Yes: we've already established that Iksar is superior. Anyone who only cares about min/max could have stopped reading this thread five pages ago.

I'm trying to establish how much they win, ie. how much of a slight disadvantage non-Iksar have. Because to some people min/max isn't the only factor, and if you want to compare the min/max benefits against other factors you need some basis to do so.

Yes, but non-Iksar get 6, so Iksar are only net 12 better.

Also, I'm not sure that wall of text is going to be helpful for the purpose it's trying to serve. I doubt OP is going to read all of the above and then meaningfully compare it to "how much of a pain will it be to redo levels 1-12?" or "how much cooler do dark elves look?" ... because the human brain just doesn't work that way, especially when it has to compare very disparate things.

But it can make simple comparisons like "is looking like a dark elf cool enough to be worth giving up an extra darkness/5 min at 60?"
