These standards are not specific to the d20 System License.  All our other licensees are held to similar or tighter standards. However, users of the d20 license are not subject to the same review process faced by direct licensees and the implementation of these standards does not change that. **Please quote this e-mail in any reply.********************************************************************DarrinWizards of the Coast - Customer ServiceWebsite: <a href="http://www.wizards.com" target="_blank">http://www.wizards.com</a>Game Support Phone: 1-800-324-6496Monday through Friday, 9 AM - 7 PM PSTCorporate Phone: (425) 226-6500******************************************************************</blockquote>
