Yes, and the basic rules, as well. So assuming the release of those to CC, there'd be no risk in retaining names (& descriptive text) for abilities, saves, conditions, etc, in a 5e clone.For what it's worth, the names of all the classes are in the multiclassing rules, which are part of the proposed CC-BY content.
Nope. Anything of people’s ire makes it into the actual game, like that, and I at least am right out.While at it, can we make it so the wizard can only dissect/vivisect magical creatures(ans sorcerers) for spells, because they canonly steal magic, at some point starts rotting, and eventually turn into a lich?
That idea came because I hate wizards (the class) and thought it would be more interesting as an evil class. It predates WotC behaving bad.Nope. Anything of people’s ire makes it into the actual game, like that, and I at least am right out.
Most of the D&D races are from folklore long predating D&D, or are genericized versions of literary characters that also predate D&D.

Although I beat you to itA proposal to design a community-created 5e clone essentially by a fan committee?
