You ask because you know exactly what I'd be citing. Why don't you do the honors.

I hope you weren't expecting me to post the d20 system as it's proprietary and therefore an unsuitable standard for any use.

The system itself is proprietary. Not the practice of abbreviating common words of the english language. You can't copyright words. 1st ed. used these abbreviations, 2nd ed. did too. 3.0+ and D20 have as well.

I mean...if they COULD copyright abbreviations then they could copyright the usage of those things to denote human characteristics in a imaginary emulation of fictitious and fantastical conception.

As it is C&C is practically D&D3E made a fuckton simpler. If I were to ever playing anything D&D I'd go for C&C over anything TSR or WotC any day.

If Troll Lords can get away with C&C I don't think we'll have a problem using D&D as a reference for a standard of abbreviation for stats seeing as it has set that precedent for over half a century now and been used by hundreds of other systems.
