I didn't take out my Player's Handbook references or DM in the Green Warden yet. I'll do that pronto.Thanks to Paul and Reddist for their input. Here's the language form the d20 Guide for those who don't want to search for it:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You may refer to the Dungeon Master’s Guide as the DMG, the Monster Manual as the MM.  You may cite the Player’s Handbook by title, or as the PHB.  You may cite the Psionics Handbook by title.  You must not cite page number references, because pagination may change in future printings.  You may cite chapter, heading, and subheading titles from the DMG, the MM, the PHB or the Psionics Handbook. Example: “See DMG Chapter 3, Special Abilities, Charm and Compulsion for more information.” At this time, you may not make reference by title to any other Wizards of the Coast products.</li> </ul>And BTW, I noticed some other things when reading the v2s of some work. Here's some recommendations that will help me come layout time:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Don't put two spaces after any punctuation. It's a holdover from mono-spaced typewriters and unneeded with proportional fonts. Use a single tab to indent paragraphs.</li> </ul>As for writing, one common error I've seen (and made) is the use of a singular noun (a ninja) with a plural possessive pronoun (their). For example: "A ninja may use their sword to chop off heads all the time—that's Real Ultimate Power!" I realize this is an attempt by some folks to be sex neutral, but it's incorrect. Make the noun plural, or make the possessive appropriate. "Ninjas are crazy, and their swords are sharp!" or "A ninja wails on his guitar like a rock banshee!"Pick one pronoun (he or she, not both or using "he or she" for every pronoun) and stick with it in the writing. It should be understood by mature, well-adjusted adults that this is actually a neutral statement within the limits of our language. If you're worried about it, just use she.Thanks!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />(EDIT) Technically, Reddist is right since Handbook is one word, but WotC sets the rules and they chose PHB.</blockquote>
