I donwloaded the netbook and I'm quite impressed; it's particularly convenient that they've included reviewer's rating for each of the feats. However, there's a large number of psionic feats inside there, some using psion power names directly from the Psionics book and most at least using the same terminology.
Does anyone have any idea what the status of _your material_ would be were you to publish it using some open content (and non-psionic) feats from the Netbook of Feats (and went ahead and included the whole section 15) then later WotC took action against the netbook? -Steven Palmer Peterson www.Second-World-Simulations.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2001 4:06 PM Subject: RE: [Ogf-l] Section 6 and Section 15 > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > Now, do I use the entire Section 15 of NBoFeats, as > > Section 6 > > states (which is my interpretation) or do I use only "Improved Far Shot - > > By Albert Nakano (Bertman4)" (as others think, since he retains his > > copyright)? > > If you have access to the original work you can cite it as your source.
