And third-party publishers citing it only need to include a single sentence rather than the whole chunk of text the OGL required.<\/p>\n<p>SRD 5.2 also includes more stuff than SRD 5.1 did. It contains multiple feats rather than just one, for starters. It also includes the 2024 update&#8217;s weapon masteries, 20 more spells, 15 magic items, rules for playing a goliath or orc, and a bunch of additional monsters\u2014the 2024 version of the Monster Manual added a fun rule where a troll&#8217;s arm or leg could get cut off mid-fight and keep attacking you, which is now part of the SRD, as are rules for Bugbear Stalkers, Swarms of Crawling Claws, Vampire Familiars, and more.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s not in the SRD are rules for trademarked monsters like illithids and beholders, or the artificer class, rules for bastions, or for playing an aasimar (a person who is part-celestial being, and a counterpart to the tiefling&#8217;s part-fiend). &#8220;These exclusions are based on brand identity protection, licensing strategy, and intellectual property rights&#8221;, Wizards of the Coast explained in its <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dndbeyond.com\/srd\">FAQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s still a chunky <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/media.dndbeyond.com\/compendium-images\/srd\/5.2\/SRD_CC_v5.2.pdf\">361-page PDF<\/a>.
