That's a very nice, if well-worn, sentiment, but looking cute is something you can get from gear. Perma-frontal stun immunity, if/when it's implemented, is unique.

I just wanted to clarify that this was on topic. The OP stated that he was rolling an Ogre Shadow Knight as to do otherwise would be "noobish". I was disputing this line of thought and was trying to open him up to additional possibilities. Yes, it is a "well-worn sentiment" however based upon the content of the OP, it warranted reiterating. I was hung up on such things too and finally realized that everyone was correct with the advice to go with what you like. He was lamenting the notion of having the Ogre look as a Shadow Knight so I threw in the suggestion that he consider other options and that if he chooses differently from the well-worn path of Ogre/Troll Shadow Knights, that he will be fine and not be shunned by other players (albeit with fewer racial abilities).
Also, in Everquest, appearance is an important element. People tend to look alike due to the limitations of the available graphics at the time. This is why there is such a push to get new items. They have function, yes but also the LCF (Look Cool Factor) and differentiate you from the hoards of other Ogre Shadow Knights or Dark Elf Necromancers or Barbarian Shaman.
