Which works for 3.5, but 4E isn't going to have and SRD that's so plain and simple. Instead the 4E SRD is going to be a reference of what parts of what books are SRD.

So, instead of "Fighters get a bonus feat every other level" you'll get "The section on fighters as it regards their feats, level progression, and other widgets as it appears on pages 13-15 in the Player's Handbook"

Or something to that effect.


right but if you read the post i responded to was about how he knew how to download the srd for offline use.

is the main way i know how. I would sure hope this is legal, its hosted on their site.




Stumbled across this thread again, and realized I left an important bit out.

"...there are ways to download the Hypertext SRD to an offline folder..."

I wasn't sure about that rules and such with that, since I remember it having an option somewhere to subscribe to something on PPnP and get an offline version of it. Which makes sense, since the guy did make and host it. But he did host it on the internet, where it can be accessed for free. So...can you see where I figured the water might be a little muddy?

[EDIT]: I'm sure I'm just being my stupid self again. No proof on that though.

Has there been any official word as to an answer to the original question posed?

I am still curious, as it could mean the diffrence between me buying digital copies, or making them myself. If I need to do it myself, I need to throw a few more ranks in craft (pdf) as I haven't done it in about 6-7 months.

Officially, no, and I think that this was originally posted before DDXP, so here's what's changed.

Buying books with codes is out, instead of "unlocking" digital content, DDI subscribers will have access to a searchable online Rules Database that will give the text of any rule (non-subscribers will be able to search as well, but they'll just get the book and page number of the rule).

I believe they said they still intend to sell digital PDFs of the books as well, and that they want any DRM they use to be "as unobtrusive as possible".

So. . . no clear answers, but it would *appear* they don't intend to do a single-PC lock (I'd say that's pretty obtrusive in my book).

So long as I can buy digital copies of the book with unobtrusive DRM, then I should be fine.

Thanks for the updated changes.
