[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 6293358, member: 221"] Depending on how you went about it, their responses could be varied, anywhere from ignoring you to a Cease and Desist letter to a Lawsuit. Granted, you can't copyright rules, and a writer could certainly build a class that mirrors the Warlock pretty well I would think. The question for a publisher to ask is twofold: how badly do I want such a class and how much headache is it worth? If you haven't seen a warlock mirror, I would guess its because there hasn't been anybody sufficiently motivated to do it, either because they themselves don't like the class, or because they have things they would rather be working on more. And on the remote off-chance WotC did decide to lawyer up about it, even the fact that they likely can't win the case doesn't mean that a small publisher would want to mess with the expenses and headache it would entail. The latter is why most close content remains closed. You don't make enough to make the potential headache worth it. [/QUOTE]
