[QUOTE="Sm!rk, post: 304217, member: 6467"] Bioware didn't have WoTC on board. Wotc had *no* say or oversight at all on any Bioware product. They only recently decided to be interested in having more control over their IP. Bioware might have gotten their original license from TSR. And this will be unchanged in the future since Hasbro sold the rights for computer D&D games. My point which still stands is that its one thing to allow someone to make a half-dragon sorcerer, its another thing to allow the half-dragon part to be freely interchanged with any possible user creation.
