Icons

I spent today hunting for icons that I could use to label sections of the character sheet and, possibly, section headers for the text. All the half decent icons cost $45+ for a commercial license. I'm not willing to drop that kind of money on something that isn't a perfect fit. I saw plenty of things that gave me ideas of what I would like to see in an ideal icon, so I might have to make my own.

I'm kind of stumped on what to use for the three Passions: anger, fear, and heroic. I considered several themes. Elemental (fire for anger, ice for fear, and sun/star for nobility and self sacrificing heroism); animals (snake or spider for fear, lion for heroic, and bear our honey badger or something for anger); emoticons (angry, scared, and determined faces). Still not sure what way to go, but leaning toward some variation of the elemental set.

Any suggestions?

  1. Either the elemental or the animal theme would be fine. Alternatively, what about combining some of the icon themes? A closed fist for anger, an spider/snake for fear and the sun for heroism, for instance.
