New Spell System from another game

[Starquizer]

Hello Hive,

I have an idea from other game that I want to add it in WC3 spell system. Is this forum the best place I can mention what I want here because I don't want to make any conflicts or cause any illegal disturbance ?

well, if you want someone to make that system for you, go to Requests section. since teh system is going to be recreated it will not cause any conflicts or 'illegal disurbances'. Only ripped files cause 'disturbances'.

As a moderator (in 2 different forums ^^) i can tell you: If the idea is FULLY mentioned in credits (or in a foreword) and ofc in every place, you post that, then this is no problem. Just don't claim it for yourself and always say: i didn't do "this" part of the Jasstriggering.
But it's legal. (hope, every moderator will agree )

OK, I shall mention it here and see if it can be accepted or not.

Well, the spell system of WC3 works normally but I want to add something called saving throws; they are numbers assigned to a unit if a spell is throwns at a target he rolls 1d20 + saving throw number and if the result is greater than or equal to the spell saving throw then he avoids certain damge or and effect like stuning or slow. If you played games rather than blizzard ones you might know what I am talking about. So is this allowed ? and where to mention it (in what forum?) ?

its DnD system, and i dont know any reason why it shouldnt be allowed. DnD rules aren't copyrighted as i know.

i dont think you would be able to copyright something like that. 1d20+X vs 10+X is pretty much it.

Explain, please.

well.... im just assuming there has to be some kind of limits to what you can put copyright on. just like i cant copyright the word 'moron', its PROBABLY not possible to copyright something like this system.
