Hmmm... If the names of classes/creatures/spells/genre will be so
different, what is the point of using the PHB? I know your pain. I want to
develop something totally new but use a defined system, the d20 system is
becoming pretty familiar to me as I am starting to play 3rd ed. (OK, it's
not new, but it isn't D&D.) I don't have any plans to make money on it, I
am just going to distribute it for all of my friends. I have been doing my
best to disect the PHB and DMG for that effect. (I guess if I get my heart
set on having the d20 logo on it, I'll retrofir it, but it shouldn't be that
bad. =)
Oh, back to your comment: That's the way I understand it, good luck!
