Message: <blockquote data-quote="James Jacobs" data-source="post: 4903870" data-attributes="member: 23937">Yeah; since we loosened the paladin's code a little in Pathfinder (they can now work with evil allies as long as it's for a greater good and as long as they try to redeem the evil ally, etc.) we wanted to establish that fact right at the start by having our iconic paladin and the iconic multiclass character in the same party.There's other reasons they're in the group, of course. Seltyiel is from Cheliax and worships Asmodeus, so flavor wise it makes sense for him to be in a group that's in a Cheliax-located adventure. Seelah worships Iomedae, and Iomedae's got a vested interest in Cheliax since her dead boss Aroden was supposed to reappear there before he died. Iomedae and Asmodeus are probably Cheliax's two most important deities, and we'll be doing articles about both before the Council of Thieves adventure path is over.And also... we generally try to pick iconics for an adventure that aren't the same ones who we just did for the previous adventure path.That said, while we do try to stick with those four iconic characters when providing illustrations for the adventures, we don't always stick to them. Sometimes the other iconics show up in illustrations. It's kind of fun to imagine each group is going on the campaign, but there's not really an implied story since we re-use the iconics all the time; unless they're getting drained back to 1st level after each campaign, it doesn't make logical sense that they're doing all of the adventures.</blockquote>
