In practical terms, you don't need bash resistance if only 1 or 2 things is hitting you, and most feign failures with 3 or more things hitting you will be due to feigning when something is mid-swing, which affects Ogres the same as anyone else.

With the above in mind, for a Shadow Knight I consider Troll/Iksar regeneration the stronger racial attribute. Going back to the original post (Human vs Iksar), the choice therefore becomes a choice between a fine racial attribute versus moderately faster leveling and better general convenience. The Iksar is better in the long run if time is no concern.

If Iksar lands were more populated, I would definitely choose the Iksar even with the AC penalty (per se).

However Kunark still 'scares' people.
We host full dedicated xp sessions with teleport access and often a res bot nearby. And yet people still give me responses such as :

That's too far away
I don't know that zone
Kunark, no thanks
Why don't you come to Mistmoore instead?
Is that the lizard place?

You'd think this was 2000, people relied on the boat primarily and no one had any twinks.
