Worked Examples

Fictional feat: "Sundering Momentum" — a homebrew combat feat built on the Core Rulebook's own combat-maneuver rules (Open Game Content), with an original name and effect not copied from any published feat.

Staged as: Contributor Name set to the creator's name, Derived From set to "Core Rulebook," and no Referenced Product Identity (nothing in the feat references a protected name). The generated declaration would read, in the same shape this site's own tool produces: "Derived from the Core Rulebook, used as Open Game Content under the OGL-1.0a. The game-mechanics content of this derivative work is designated as Open Game Content, contributed by [Contributor Name]. Product Identity of the original publisher is reserved by its owner and is not claimed here."

Fictional monster: "Frostfang, the Iron Wyrm" — an original creature statted using the Bestiary's own creature-building rules (Open Game Content), with no reused creature name, art, or lore. Not a reskin of any real published monster.

Staged with no Derived From value at all. The generated declaration is shorter, identifying the content as original rather than crediting a specific source — there's nothing to cite when nothing was derived.

Browse the compendium and open any published Item, Feat, Trait, or Spell — its own detail page shows a real "Sources Used in This Record" card and a real Attribution card, generated the exact same way these two fictional examples describe.
