Message: <blockquote data-quote="Raven Crowking" data-source="post: 5540096" data-attributes="member: 18280">Another point against the meme that StupidName MultiMonster is a product of having different types of each monster:RCFG, like 4e, has zombies.  I know, big surprise there.  RCFG, like 4e, has zombies that can do different things.  In addition to the bog-standard zombie, RCFG has zombies with the following qualities:FastHorrificInfectiousIntelligentRegeneratingToughNow, while "horrific" might not be obvious, I bet that the average reader can get a good idea what Fast, Infectious, Intelligent, Regenerating, and Tough mean.Likewise, giant ants might be Jumping, Spraying, Venomous, or have Trap-Jaws.  That Trap-Jaw is close to a 4e-ism, I suppose, but also reflects (1) a real-world property of some ants, and (2) is used to actually describe, rather than to make something GlassTransparently IP-Protected.Some of the 4e compound words are actually cool and are worthy (IMHO) of appearing in future editions of D&D:  Shadowfell and Gravehound, for example.  In some cases, these are not really 4e-isms, except for putting the words together.  A grave hound existed long before the gravehound zombie, for example.If the current level of DumbSounding NameStuff doesn't bother you, or you don't think it is DumbSounding, then, obviously, you are good to go.  DumbSounding is subjective, after all.  But, if you are not bothered, it doesn't therefore follow that no one else should express that they are (if they are).RC</blockquote>
