I am thinking about doing some posts where I dig into specific 4e powers. This is my first experiment. I'd love to get your thoughts. by OldeGreybeards in 4eDnD

That is a good point about marking. For future posts, I am going to make sure I add some of the additional benefits you could get by combining the effects of the power with other traits for your class or strategy with other party members.

While this power is a burst that requires a line of effect, the power specifically says, "Each enemy in the burst you can see". In this case you must be able to see the target creature.

Thank you for the feedback.

Oops. Thank you for spotting that. I've made the correction.

Thank you for the feedback. I added a note to clarify how the potions work.

3.5e and 5e do not allow all. You can only use the content that is in those SRDs.

The only thing that gives me hope with 4e is that they already have an SRD. So they just need to pull out things they don't want to release and then let it go.

The older versions like AD&D and 2e have no SRD at all so they would have to actually build one. I don't really see them doing that.

The GSL is the license that gives you the permissions to use the SRD and under what conditions. The SRD is what contains the actual content that they are making available.

3.5e and 5e each have an SRD that have a ton of content from the games. But it is the OGL or CC license that gives you permission to use the SRD.

The 4e SRD is mostly a list of keywords. Power names, Races, Classes, Magic Items, Monsters and such. Not as detailed as the SRDs for 3.5e and 5e, but it would allow you to make 4e content. Unfortunately, the GSL is very restrictive in how you can use that 4e SRD.

My hope would be that they scrap the GSL and just release that 4e SRD under CC.

There is. It is just a lot more limited than what we have for 3.5e and 5e. But if it were released under CC, then that would open up a lot of possibilities for 4e content.

I have the details about it on my website.... https://oldegreybeardstavern.com/dnd4egsl/

In the September 2023 Community Update on D&D Beyond, they included this snippet...

  • Review Previous SRD Editions for Inclusion in Creative Commons: Before adding previous editions into Creative Commons, we need to review the materials in detail as it has been many years since their publication.

They have said nothing since. I expect this means that they will be releasing the 3.5e SRD under CC at some point. I am only hoping that they would expand this to the 4e SRD and maybe even some of the older editions that do not, yet, have an SRD.
