[QUOTE="Cam Banks, post: 4309490, member: 3817"] So then the question raised is, can you use aspects of those defined rules when designing new races? The Kagonesti are almost identical to the 4e Elf, for instance. Could I simply say "In the world of Krynn, the elven race described in the 4E Player's Handbook is known as the Kagonesti" and then carry on? Or is that redefining? If I use some of the various eladrin traits for the Silvanesti and Qualinesti, do I have to refer back to the 4E Player's Handbook or can I reprint that information (the text under Trance, for instance)? I see the intent behind all of this, but I am also seeing that in protecting that intent there's a confusing and nebulous area that remains unclear and counter-productive to what I believe the purpose of the SRD is (publish new campaign settings, adventures, and sourcebooks to support the core rulebooks.)
