[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 5936951, member: 1231"] This is a bit of a fork from this thread: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/new-horizons-upcoming-edition-d-d/324496-what-do-you-want-see-5e-iconics.html[/url] . What I propose is that we make a list of the "Iconics" from throughout D&D history. However, for the purposes of [I]this[/I] particular list, I think we should exclude characters who actually belonged to certain people (Evard, Otiluke, Robilar, [I]et al[/I].) and characters who were primarily novel based (Driz'zt, Bruenor, the Heroes of the Lance, [I]et al[/I].). The list should include name, class, race, gender, and, if they not obviously "Iconics", justification for their inclusion. So: Regdar, male human fighter. Jozan, male human cleric. Tordek, male dwarf fighter. Lidda, female halfling rogue. Mialee, female elf wizard. Krusk, male half-orc barbarian. Ember, female human monk. Vadania, female half-elf druid. Alhandra, female human paladin. Sovellis, male elf ranger. Hennet, male human sorcerer. Devis, male half-elf bard. Eberk, male dwarf cleric. Gimble, male gnome bard. Nebin, male gnome illusionist. Kerwyn, male human rogue. Naull, female human wizard. Aramil, male elf wizard. Not being based on PHB classes, these guys are sort of "also rans": Athain, male half-elf hexblade. Korrin, male human marshal. Deruwyn, female elf scout. Meara, female human swashbuckler. Morthos, male human warlock. Arthon, male human warmage. Sorra, female human favored soul. Ialdabode, male human psion (telepath). Mitra, female human psion (shaper). Sandharrow, male half-giant psychic warrior. Eulad, female maenad wilder. Xerxes, male xeph soulknife. Ragnara, female human psychic warrior. Kazak, male dwarf psion (kineticist). These were provided by [MENTION=52734]Stormonu[/MENTION] : Strongheart, male human paladin. Ringlerun, male human mage. Mercion, female human cleric. Warduke, male human fighter. Elkhorn, male dwarf. Figgin, male halfing. Paralay, male elf. These four were from the quick play Dungeons & Dragons adventure that was found at the beginning of (edit) [s]male[/s] [I]many[/I] a Dungeon Magazine (edit: how in the Nine Hells did I make a spelling mistake like that?): Darkblade, male human fighter (in the ranger spirit). Elanna, female human fighter. Niles, male halfing rogue. Thaddeus, male human wizard. [/QUOTE]
