#1 qaragal Jan 24, 2009 10:39:36	Hello, I'd like to create another pact for the warlock (as the dark pact in FR) and I was wondering if the GSL is OK with that. There's nothing like that in the SRD, just the guideline to create a whole new class. Any info ? Thnaks a lot !
#2 fatumd20 Jan 25, 2009 11:34:22	Yes, under the GSL, you can make a new warlock pact. This would be considered new content. Just be sure you do not redefine any existing tech for it. For example, you cannot say "Instead of a pact boon, this warlock pact gets two weapon fighting." This would be changing (i.e. redefining) the core warlock features. Stick with the overall template that has been presenting and have fun making a new pact.

Thnaks a lot ! not giving any legal advice here however: Adamant Entertainment has two products out dealing exclusively with new warlock pacts

Thanks for the answer ! But it gives me another question : Can I propose a new build of an existing class, like in Martial Power ? For example replacing a class feature for a new one I create ?

If they can create new classes, I don't see why you couldn't create a new class, such as a different flavor of Warlock...

For example replacing a class feature for a new one I create ? I don't see why not as long as you word it correctly. Don't say "replace Ranger's Hunters Quarry with Snow bunny slayer." You could say though "You can choose the new Ranger Clas feature Snow Bunny Slayer. If you do, it takes the place of the Ranger's Hunters Quarry." That's my understanding anyhow and I'm not a lawyer but I got a good lesson on this stuff

The SRD has all the templates you need to follow to create just about whatever you want. As long as it is original/different.
