Treebore said:I think he is mostly concerned about having a 4E SRD from which to easily copy and paste whole rules he wants for his home brew documents. It saves a lot of work when your trying to make such a thorough house rules document.
JohnSnow said:I think he's out of luck then.
As I understand it, the 4E SRD is going to be a reference document for what in the 4E rules is licensed content, not a stripped version of those rules that's had WotC IP stripped out.
From what I understand, there's not going to be a document anymore that people can copy/paste from. I think too many people abused the SRD by using it for purposes beyond what was intended, so this time around, WotC isn't going to make it that easy.
But I could be wrong.
