[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 5769393, member: 10479"] Both good points. Designers have little say over the legal side of things (though I suspect they'd know up front if a decision had already been made or was under consideration). Sadly, I'm going to call this one as dead in the water. Makes no sense not to make that decision right up front and take advantage of the goodwill it would engender as well as allow for the pool of OGC to be in play for people to mention as something they would like to see in the new D&D. It would be so sinple to just mention some mechanic from an old GR supplement or another bit from Malhavoc book, maybe even put them up for a poll, then add them into the new D&D with the appropriate OGL section 15 addition. It just seems weird that WotC invented the perfect mechanism whereby to unify during the creation of a new edition and they don't seem to want to even acknowledge it. It's like walking to your next carpentry job and chucking the hammer in a dumpster on the way. [/QUOTE]
