At the same time they own the trademark, so whatever you create is by definition not D&D, it still can be 5e however.the possibly was about compatibility, I do not know what you did, it can be compatible. You then clarified that you did want to make a D&D with those changes, and I replied that by definition whatever you create is not D&D, whether it is compatible or not, since you are not working for WotC.I am not sure what it strengthens, we had several topics in thissure, the subset contained within the SRD is identical. I never said you need specific monsters to be compatible, I said the foundation of D&D are the core books, not the SRD.Anyone who adds a class or race is adding it to that foundation. The only time you get a new foundation is with a new set of core books.So the SRD is irrelevant then… it is important when you want to create an adventure and include the stat blocks for convenience, it is important when you create a new subclass or monster and want to describe its abilities the same way D&D doesyes, but it helps considerablybecause that is what is included in it and it was created to allow for it to be used freely by third partiesIf your emphasis is on ‘creates’ rather than ‘makes available to be used’ then it does not create it. D&D did that.not sure where the loosest connection is coming from, I certainly never said thatIt certainly is a separate entity in that you can freely use the SRD and cannot use D&D 5e itself. You might not consider an SRD that allows others to safely reference and copy a lot of content important, but I am pretty sure all 3pps do and understand the distinction between the SRD and D&D</blockquote>
