Sorry little gnome, you tried your best.

In theory!! But will there ever be an iksar who rises up beyond the greatness of gnome bone knights?! I don't thinks so, would take much dedication and accolades (like being the champion of battle!)
But, even by the numbers, things aren't that good for Iksars. Sure they have a decent AC boost and regen bonus....BUT
gnomes start with 108 int
Iksar start with 85 int
And both start with same dex.
So as far as a bone knight goes, gnomes can boost their DEX up by 25 to start, giving them an edge in the ways of bone knight fighting. Iksars would need to dump that into INT just to MATCH a gnomes massive gnome brains.
Essentially iksar bone knights get an AC boost and regen boost, and gnome bone knights get a +25 dex boost or +25 int boost to start.
BUT! Gnomes also get superior peepers!! Able to see through walls of all sorts!
AND gnomes get a blanket faction bonus! Which is why it wasn't too hard to become beloved by all cities. I can go to halas, surefall (including druids at rings), qeynos, rivervale, kaladim, kelethin, freeport, neriak, erudin...all without skeleton form!
And with skeleton form go into grobb and ogok.
An iksar would be hated everywhere. Just for an AC bonus??
I dunno, gnome bone knights is mighty powerful. Let alone being around so long and collecting ancient treasures. It will be a long long time till an iksar can really challenge the greatness of gnomes (and even then, they will have trouble matching gnomes). By the time the first young iksar bone knight is born, with great dreams in their eyes.... Palabin the ancient bone knight will already be clad in fine golden armor forged by the efreetis!! An achievement (and AC boost) that an iksar wouldn't be able to achieve for a looonggg time after.
