[QUOTE="Bacris, post: 3944658, member: 42502"] Thanks for the different perspectives, folks. :) The specific item that brought up this question is the Dreamwright PrC from Hyperconscious. Hyperconscious has the following declared as Open Content: "the class advancement tables and Class Features in Chapter Eight;" The dreamwright's primary class feature is Call Reflexion, which is built off the Reflexion creature template in chapter 6. Chapter 6 is not discussed in the declaration of Open Content, but the declaration of Product Identity proclaims "specific characters, monsters, creatures, and places; capitalized names and names of places, artifacts, characters, countries, creatures," One question is if this declaration covers the reflexion template at all, as it is neither a capitalized name, nor a specific creature. So, the question then is - does the declaration of all class features beign open content and the lack of clarity on the Product Identity make the reflexion open content, or is the dreamwright as a class hamstrung due to its main class feature utilizing an aspect of the book not covered? In the end, I may have to revise the entire class feature to use a new creature type, but it would be a lot of hassle to basically replicate the reflexion in a significant enough manner to not violate PI, while having virtually the same end result.
