What's the name of the badass on page 34?

[Thelemic_Noun]

I can't begin to tell you how awesome the iconic investigator from the Advanced Class Guide is. He's like a mix of Morgan Freeman and Shaft, which is possibly the best independent clause a sentence has ever contained.

And unlike the iconic paladin, who was all stretchy and washed out, this time around Wayne Reynolds actually did the iconic investigator justice in the illustration. There's even a hint of Lando Calrissian's refinement in the way he handles that sword cane.

Sounds like you mean Quinn

[Captain K.]

He's called Quinn. He is indeed awesome.

Quinn the Eskimo is a an old song from the 60's, the GI Joe character was a reference to the song. :)

I love Wayne Reynolds' artwork. His style really brings these characters to life. That being said, I do sometimes wonder if he is paid by the number of distinct items a character has strapped to him. Guy can't seem to help himself. Just once I'd love to see WAR do a character who is wearing armor, has a weapon in hand and (maybe) a dagger or something on his belt. Instead, we get a guy who, before venturing into the dungeon, has strapped on:

7 daggers, 5 potion bottles, a backpack, bedroll, beltpouch, fanny-pack, frying pan, slide rule, commemorative beer stein, sextant, ketchup dispenser, garden spade, abacus, French press coffee maker, hedge shears, pocket watch with chain, Hello Kitty™ alarm clock, garage door opener, embroidered opera gloves and a George Foreman Grill™.

Sometimes less is more. I'd like to see WAR use his formidable skills to depict characters who look like they could actually run in their gear, carry it a great distance and--possibly--sneak around without sounding like an experimental Victorian aircraft flying into a combination windchime/glass figurine boutique.

(Note: This mildly exaggerated example is not directed at the drawing of Quinn, but at WAR's characters generally).

[Lemartes]

Which is part of my problem with his work. It's not that he isn't talented it's the style and the choices he makes. Which makes most of his work come off as too cartoony and/or absurd. Such as the giant anime mega sword the warpriest carries.

I know some people like that which is fine, but it's not for me. Paizo has a lot of other artists I like much more.

Your use of the trademark symbol here is exquisite.

This whole sequence is worthy of many chuckles from me. I tried to say it out loud and couldn't because I would laugh in the middle of it.

And yes, accurate to the art, but lets be honest. Most D&D/Pathfinder players DO have that kind of crap all lined up on their character. You should be glad that every character doesn't have a 10-foot pole.

[blahpers]

I'd like to see a character lugging around an actual golf bag filled with weapons of different materials/damage types/banes. And maybe a 3-wood.

[Phoebus Alexandros]

StealthMarmot, you took the words out of my mouth! :)

[JurgenV]

I swear i saw rule 34 at first....

Paizo's getting ready to release THE MERISIEL ACTION FIGURE (accessories sold separately)

I prefer to think of him as Mighty.

[Fearspect]

He's okay, but he's no p248. I want that character, in that pose, as a figurine for playing.

[Ruske Bell]

Another iconic question, what spell is it that Seltyiel is casting, the fiery bird one? That has been bugging me for ages.

The armoured one, or the punted pig?

The Punted Pig sounds like a pub name. And now I know what the next tavern people meet in is going to be called.
