To my reading, you had not been clear on this before. Thank you for clarifying. It makes a lot of your earlier posts make more sense. > This in turn means that if I wish to use the > Creature in another publication, it is useless "as written."

I guess now I'm going to have to ask how you define "useless". You can reuse the hard work that SSS did in researching and playtesting the critter. You can scare the bejeebers out of those who play the module. There are all sorts of ways this critter is useful. The only ways it's not useful is in tying back to the original source. The OGL is a means for ensuring original creators get creditted; but it doesn't prevent them from limiting what they want credit for. Martin L. Shoemaker Martin L.
