[QUOTE="greywulf, post: 3299648, member: 4285"] There you go. The Iconic stats are done for levels 1-10, 15 and 20. There's links to all of them from the [URL=http://wiki.greywulf.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Macropedia/PlaytestNotes]Playtest Notes[/URL] page. I think the numbers are right - I need to take a break and double-check them tomorrow. Note that these iconics are with basic equipment only, so add magic items (and pepper) to taste. I did it that way because it's much easier to add stuff to the stats than it is to take it away. For the playtests themselves, these stats are used, plus equipment suitable for their level. A few of the playtests we're going to run again because: a) the setup was too complete to explain in a brief paragraph.

But it's not :) M20 works with totals only, not "parts of the total given a special name so we can hang more rules off it" as it is with D&D. [/QUOTE]
