There are a variety of older men of various races and, naturally, a plethora of young men and women, but not *yet* any older women among the iconic characters, as far as I can tell.

Looking towards Occult Adventures in a big way for this. It seems a natural fit for an Ailson Kindler type.


I hope so. The iconic Occultist appears to be an overweight person based on WAR's sketch, so an older woman is I think the only demographic left.

Turns out, we may well have noticed this as well.

Stay tuned! :D

I take it Occult Adventures is providing an opportunity for a more rounded out set of iconics?

Master Jacobs, if we keep adding new iconics to the roster, I suggest that you reconsider adding that new wing to the mansion.


So the question is, if we're having an old lady iconic in Occult Adventures, who's it gonna be? I'd put my money on it being either the Spiritualist or the Psychic. IIRC we've already been told the kineticist will be a woman, but I think fragile, aching bones would be rather counter to the class's flavor and mechanics.

It is worth pointing out that Merisiel's over a hundred years old.

*hides*


I've been wanting to play a cool old lady for some time now. Having one as an Iconic would certainly be inspiring.

Wasn't their a preview somewhere of the iconic psychic? I recall that character as being a young Vudrani woman.

While I don't believe we have revealed the genders of any of the unrevealed iconics, it is worth noting our policy for gendered pronouns in class descriptions...

Ah an older woman, that's good. I imagine it was getting rather scandalous for Ezren hanging around with so many scantly clad young ladies of the adventuring profession rather then ones his own age.

Damnit. Lem's always coming up with good examples of why I should put more ranks into Perception. Anyone see a snarky little halfling with a stab-wish lurking around these parts? No? Wellllll... TWO can play at the lurking game!

*hides better than Lem!*

Why, hadn't you heard? Ezren's the Most Interesting Man in the World. Women flock to him.

I love Toph


For that matter, Toph's daughters are both gray haired, and both very powerful benders as well!

You bring up a very good point. I retract my statement, and in retrospect having the kineticist be in the Toph age range would be fantastic.

My guess is that it's the Spiritualist, and her Phantom is a deceased family member.

Though a Baba Yaga-looking element bender certainly has appeal =D

If you don't get off her lawn, she might kill you with it.

*goes to playtest document*

*scans each class for gender identifiers*

*comes up with list*

Kineticist—she—female
Medium—he—male
Mesmerist—he—male
Occultist—he—male
Psychic—she—female
Spiritualist—she—female

We already have the sketches of the occultist and the psychic, so either the kineticist or spiritualist could be an elderly female character.

Kinteicist pleeeeease. That would be the besssst.


If the Spiritualist turned out to be a male with his deceased grandmother as his Phantom, would that count? XD

I'm excited to see the art for the spiritualist. Brandon Hodge and I both had very similar ideas about her appearance. I'm very interested to see how it all turned out.

Nope, Feiya's rather young (and is human), she's just weird.

uh oh, looks like you missed
or should I say

my post of a riposte was...opportune
*sunglasses*

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!


I'd love to see a powerful old woman as an iconic, a la Flemeth from Dragon Age, The Queen of Thorns from Game of Thrones, or Mother Talzin from Clone Wars. Someone who could have fireside chats with Ezren.. "Some more tea, my dear? Now, you're gonna let me have that scroll of Limited Wish, or I could tell everyone about the time you lost all your clothes betting on those silly gladiators in the Free City.."
