They are similar, and have overlap with D&D 4E classes, but they are not the same classes</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The classes also work slightly different (more complicated) than 4e original classes on which they are built.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Orcus license is nice. So you can do your own work based on it and even sell the material. It was created such that you can do. You just need to quote the Orcus SRD I think.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">So you can build stuff for 4E on Orcus that was the point. You want to build your new character theme? Use Orcus. Want to build a new class compatible with 4E or an adventure? Can be done. (Might just have some slightly different termology).</li> </ul>So what one COULD do is build existing (starting with essential classes because it is simpler) classes in Orcus, using the changed names Orcus does use while changing all names.This was, however, not yet done, and is a lot of work. And one had most likely still make sure that not only names are not the same, but also that ability text would not overlap too much to be on the save side.</blockquote>
