[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 4760956, member: 4892"] I believe that's the real point of having a Greataxe vs. a Great Axe. A Greataxe is a specific D&D weapon. A Great Axe is any axe that is superior to the average axe. This has occurred to allow for multiple variations of the same creature. I geuss they could having gone with a Cackling Hellsworn, but they decided Cacklefiend gave their creation more identity. I think this was most important for low-level humanoid races. Not much differentiated 1st-Edition orcs from one another except their armor, weapons and hit dice (and the occasional shaman). I'm having fun converting 1E modules to 4E by changing up the variety of creatures. As to the OP: English is ever-changing. New words are added on a constant basis. Hanging on to the old rules just makes you a Language Grognard. Not that there's anything wrong with that. :) [/QUOTE]
