Stat blocks and names are not copyrightable. If he were using WotC histories with the names or imagery, he would be in trouble. Printing rules absent descriptive text like 3d10 acid damage is not copyrightable. Even writing Solar or Mindflayer absent any explanation as to what the creature is or any of its history I don't believe is copyrightable either. It's once he makes it obvious with images and monster explanations that it is a D&D mind flayer he could get hammered.It's a fine line. I'm sure he knows the line well being a lawyer dealing with this subject matter.</blockquote>
