Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morrus" data-source="post: 367529" data-attributes="member: 1">Hmmm...These are very basic questions, which suggests to me that you haven't read the licenses yet.  I recommend that if you're considering doing this, make sure you've gone over the licenses with a fine-toothed comb.  It's be horrible to see you fall foul of something which you could have easily avoided. Also, check out this page, which has lots of helpful info (expecially peak at the check-lists further down the page):<a href="http://www.d20reviews.com/Eric/d20guide/d20intro.htm" target="_blank">http://www.d20reviews.com/Eric/d20guide/d20intro.htm</a>Here's the my opinions as to your questions, though.  They're just opinions - check with somebody qualified.1) You can use anything in the SRD.  If it's not in the SRD, you can't use it.  You can make up any new stuff you want, though.2) Yes.  There are dozens and dozens of books out with new classes and prestige classes.  Check out my D20 Guide to get an idea of what your fellow publishers are doing: <a href="http://www.enworld.org/publishers.asp" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/publishers.asp</a>3) That's fine.4) I'd consult a lawyer before doing that.  In my opinion, you'd be fine - the names and concepts are generic enough.  However - and this is fairly important - the fact that you are even asking indicates that your monsters WILL be derivative of the non-open monsters in the MMII (otherwise you wouldn't have asked), not your own original creations, so, technically, the answer is no.  If you hadn't asked, I'd have said yes. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Hope that helps! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
