It may actually cross into d20-land, but I'll go ahead and ask and see. I'm gonna use actual names for my example so as to make myself clear and precise. I am working on a project in which magic, for X and Y reason, does not work the same way as in the core SRD rules. The variation is minimal, but it has an effect on various items surrounding magic and spellcasting, the biggest one being Domains. I took the SRD Domains and modified them in order to fit with the new nature of magic in my project. That mean rewriting some of the granted powers to match the new rules and even chaning some of the domain spells listed for others that match the project's setting better. I have done this as well with domains taken from 3rd party d20 publishers as well. Now, as I understand this, under the OGL I can do this, right? As long as I include the copyright in Section 15 for the original material I have just modified I should be ok, right? Second example, since magic works in a particular way, only the main spellcasting class gets to wield magic; bards, rangers, paladins and druids all lose that ability. Because of this I am redesigning these classes so as to include them in my project but without their spellcasting abilities. This basically means rewriting heavily the classes, adding abilities here and there to make up for the loss of magic. I am, however, keeping the same name, as I am keeping the basic concept of the class the same, just changing the mehcanics. Can I do this under the OGL? I think yes, but just wanna check. I guess my next question, inappropiate for this forum, is if I can then put all these originally-from-the-SRD-but-now-heavily-modified parts into a tome and then use the d20 license. For example, I look at the alternate ranger class created by Monte Cook and it is obviously a modification of the SRD ranger class, it is OGC and it includes the d20 logo. I would appreciate your help as far as you can; once I am a bit clearer I can then take up the question to the d20 list. Thanks. ===== Daniel M.
