You can designate the name and likeness and story and ecology as PI, but not the stat block.Now, I am not a lawyer or even adjacent, but I have been freelance writing and designing since the inception of the OGL. I have worked on specially licensed products (Gamma World d20) and for small and big publishers (I have designed monsters for Starfinder, for example). I don't mean that as an appeal to authority, just to illustrate that I have been involved for a long time. And in my experience most people who I have worked for have followed the interpretation that anything derivative of OGC is itself OGC and publishers that try and PI their game mechanics are at least working against the intent of the OGL, if not in violation of it.</blockquote>
