[QUOTE="gban007, post: 9009521, member: 56488"] Quite possibly, I think it could be interpreted to suggest they didn't think it needed to be under the OGL, but wanted to to release their content under it, and so could have stripped it out. I think it does somewhat hinge on how much the bit of 'without using Wizards' copyrighted expressions of any game mechanics' covers - whether it means the underlying mechanics for pathfinder 2nd edition, in which case is fine (though alignment / ability scores could arguably fall under that? But at same time if needing to make other revisions, why not revisit some points) to continue publishing pathfinder 2e without issues for the core mechanics as such, but still need to revisit other stuff, vs if it meant it covered all content, as to whether for example chromatic dragons is copyrighted expression of mechanics, or a separate product identify (or however labelled) piece.
