It is, but at the same time, it allows you to stack stats in other areas. It also allows you to dump your starting stats into stam or str (for those necros that like to walk softly and carry phat loot sticks).

Won't matter much though when people get in Velious, that's when Iksar's will really shine.
I'll agree it lets you stack stats in other areas at creation, more stamina and so on, but there isn't really that much variation to shift your gearing by much without some substantial opportunity costs that could be made up with a better race selection. All in all, in the end, it's just better to have an Iksar with 200 int and only 75 stamina (assuming a 25 int/5 sta breakdown, since it can be hard to get to 200 on an Iksar while still maximizing HP gear) with regen, than it is to be an Erudite with 200 int and 95 stamina (40 more HP) and no regen.

It gets hard to get rid of int after a while. I am stuck at 208 and I can't get rid of that 8 in any reasonable way, and I am a Dark Elf (on Uteu, Sesser is an Iksar).
