[QUOTE="glass, post: 8618441, member: 12251"] OK, (hopefully) slightly better response, as promised: That it is probably the only option. By far the safest way to do a retroclone is to find open-content precedents for the distinctive mechanics and terminology, and by definition those precedents are going to be scattered around (because if they were all in one convenient place then that system would already be the 4e clone we are looking for). Anyone else undertaking the same project is going to end up with an s.15 of similar length (and similar if not identical contents), because that is how you protect yourself. Possibly, not all the references are strictly necessary, but nobody except possibly an [I]extremely[/I] expensive lawyer (the kind WotC can afford and you cannot, for almost all values of "you") can tell you which ones - and maybe not even one of those. So in they all go. The only way a 4e SRD that does not have an s.15 that looks like that is going to happen, is if WotC released one directly. Which would be nice, but lets not hold our collective breath. [I]EDIT: Or, what [USER=82504]@Garthanos[/USER] said.[/I] _ glass. [/QUOTE]
