[Vermicelli]

As an enchanter of the good Brell Serilis, the only large trouble I have had was being accepted in the evil outpost in the Overthere, as even going under the guise of Darkelf and using Collaboration I couldn't bank or sell there. However, without doing any faction work in the Firiona Vie goodguy outpost, they would dubiously accept me all over town except in the shaman guild were I to walk into town as an Iksar. Feels good to be good =)

Two notable factions that *could* have complicated my life were the Oggok warrior and shadowknight guilds, but after several runs of the Stein of Moggok quest, the Craknek warriors and I got to speaking terms.

As base-race gnome and follower of Brell Serilis, I'm pretty sure I've gotten killed more often thoughtlessly running around goodguy factions when under the effects of an evil race illusion for fun than I've gotten whacked trying to illusion as evil in evil lands. When you get to experimenting with passing under illusion in cultures you're not familiar with, take it slow. /Consider NPC's often, remember that merchant and banker NPC's cannot ever /con less-friendly than dubious (so don't let your guard down), and use Invisibility liberally when you're not feeling safe. And even when Invis, some NPC's (such as Guard Ledshin who patrols around West Freeport) can see through that invisibility, so be doubly super safe. But be sure to have super double fun with how you feel about your toon!

Chanters are definitely a power-house class in Classic EQ, but they also can attract some of the most creative people who simply want to have fun in a fantasy world. I originally settled on Gnome for my race because it tickled me to imagine being a tiny creature who could magically poof into AAANY shape she wants, kinda like a Studio Ghibli character, if you are familiar with anime films. Have fun with it, and since you got to thinking about it at all, I feel that you will =D
