I like the Pathfinder iconics:
1) Visually/conceptually
2) I like that if I decide to play a game and players are in attendance without ready PCs, I can just pull one of the iconics out.
Feature 2, BTW, is a significant improvement in the way Paizo does iconics than the way
WotC did them AFAIAC.
So yeah. This consumer finds value.
