[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6194558, member: 2525"] Nobody thought you could replicate 1e D&D with the OGL, until someone did it. Nobody thought you could replicate 4e D&D with the OGL, until someone (sort of) did it. I feel confident someone can do it with 5e as well. It's different, but not so different it cannot be done. In fact, it's closer to 3e than 4e was, and so even easier to do under the OGL than 4e was. And of course the concept of proficiencies exists under the OGL, in the form of weapon proficiencies, armor proficiencies, even proficiencies granted by races, classes, and even backgrounds. Ability score increases were there, all the listed actions, almost all the magic items, etc.. Plus, I believe some of those concepts were already similar to other OGL games which included those concepts in their own OGL. The body of things to draw from for an OGL game is not just prior official editions of D&D, it's anything released under the OGL by any company. I think there is plenty to replicate 5e with. It wouldn't be perfect, but I think it would be close enough. [/QUOTE]
