Morden also looks like a typo. It's not the name in the PHB. And I believe Clark went with Tensur or Tensure and Bigsby. Except for Tashaa, I do believe the names look like names. But to anyone who knows the "real" names, they look like typoes. How do we solve that problem? I have no idea and frankly I'll be happy to explain the problem to any customer who asks me. If it turns them off from my products, well, it'll turn them off from every d20's publisher's products. The real problem comes when we have to deal with Quiver of Elhonna. WotC will most likely OGC it as Quiver of the Forest Goddess or something descriptive: Quiver of Access. How will we get that to point back to the DMG? Quiver of Elhoona?
