Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fiery James" data-source="post: 1403091" data-attributes="member: 625">WotC was really generous, and very clear, in declaring their open content in Unearthed Arcana.  Basically, if it's not a trademarked name or proper name, and has nothing to do with beholders, displacer beasts, gauth, githyanki, githzerai, mindflayers, slaad, umber hulks, or yuan-ti, all of the text is open content.  So, scanning the book is a big no-no, as it always is, 'cause it's copyrighted, just like any other book.  If someone were to take the time to re-type everything, excluding any trademarks and names and the creatures mentioned above, and add the proper OGL requirements, then that's all well and good.Of course, if you've got that kind of time, you've probably got enough time to collect a bunch of empty bottles and get enough cash to actually buy the book -- it's 224 pages!!!  That's a lot of typing!!So, the Alternate Experience Point Progression table is Open Game Content.  Now, you may be restricted by the d20 License on using this (at least insofar as a part of describing character advancement), but in a strictly OGL work, it would be fine (as would any discussion of character advancement).It's an interesting book of options.  I read a lot of reviews here and elsewhere on the net before I decided to spend my limited funds on it, but I think it was worth it in the end, if only for introducing some new concepts and new mechanics that I can apply to my game and other projects.- James</blockquote>
