devinmdp 06-30-04, 05:44 PM	I believe it is still in the printed Monster Manual. Devin

Mirtek 07-01-04, 06:41 AM	Originally posted by nick012000 It's all the intellectual property of WotC. Yes and no. The SRD version of the Orc is the intellectual property of WotC, an orc in general is not. So WotC could not stop me from making D20 stats of an orc for my own D20 supplement. Thus they included it in the SRD since not including it wouldn't stop 3rd parties from using orcs. Certain beings, like mind flayers or carriron crawlers, are in general the intellectual property of WotC. I am simply not allowed to create my own D20 version of a mind flayer or carrion crawler for my own D20 supplement, since these creatures completly belong to WotC. Thus excluding them from the SRD does prevent anyone from using these exclusive creatures.
