Last year, the Dungeons & Dragons community suggested that Wizards of the Coast plans to limit how D&D rules can be used by anyone publishing a third-party supplement, or a separate game, derived from d&D's 5th edition ruleset. Exploded a leaked draft of the license change. At the peak of anger, Wizards of the Coast pledged to withdraw completely from the proposed changes and make the basic rules available under the Creative Commons License.

On May 1, Wizards endured it by putting version 5.1 of the system reference document into Creative Commons. However, the revised version of the 3 core rulebook, with the Players Handbook on May 9, the Dungeon Masters Guide on May 11 and the Monster Manual scheduled for May 2 next year, left the question of what will happen to future rule updates.

Wizards currently "within a few weeks" of the revised Monster Manual publication, SRD will be updated to version 5.2, and under the Creative Commons license "It's a massive update!""Frequently asked questions promise. "SRD5.2 provides revised rules to the same extent as 5.1. Creators have the tools they need to create content using revised and extended rule sets. However, it does not include references to lore."

So don't expect trademark monsters like illithids and beholders to suddenly appear in Creative Commons, but the fifth edition of D&D (weapon characteristics, maybe?To make the leap).

Calling it a "massive update" is promising, but the wizard has been stingy about SRD before. Version 5.1 includes, for example, one feat, a grappler crushing the world accurately, and only a subclass for each class. That's why games like Solasta: Crown Of The Magister have to invent new feats and subclasses, so Fingers crossed the boring old fighter subclasses of the only champion currently in SRD version 5.2 is more generous with the addition of revised rules.
