Sure. Iconics were released with Shadowfell. They are characters started at lvl 15 with a custom race and the first class level already chosen. You get to level the other 14 in a process similar to an LR.

That is Iconics in short. For a longer and probably more understandable form, try the wiki (http://ddowiki.com/page/Iconic_Heroes).

And they still don't have icons on the LFM. I guess it takes over a year to make a 10x10 pixel face.

*hides her Wii* No! Stay away from my poor overworked Wii. It's crying in a corner as it is, and refusing to play Netflix no matter what I do, the last thing it needs is to tackle DDO. *Grins*

Bladeforged? The paladin level is even useful. You start as a 14/1 sorcerer/paladin (with Delayed Blast Fireball!) and then take one more paladin level at 16. Then splash 2 or 4 FvS or 2 Monk or just go sorcerer the rest of the way. All the immunities/self-healing/beefiness of a warforged sorcerer, but without the charisma penalty.

Iconics are for all intents and purpose a race so there's no reason to make a new class symbol for them especially since the first level that is forced is an existing class (ie. BF = Paladin) and usually makes sense for the lore of the race...unusually *cough* Sun Elf Clerics *cough*

He's referring to the Icon you see when you hover over specific players in the LFM panel.

None of the iconics have an Icon, there's no way of knowing your joining a group full of iconic bladeforged or a group with a bunch of iconic fleshies.

He's not talking about the class symbol. He's talking about the little face that shows you what race people are when you look at the lfm's. Iconics are all blank still.


EDIT:

Curse you and your ninja skills, fTdOmen! :p

Not a favorite to mix classes..just personal pref. and hate war forged just as a cleric for as long as I've played this I hate war forged.

Nice thing about bladeforged is they get repair spells as part of their paladin spell package. And they can pick up Reconstruct from their racial tree. Which so very much makes them less painful then a warforged paladin. They also get some other nice little benefits, and look rather nice too. Granted, divine magic heals them for even less then warforged. So it's a good thing they can self heal without any real penalties.
