[QUOTE="Nylanfs, post: 6671497, member: 10612"] That is quite likely true, and it would NOT be a "couple of hundred dollars", a lawyer isn't going to give any type of advice without doing their research, and that costs. It's also against PCGen's policy of getting the publisher approval, even though with the OGL we didn't NEED to get their permission to use the OGC in the datasets. This is [url=http://wiki.pcgen.org/A_Letter_to_Publishers]PCGen's publisher policy[/url]. I have reached out to WotC to see if we could get permission and was basically brushed off with a form letter. So since they do not seem interested in doing anything OGL, the best we are going to be able to do is create a mechanics framework, some sample original data and assist the users in creating their own datafiles, like we did with 4e. No, the times that WotC stepped in and sent a C&D to a generator they have been using things not in the Basic Rules AFAIK. And a character that has all the info on their character sheet is different than printing the whole PHB. [/QUOTE]
