Not sure where to ask a question like this, so I'll put it here and see what happens.
I've been developing a board game for some time, but have struggled with the battle system I've been using. A thought occurred to me today. I once really enjoyed playing D&D 4e, as the only people willing to form a gaming group of me, were video game and board game lovers. None were much for roleplaying, so we opted for 4e, as it was much more structured and battle-oriented.
Anyways, I remembered this and thought that maybe I could incorporate aspects of 4e's battle system into my game. I would be using mostly the basics of how combat worked. Things like the card power system, including the actions (move/major/minor) how they work (Burst, Blast, Melee, Ranged, etc.), and likely the conditions list. I'd probably use similar stat blocks for enemies, though none of D&D's actual creatures.
Anyone know if I would get dinged for this type of use? Outside combat, everything else would be original (classes, lore, etc.).
