SRD/OGC Wishlist

[Bendris Noulg]

Now, generally, I'm extremely happy with WotC and the SRD, how they keep adding to it, and now releasing UA as 99.9% OGC. So no, this isn't a "WotC should put out more OGC stuff" complaint and rant (and if you're looking to do so, please start another thread on it... I'm sure you'll get plenty of replies).

Rather, it's a just a fun wish list, intended to be strictly light hearted. Indeed, I didn't start this on the OGL mailing list because I was concerned that it would be too light-hearted and viewed as off topic.

It's not about entire books, but of tiny things tucked away in various books. Those little things that might get left behind or forgotten about as all the major additions and revisions are made. If there is one little snippet of a book you would like to see go OGC, what would it be?

And, I guess, me first:

The Pseudo-Natural Creature Template from Tome and Blood. With the Epic version of the same creature released into the SRD, being able to use the version that characters below 15th Level can even look at would be a nice treat.

Shadow and Elemental Creature Templates, because with the Elemental Planes and the Plane of Shadow now OGC it just seems natural.

Next...

The Companions, Pets and Mounts section from Arms & Equipment Guide would be nice. After all, what self-serving mage wouldn't want a gelatinous cube as a mount?

Personally, I'd like to see the deity stuff from D&Dg in. I know Anthony, when he was still an agent of WotC, said that that was on their short list along with ELH. Now that ELH is in, I'm hoping that D&Dg will make it as well.

• Base classes from the Miniatures Handbook and Complete Warrior

 

[Gez]

Base classes, equipment, feats, and spells from Oriental Adventures. Maybe the prestige classes too, but I don't ask for those in the Rokugan and Shadowland chapters.

 

[Nellisir]

Ditto.

 

[Cergorach]

Base classes, equipment, feats, and spells from Oriental Adventures. Maybe the prestige classes too, but I don't ask for those in the Rokugan and Shadowland chapters.

Same here, but from that list i'm mostly looking forward to the OGC release of the Base classes. I was actually considering writing the current SRD monkey at WotC (whomever that might be)...

 

[Ranger REG]

Base classes, equipment, feats, and spells from Oriental Adventures. Maybe the prestige classes too, but I don't ask for those in the Rokugan and Shadowland chapters.

Ditto.

Uhm... the 3.5 siege weapon rules?

These were originally left out of the SRD by mistake, with a promise that the SRD would be updated "soon". AFAIK, they still haven't been included...
