The 4e Dragon article was in 2008 (?).....we are not talking about some decades long tradition....it is, in the scope of D&D history, a footnote.I don't care about Canon, I run my games and I make whatever changes I wish....but Iggwiliv=Tasha adds no Story value to Iggwiliv.Indeed it obscures the story of how Tasha's Hideous Laughter spell actually got it's name.The real story behind the spell name is sweet and touching.Obscuring it is a shame.Iggwiliv is probably a Warlock in 5e, and doesn't even have Tasha's Hideous Laughter on her spell list.</blockquote>
