I'm not looking to publish anything here - but there are some classes/races from previous versions of D&D that I would like to use.
My question:
Because I'm a lazy idiot, I was looking at copy/pasting these classes/races descriptions and info from previous, paid, WOTC publications.
For example: Can I convert a 3.5 race/class from a Forgotten Realms 3.5 resource book using the information provided in THAT book? I don't really have time to write a full description for everything - so I was looking at simply copy/pasting that stuff.
I'm not sure what the rules are here - it doesn't seem legit - but at the same time, WOTC owns the content in the books I have, as well as the content here. So it's like here's a description of this from <reference book here>. Would love to get some insight into this.
you're welcome to create private homebrew based on previous editions of D&D / AD&D - that's totally fine and can be really cool. :)
Please note, as above, we ask that you don't hit the publish button on anything that Wizards of the Coast own copyright on, but sharing it privately within a campaign is fine.

D&D Beyond FoundersHi there,
you're welcome to create private homebrew based on previous editions of D&D / AD&D - that's totally fine and can be really cool. :)

If you need help with homebrew, please post on the homebrew forums, where multiple staff and moderators can read your post and help you!
"We got this, no problem! I'll take the twenty on the left - you guys handle the one on the right!"🔊
Okay - I figured as such - thank you for the clarification!
