Here's another question, related to something also mentioned in this thread. I know that Ogre is considered the ideal race by most folks, but what is considered the ideal way to spend those 25 starting points? My friend had made his twink a barbarian (I argued for Ogre, but he didn't like the "feel"). He threw all 25 points into stamina. Would that still be the way to go if I could convince him to reroll and Ogre? Or should it be a split, maybe tossing some into agi/dex to compensate for the lower Ogre stats?

As far as I am concerned, the best racial available to warriors before Kunark is slam. So, any large race will do. Interrupting casters is huge in any xp group, and absolutely critical if you have any illusions of soloing a caster mob that still grants you xp.
Frontal stun is nice, but I don't think it is any better than troll regen. Barbarian faction is pretty nice too if you like to travel much... you know, since you have no sneak or hide or invis gear available as a warrior (yet, anyway). Ogres will certainly have the most hp until Velious is around and other races can start to cap stamina without sacrificing a ton. However, the real secret is, until Velious... it isn't a big deal. All warriors will be over 3000hp at 50 with good gear and buffs, many will clear 3500. This is more than enough hp to make CHs mana efficient, and no fight in classic lasts long enough that mana pools are a consideration [unless Vox is bugged and melee push is turned off =)]. I'd say, make a barb, ogre, or troll and drop 5 sta or 5 agi and the rest in dex.
