Could I make a PC class called the demagogue?

Because i've been planning to for a while, but i'm wondering if this would qualify as altering a term refrenced in the SRD (since there is an NPC template of the same name in the DMs toolkit secion of the DMG and refrenced in the SRD)?

I'd say not.

I am not a lawyer and I would find out what is their definition of redefinition.

I might say you could, because you are not redefining the demagogue TEMPLATE. You are making a demagogue CLASS. It is a sticky issue and I would not seek to push those boundaries until you see what becomes of the GSL in the real world, rather then a lot of the hypotheticals being posted.

With that said, I would simply make a character class and call it "fanatic demagogue" or "demagogue priest" or some other type of adjective to your demagogue class name. That way, you are safe from conjecture.
