It's ok. I forgive you for being such an evil jerk.

And you are blessed... and you are blessed... and you are blessed... and you are CURSED!

I don't believe that God lets scum like you repent. Looks like I'll have to send you to hell.

You won't see me in hell, but rest assured I'll be laughing at you from heaven.

More Divinity taunts:

Good boys go to heaven. You're just going to be torturously violated by the slime-coated tentacles of the abyssmal beast.

I smite you in the name of goodness!

God loves you. But he wants me to beat you senseless.

(alternate to above) God may love you, but he loves me more.

 now keep in mind that the forum classes are not exactly equivelant to D&D classes. After all, I'm a student of divinity, not a cleric.

Yeah, but stick with what you know, right?  Heh.  I need *something* to relate them to.

Do you play DnD 3rd edition?  Well Bag-O-Rats is this really nasty trick fighters can pull off by combining Great Cleave, Whirlwind Attack, and lots of expendable enemies, or "rats" (ie summoned creatures, the BBEG's lacky minions, etc.  Or just an actual bag of rats you pack around to dump at the BBEG's feet before you Great Cleave him to death)  Its just kind of a joke for DnD players, its powerful and broken (which is why they made it impossible to do in 3.5 DnD).

see, a lot of those are spell names specifically in D&D. I don't think we can use stuff like "Phantasmal Killer" without breaking onto copyright grounds.

Yes, I intentionally tried to avoid references to D&D.  I put in the warrior taunts you came up with because they were blasted funny, and because I figured one little section of 'in' jokes was okay.

I really like some of these--the boxing, and most of the ranged weapons--but things like "Belt of Cloud Giant Strength" seem a little too D&D to me.  I don't want to throw away the work you've done, but I'd really rather use things that seem a little more original.

I think the only dnd spells with a copyright are the ones not in the OGL, like the Mordenkainen spells... which are actually in there, just without the character name.  But no dnd spells at all?  That will take forever... although stuff like stoneskin and fireball isn't exactly dnd specific.

Actually, i'm going to rant a little aobut copyright law and proper use of the d20 or OGL lisence:

WHen you write something down, it is copyrighted. No ifs ands or buts. That is the law.

However, you can give written permission for someone to use your material in other contexts. There are already a number of legally allowed uses, some under the often mis-understood "fair use" scheme that are typically used to defend copying someone else's work, and some which cover reviews, academic work, etc. Very few of them allow you to make any money off the copyrighted material, but it's possible under things like parody (OF the material, not using copyrighted material to parody something else, which was probably the argument in American Greetings' smackdown of PA over Strawberry Strumpet).

The lisence Wizards of the Coast has provided is one of two. d20 or OGL. There are important differences, basically pertaining to how similar the system is to the original d20, but for the purposes of what you're proposing, there's no need to go into that. The essential problem with using their spell names, legally, is that we are not fulfilling terms of either lisence in many areas: actually using a d20 system being a huge one, and not posting the lisence information being another huge one, and not designating clearly and specifically which material is d20 and which is original being yet another gigantic, monster violation of the lisence.

Now, I believe EUOL's main reason for doing it was just for it to be something esle. The forum classes are not meant to be specifically D&D spoofs. They're meant to be something else entirely. However, even if he did, there would be a lot of work we'd have to do in order to make it legal before we did so. It's easier to come up with creative new ideas than it is to either copy a spell name or come up with a new name for a spell with the same idea.
