Last week everyone got their first look at the new Iconic oracle, Korakai, and yesterday, we saw Feiya in action in her own Iconic Encounter story by Wendy Wagner. What some may have noticed (I can’t say for sure, because I’m writing this before that story goes live) is that Feiya and her fox familiar Daji got a bit of an update between first and second edition. This year, we don’t have video interviews with Iconic illustrator extraordinaire Wayne Reynolds like we did for the core Iconics, but we do have his reimagined final pieces.

So, without further ado, check out the Pathfinder Second Edition updates to Feiya, the Iconic witch; Jirelle, the Iconic swashbuckler; and Quinn, the Iconic investigator. Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we explore their second-edition abilities in new Iconic Encounters, and then make an investigator, oracle, swashbuckler, or witch of your very own with the Pathfinder Advanced Player’s Guide, available everywhere July 30!

We did it! We've made it through all 11 updated iconics who will appear in the Pathfinder Core Rulebook in August! There's a twelfth iconic, of course, who didn't get a video because he hasn't evolved from a previous iteration, but never fear—Fumbus doesn't mind sharing the spotlight with his friends, especially not Valeros, who the goblin alchemist is particularly fond of for his ability to drink so much! Sure, it's ale and not pickle brine or strange alchemical concoctions, but Fumbus appreciates anyone with an appetite (or thirst) that rivals his own. Valeros is one of the iconics who changed the most between editions, switching out his second sword for a shield. Check out this short video of a conversation between artist Wayne Reynolds and Paizo's Publisher and Chief Creative Officer, Erik Mona, for a glimpse into the mind of Pathfinder's most iconic visual artist and the first official look at the new version of Valeros, the iconic fighter!

And that wraps up our Iconic Evolutions series. Thanks for taking this journey with us! Next week, we'll start looking at some of the changes to the Pathfinder setting as presented in the Lost Omens World Guide, also releasing on August 1. Stay tuned for a glimpse into the Age of Lost Omens, where your characters are set to embark upon their greatest adventures.

No Iconic Evolution this week, folks! Nah, that's just some April foolin' a day late.

It's been 12 years since famed artist Wayne Reynolds designed the core iconic characters we've all come to know and love.

Check out this short video of their conversation for a glimpse into the mind of Pathfinder's most iconic visual artist and the first official look at the iconic barbarian, Amiri!
