Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alzrius" data-source="post: 2037365" data-attributes="member: 8461">It's fairly common knowledge that what isn't in the SRD is as important as what is, such as terms like Tanar'ri, Baatezu, etc.What I want to know is, if you wanted to put those terms back in your published d20 product, how much of a change is enough of a change to do so?The example I point to here is in the Book of Erotic Fantasy. The Greater Succubus has a subtype listed as being "Demon". The Demon subtype apparently grants her immunity to electricity and poison, as well as resistance 10 to acid, cold, and fire. Not to mention telepathy, and oh, she can summon also. This is the Tanar'ri subtype with the name changed to the next-closest equivalent. Now, this seems to be fair game, since WotC hasn't tried to have all copies of the BoEF destroyed (not for this anyway), so how far does it go? Could I put an infernal creature as having the "Devil" subtype with the same features as the Baatezu subtype? Since "eladrin" is in the SRD (in the summon monster tables), can I use that as a subtype that "just happens" to have the same qualities as that in the MM, despite it's not being used exactly that way in the SRD?Thanks for the input on this.</blockquote>
