriptions (such as Square/Enix, amongst others) and style, including using a Mind Blast, so when it comes to the flayers, I think WotC is screwed. Which is why they are using the name "Illithid" more and more.

Alternity - great Sci Fi RPG, loved the rules, especially the skill area and how it handled XP. Trinity - my first REAL Sci Fi GMing experience. Great campaigns, great setting, pretty nice rules. Aberrant - while still in play around here, I sorely miss seeing more stuff added to its continuum.

Well, theoretically, one could publish these "4E OGL" rules for free, but they would serve as eminent basis for writing 4E support material under the OGL.

I merely meant it as a safeguard. Being sued is less of a threat if you can point to more than just your own creativity.

Except that you probably CAN create 4E compatible material using the OGL, which would make it "4E OGL". Sure, it's not by using the GSL, but rather about finding the right OGL material on which to build. Like "Players roll all the dice" for static defenses...

Well, first of all one would need to find OGL "sources" for certain ideas and concepts, such as using power per encounter, static defenses instead of saves and so on. Once that was done, it would just be a question of applying the math.

Sure thing Ydars - nothing is known, alot is speculated.

Gareth, want to share your wisdom? Because I'm sure you're reading this.

Or it could be because Clark mailed Wizards and warned them not to make the GSL too restrictive that he is being left outside. According to him, he told them of the possibility of a company going the "copyright route" and that it was interpreted as a THREAT by Wizards. So, there is a miniscule...

This is EXTREMELY interesting news. So far, we've only seen adventures being posted as coming out before October 1st.

Extremely kickass news! Dreamscarred Press has been waiting for news like this since Pathfinder was announced. What are the chances that we'll get license and logo so that we can announce and start building buzz and post previews and stuff like that before/when the Beta releases?

Wulf, might I ask what the "hard problems" for 3.5 were, in your (or your friends) eyes? I'm very interested in seeing your view on it.

Anyone have experience of doing E6 psionics?
