I agree. That is very irritating. I thought the determination had been made that Bigby and Tenser were, as names, not protectable or worth attempting to protect as they relate to spells.
I can already envision the emails: "Mr. Peterson, I really liked your products at first, but I cant find half the spells you refer to! Blasto the Wizard has spells called Transormation and Black Tentacles. I looked all through the Player's Handbook and even Relics and Rituals and I cant find them anywhere! You need to learn the new rules! Thats the last time I buy a Necromancer product!"
