[QUOTE="FallenRX, post: 8907125, member: 7033472"] No the trick is the expressions of these rules that are coming out for free. The issue was they could around the specific expressions of having the 6 stats and their names, the name Profiecency bonus, skills, those other things were specific dnd things, and would have to rigorously be renamed, and even then it would be a muddy gray area, of what is artistic expression of the mechanics vs the mechanics itself. Under CCBY, this basically is them arming down on pursuing that route in that muddy gray area, which is legit good in a sense. It means Level up, Black flag, and PF2e, wouldnt have to completely reinvent/rename basic dnd things, or expressions of some mechanics, to make a DnD-like game without risk of Hasbro trying to gun for them, removes even the slightest threat of it. The most they have to change now is some spell(maybe class names) and they can just keep on going on as is. Genuinely the only good thing in this announcement [/QUOTE]
