What do you mean by exp penalty? I never got around to really playing a tank on EQ, might be fun.
I like to play lots of type of classes, thats why I was asking. If I start playing 1 and it ends up a class I dont like to play, then I will just start up another. Yea, it sucks starting back at lvl 1, but I think the more classes you know how to play, the more effective player you can be. Or at least thats what I have learned through the years of playing so many games (especially MMOs).

Well if you've played MMO's before, then you should know that tanks and healers are the most needed classes. Only because they suck at leveling and in EQ, most always need a group to level.

Like what I and a few others have said, play what you want, not what we need.
Hybrid classes have an experience penalty, and so do some races. I think Trolls suffer a 15% penalty due to a higher regen, Ogre's get a 10% penalty due to the ability to be unstunable from the front. Halflings get a 5% increase. Barbs get a -5%.
Go through the list here to see which race does, and why. Usually due to abilities. Humans were supposed to get the Halfling's exp increase, but due to miscoding, when the game was released, the devs realized their mistake and I think it may have been too late to make corrections, or they got lazy.
Shadowknights, Paladins are what's called a hybrid. They are melee and casters, Paladins *warrior and cleric*, Shadowknights *warrior and necromancer* so they must suffer somewhat to keep things in balance for the most part. Bards are also a hybrid, but not really sure what of. They are warrior and some kind of a caster, but not one playable in EQ, so they also suffer a bit too I believe.
