Name the Iconics
Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2011 6:18 am
Because the signal-to-noise ratio is too high...
D&D 3.5e had Regdar, Lidda, Mialee, Jozan, Krusk, among others. And who can forget Aleena or Morgan Ironwolf? Or Warduke, Strongheart, and Melf! Pathfinder has its own set of recognizable faces for the PC classes.
The C&C PHB doesn't illustrate every race and class, but they are distinctive enough that at one point IIRC TLG had some plastic minis cast.
Some guesses at their races and classes (4th printing). Mr. Thorne should of course feel free to chime in:
11: Dwarf Fighter
12: Human Ranger
15: Human Rogue
16: Half-Orc Assassin
19: Human Barbarian (3rd printing barbarian looked no less mad, more of a wild man of the woods)
21: Couple of guys fighting, no idea (3rd printing had a human monk breaking arrows, he is the more "iconic" to me)
22: Half-Elf? Wizard -- to me he is a truly C&C wizard; no beard, fancy robes, or pointy cap; looks like a wizard who works for a living.
23: Human Illusionist
25: Human Cleric -- she is a worthy successor to the dark haired twin of Aleena pictured in the red box.
26: Human? Druid
28: Half-Elf? Knight (and Horse)
30: Human Paladin
32: Human Bard
Missing are any elves, gnomes, or halflings from the class portraits unless I got them wrong (probably). The Bradley Gnome is pretty easy to spot, though. One might plunder the race section for further iconics.
Anyway, what would you name these guys? (Or write an angry rant about how you hate iconics and wish them to Gehenna).
