Nyctessa is the Dhampir necromancer iconic correct? Honestly she didn't appeal to me whatsover sadly. I wonder if we'll get a new Dhampir iconic one of these days?

She was one of the villain iconics from Hell's Vengeance, but she's appeared outside of that AP in Wake the Dead. She was always the least villainous and more pragmatic of all those iconics, she's just balancing her adventuring life with Gebbite politicking. That's something I find compelling, and gives two sides of all of her interactions. No shade on Usharak though, I'm excited to see how things go or him in the long run.

To me it sounds like what people want from a ninja is a stealthy magical trickster, which could just be called the Trickster. I would be all for a Trickster class tbh, since that sounds fun. Samurai are just knights with different hats so idk, that's just a fighter to me. The iaijutsu stuff I think could just be part of like a Ronin archetype, especially since real aristocratic samurai valued and practiced marksmanship more than melee combat.

Kinda sucks that there's no new Primal Dragon keyed to the Planes of Metal and Wood... Hopefully those will come soon.

The Dragonet looks fun, again hopefully with new heritages based on other regions.

Actually most of the classic primal dragons have been keyed away from the elemental planes, and the imperial Forest dragon is now keyed to the Plane of Wood. So now we only have Brine and Forest as elemental dragons, though its stated in the book that the other imperial dragons do originate from the elemental planes.
