What we changed
CC BY 4.0 asks that changes be indicated, so: the SRD material has been reorganised into structured data for the builder to work from, and the sentence explaining each class, species and spell was written by us rather than taken from the document. No rule, number or name has been altered. Where the SRD says a barbarian has a d12 hit die, so do we.
What the licence allows
CC BY 4.0 is irrevocable. It lets anyone use, adapt and build on the material, including commercially, so long as credit is given and any changes are noted. It is the reason a free character builder can exist here at all, and it is not a licence anybody can take back later.
SRD 5.2.1 only, and nothing scraped
The builder ships the SRD and no more: one subclass per class, because that is what the document contains. No 2024 Player's Handbook content, nothing from wikis, nothing from other people's datasets. Every content row carries its source and its licence, so any question about where something came from is answerable in one query.
What is ours rather than theirs
The writing on this site, the tavern artwork, the matching, the tracker and the campaign notebook are ours. A blank custom sheet is yours: what you type into one is your content, it stays private to your character, and we neither supply nor distribute anything to fill it with.

Sessions and money
Sessions are paid, and they are settled between players and their game master directly, in cash or over Whish. Quests & Fables never handles the money, never holds it, and never takes a cut. There is no payment processor in this product and there is not meant to be one.
