[QUOTE="reanjr, post: 1677027, member: 20740"] Typing the word Beholder is not copyright infirngement. Using a beholder in an original piece of fiction would be. Talking ABOUT beholders is simply fair use. Quoting passages for review or discussion is also fair use. You already described the benefit. 80% of those can be fully engineered from the benefit description alone (except the prereqs which are kindly included). Maybe Wizards doesn't notice; that doesn't mean they don't care. Why do you think the OGL was created? So that Wizards could have a system of defining what could and COULD NOT be reiterated by the community. This entire thread is slapping them in the face and spitting in their eye for their generosity. There have been several times I have wanted to discuss various topics, like XP and leveling. I have refrained because it's not in the SRD. It really is very impolite to post this kind of stuff, even if it does slide into the fuzzy realms of citation and reference. [/QUOTE]
