So, a while back I remember a post asking if non-iconic characters would get their own Owner cards. And then, being the horribly original person I am, I figured why not use DriveThru's card creator and just do it myself? However, this means putting the name's of Paizo's characters on the cards, even if I stick it down in the Powers box. Problem is, I don't really know if I'm allowed to do that? o_O I'm not so great at understanding the details of the community use policy when it comes to this, so I figured I'd throw it up here and see what people can tell me. If any official Paizo people happen to read this, feel free to let me know.

Remember, there are two options with the Card Creator: public and private. You could generate the card without saving it to public. If you do that, then it does not have to follow the Community Use policy.
If you are trying to duplicate a card and add the Owner trait and name to the card, I'd do it privately. That way you don't get in trouble with art and text copyrighting.
If it is an original card, then you could create it publicly and simply add the character (owner's) name to the card. Most of the non-iconic characters have images and names that fall under the community use policy.

Private cards are totally fine with me. Ultimately, I really don't *have* to put the name on the card. After all, they're just for me/ my group and we know who the owner is. I'd just like to stick the names on there for the aesthetics.
