[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 1041271, member: 725"] Clark, i can understand that older products might indeed have used the draft version of the SRD. Even the name Beholder in a product such a Rappan Arthuk might have been from a draft version. But the name Beholder is also in Tome of Horrors (p.132, 148, 154, possible other pages as well), and that is released under 1.0a OGL. *reads a bit further* Quote: "Some of the OGC used herein comes from the draft version of the SRD by permission from WotC by and through Ryan Dancey and/or Anthoney Valterra. Subsequent printings of this work will incorporate and comply with the final versions of the SRD." Ah, crap! But that laves me with the question whether or not i can use the Beholder name with the Quote above? And how in the nine hells is a new publisher supposed to know what is and what's not from the draft version of the SRD? It's designated as OGC material nowhere in the OGL does it say that material used in the draft version of the SRD is prohibited, it would also be pretty pointless to put it in the OGL, because you can use just about any version of the OGL. I think that if rules concerning monsternames/spellnames where put in the D20L it would be more effective.
