Seriously though, love seeing Regdar die, but love seeing all the iconics die, fall off things, catch fire etc. Maybe it's Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

Oh I dunno. I kind of miss having the iconics to kick around. I mean sure, they were all completely lame, but that's what made them so much fun. We could all come together as a community to mock Hennett or talk about how Mialee was the ugliest elf wizard ever conceived, or make Krusk talk in the 3rd person and ponder how Kerwyn was the least popular iconic ever.
Then again, having cool, diverse character designs is better for sparking the imagination, and I never have to fear flipping through an arcane book and running into a full-page Mialee picture in some akward pose some poor artist apparently thought was sexy for someone who didn't look like a bug.
Surely, some compromise can be found? An introductory book full of cheeserific iconic characters that we can all laugh at? Another irressistably bad novel line written under pen names, so no one has to admit they wrote that book where Hennet and Ember hooked up? Hmmm....
