| As to the value of iconics... I don't know if there's any obvious advantage. We all certainly seem to be able to identify them, and even have strong opinions. Does that really affect my enjoyment of the game? I'm not sure, other than the shared fan experience, like talking about Meepo.
The Pathfinder iconics... I dunno. I have the first PF adventure path, and I couldn't even tell you their names. To me, they're just sample PCs at the end of the books.
