With all these new classes, I have a suggestion for a new Class Act idea, Iconic Paths.
Sometimes a new class will just "click" (Psychic Warrior= Xena), but sometimes, I need more to "get it". I need to see it in action. Show me a Binder as he progresses in levels. What does a Swordsage aspire to? I need you to give me an Iconic example of the new class that is more than just "Here's a 5th level Totemist".
For example, consider the new Factotem from Dungeonscape, a perfect Iconic version would be Dr Van Ricten from Ravenloft. Show me what he would look like at 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th levels.
At 5th level, he is just a healer and doctor, but then he loses his family.
At 10th level, he is becoming a real threat to the creatures of darkness.
At 15th level, he has become something that vampires fear.
And at 20th level, he has become a living legend.
Interesting idea.

Interesting choice.

When you say "Show me what he would like" do you mean you want a stat block? If so, there's no way four stat blocks are going to fit into a class act article - especially if one of them is a 20th level character. If you mean something else, like just elaborating on your blurbs that I cut out to save space, then you run the risk of having an article that's too "fluffy." (in my opinion)

I don't think our pages are best served by statblocks, but I think it would make a good web utility. You should bug Wizards of the Coast about doing something like that on their website or something. They seem to like to put up that sort of utility stuff. :)

WotC has a bunch of stuff like that. The best one is the Fight Club, but the Elite Opponents and Prestige Classes are pretty good as well.

Well see, there you go.
Thanks Vattnisse! :)
Plus, if you feel like doing it up yourself and sharing it, you can always put them up at DM Tools. There's a new nifty feature that lets you copy old stat blocks into new ones. :D

No, I don't need anymore statblocks.
If I say "15th level Rogue", the images just jump into your head; a Guildmaster ruling the alleys of a city, Lara Croft exploring a lost tomb, The Grey Mouser on an epic adventure in Lankmar.
The same is true for any of the core classs because they have been around for so long. But what if I say "15th level Binder"? What role does he fill in a fantasy setting? If a 15th level Druid is guardian of a Forest, what does a 15th level Incarnate do?
I guess I am looking for an overall theme and definition byway of an Iconic character.
