Fourth Edition

While this website does not participate in the GSL, a good faith attempt not to infringe on any copyrights has been made. It is believed that the information on this website does not violate copyright laws as it refers largely to game rules and not protected expression. The Players Handbook, Monster Manual, and Dungeon Masters Guide are necessary to use the information on the Farland Website, although no claim of compatibility with Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons & Dragons game is made. No ownership challenge to any of WOTC's intellectual material is made or intended. This website is not affiliated with Wizards of the Coast, nor does it claim ownership of any trademarks mentioned here.
