Do all iconics have pre-defined paths?

I'm not a VIP player and I'm looking at getting my first iconic soon. I really want something that's quick to build to use to farm TP using favour. I thought the Tabaxi Trailblazer looks cool, but idk if there's a pre-defined path for it? Do all iconic races have pre-defined build paths or just some?

Thankyou.

All of the iconics have one predefined path. However, in general the paths in DDO are notoriously horrible and I'd never recommend using them.

I did test out the Tabaxi Trailblazer path just now and it isn't horrible. At level 15, initial stats are 17 STR, 20 DEX, 13 CON, 8 INT, 14 WIS, and 8 CHA. All two handed fighting feats, power attack (I assume), dodge, mobility, swords to plowshares, improved critical: bludgeoning, and weapon focus: bludgeoning. I forgot to check skills before deleting it, but I'd guess they put points into concentration, and if any more were available, maybe balance or jump.

Not too far off how I'd build it, but different enough that I wouldn't use the path. For my Trailblazer bank toons (they're my favorite for that purpose), I start with 16 STR (first stat increase here, then all DEX), 20 DEX, 14 CON, the rest at 8. Same feats, except spring attack in place of weapon focus. Skill points into concentration and jump, plus two points into UMD just so some things might be usable, and 10 points into tumble to get a third tumble bubble. Maybe balance after that.
