I'll have to strike out on my own, but just what I can use is the
question. Can I use races like orcs, goblins, elves and dwarves in my
book? How about other classic creatures previously included in the
Monster Manual etc? Can I mention 3rd edition character classes and
create new ones? Can I make reference to Forgotten Realm lands and give
statistics for them? Can I mention FR personalities (like Drizzt D'Urden
as a poorly spelled example)? Are the d20 core rules the only D&D
material I can mention, and if so is there any way of convincing WOTC to
allow me to use such lands and names in my work?

The simple answer, and probably the only one anyone can really safely
give, as relating to WotC's IP, is if you can find it in the SRD
(located at Wizards site in the d20 section or in the draft SRD at the
Open Gaming Foundation) you can use it in an OGL'd product. If you
don't find it in the SRD, you can't use it. Any open content from other
publishers is also fair game to use.
Otherwise you will have to get a license from Wizards to even use things
not in the SRD.
If it needs to be said, I am not a Lawyer.
