[QUOTE="Orcus, post: 1090473, member: 1254"] Ed- I think someone needs to read the PI designation again. All the races, for example, are PI, including race names. Also PI are all original names of creatures, monsters, all capitalized names, gods, spells, feats, abilities, etc. In fact, all the things you said are OGC are NOT OGC. Do your homework, dude. All you need to do is read the PI designation. If you dont know what you are doing, you shouldnt be writing opinions. People might rely on your mistaken statements to their detriment. Please do your homework and be correct before you say something is OGC when it has instead been specifically marked by Monte as PI. This is a serious business and if you have any concerns you need to consult a lawyer. Andrew, if there is one thing you should learn as a person wanting to publish under the licenses is not to take someone's word that something is OGC. You need to know the license inside and out and you may need a lawyer if you have concerns. This is a serious undertaking, particularly when you are about to use someone's PI without permission. You cant say "well Ed on ENWorld said it is OGC and that none of the spells and feats are PI." Ed is dead wrong and that is no defense. I'm not trying to be harsh or to scare you off. Anyone who is a regular here knows I am a huge supporter of the OGL and have helped numerous people get started and understand the license. I just want you to understand this is a serious matter and one that in the end you and you alone will be responsible for. Clark [/QUOTE]
