[QUOTE="Urizen, post: 1400256, member: 11673"] OK. I've been puzzling over this for the past couple of days, and I just thought I'd throw it out and see what everyone thinks. Say you create a prestige class. You think it's cool, original and you realease it in your supplement as open gaming content. Now, what you didn't know, was that the guys over at "I can create RPG's better than you" publishing have created pretty much the same prestige class, with only a couple of differences, maybe prerequisites or a few different class abilities, and they released it last year. Does "I can create better RPG's better than you" publishing have a legal basis for suing you? I don't know about everyone here, but I don't have 100 bucks a month to spend on gaming products (although I would love to be able to do that). So what am I to do about knowing which feats or prestige classess have already been released? BTW, has anyone ever tried to write off gaming books on your taxes? :o [/QUOTE]
