[QUOTE="FormerlyDickensC, post: 4348426, member: 53954"] I would argue that since there is a question, go ahead and use the suggested surrogates in the other thread. And come up with more where needed. Lets start by hashing out ideas in this (or another) forum thread, then after ideas begin taking shape throw them up on a wiki in some sort of ordered logical format. I recommend the wiki be open access to allow anyone to make changes. I doubt vandalism would be an issue and openness much more important and effective. If the wiki needs to be closed to members, you can then make folks register and block as necessary, or whathaveyou. Ongoing discussion can take place in the thread after the wiki starts to take shape, and save the pdf for much later down the road. EDIT: lets hammer out a basic framework consisting of surrogate terms and phrases for the 4E items...this means for anything that is or might be WotC owned words (mechanics terms, proper nouns, power names, and so on), and is where you designers come in....then worry about the wiki. We're not really designing much, just translating the language into OGL material. It shouldn't actually be too difficult. [/QUOTE]
