Dwarf: Has great starting stats (high dex, sta, str and decent wis) but bad cha. if you want to use this line of spells, you got to gear for them because the crappy cha will gimp you on lulls. Barrel rolls are dwarf only. Problem is, female dwarfs are the best with beards, and they do not get barrel roll! Subpar for fashionquest, basically you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig and that's dwarf with high tier armors they look bad especially pallies. They also swing 2h weapons retardedly.
Human: Naturally high cha, decent starting melee stats and fair wisdom. Bad eyesight for night time. Great fashionquesters, they get mustaches AND velious Dragon Helm! Females have a thong-like fungi tunic that's sparkly when equipped so that's nice. Animations look good.
High Elf: Awful starting melee stats (low str, sta, dex,) but really nice wisdom and cha. Also can do Nature's Defender quest. IMO gimpy as hell looking, they are weak and look weak. I give them a point for having cat helms (the males) as I love cats irl. But, the rest of their attride in high lvl gears is stupid looking and shiny, looks like chain etc etc. Just boring to look at imo.
Half Elf: Decent melee stats but AWFUL wis. IMO worst race ever for any wisdom classes, you start out really gimped here. Decent cha though. CAN do Nature's Defender, and many think they look great for fashionquesting. They do swing weapons like a normal melee should, that's a plus.
***I think the guy above is right, if you really plan to push your pally far and raid with it, stick points into WIS.
I asked this same question myself, about races for pallies, and came to these conclusions based on what others told me and what I noticed while trying different races.
