[QUOTE="hong, post: 369223, member: 537"] Personally, I think using "Tensor" instead of "Tenser" or "Nystal" instead of "Nystul" just looks like someone misspelled something. :) My preference would be to do something like what happened with wizard mark and wizard eye, which were renamed to arcane mark and arcane eye because they conflicted with 3E's naming conventions. You could do the same with Mord's hound, Tenser's transformation, etc. You probably don't need to do this with every item or spell, only those without an adjective attached to the name. Thus: Mord's sword -> arcane sword Tenser's transformation -> arcane transformation Mord's faithful hound -> faithful hound Leomund's tiny hut -> tiny hut etc. You could do the same with wondrous items, but substituting "wondrous" for "arcane": Quiver of Ehlonna -> wondrous quiver (or quiver of wonder) Apparatus of Kwalish -> wondrous apparatus (or apparatus of wonder) Heward's handy haversack -> handy haversack (or haversack of wonder, but that messes up the alliteration) [/QUOTE]
