[QUOTE="Starglim, post: 2657302, member: 17011"] IANAL You should perhaps name it something interesting that describes what it is. Not enough information to answer. However, bear in mind that the major reason for Wizards' trademarking words like "d20" and "Dungeons and Dragons", and claiming "Players' Handbook" as Product Identity, is so that nobody can sell their work as D&D unless they pay WotC money. If you [B]do[/B] want to get sued, one of the fastest and best ways is to claim that your book is an updated D&D Players' Handbook. The copyright notice should read "15.
