[QUOTE="Sound of Azure, post: 3693097, member: 40749"] The more static D&D Iconics shown in the PHB, as well as the example pics shown in prestige class entries certainly aren't as dynamic. I think the reason for this is that they are "examples", as in "here's an example of a character with this class or option". I figure that the Paizo Iconics are shown that way because they are in the midst of the adventure in question. That's really great, and I like the artwork I've seen of them. Again. though, I feel they are examples, but in this case, it is "here's an example of a particular set of adventurers in the midst of this adventure". Same thing, different implementation. --- I'm glad that recent Wotc books have diversified the types of artwork in their manuals and tomes, and not relying too much on only a few artists or styles. Perhaps even more variety should be in order, and then more people will be satisfied. Then again, people would probably complain about [B]that[/B], too. :p :lol: [/QUOTE]
