And they do that. They also ship the rules for Numenera, Pathfinder and a lot of other systems. What they can't give away for free is the rulebook content. Like classes, spells, monster statblocks and so on.So the core Fantasy Grounds app has the 5e rules and they're completely open. You can open them, edit them, create extensions and change them. You can even scan your copy of the players handbook, monster manual and DMG and import that data into Fantasy Grounds for free. There's even a parser(Par5E) that'll help you with that.The paid for class packs and monster manual are just that extra content created for you. I think they're locked down a bit more because WoTC is paranoid about IP issues(which is why we still can't buy the books in PDF form). So I'm not sure had much you can mod the paid for class pack classes. But you can 100% build your own classes from the ground up and mod them to do whatever you want. You can even bundle your changes into an mod and give it to other people who can use it. The rulesets are designed to be extended on.</blockquote>
