Chllenging class/race that has rewards

[Harm]

The best thing about plate-wearing vs. Iksar is that the plate restriction effectively goes away in Velious with the quested and planar armors that don't have the race restriction. The bad thing is that Greenmist is pretty bad for an epic, the two handed normal epic is much much better, and I'm not sure how much faction work it'd take for an Iksar to get it, but I'd guess its a lot. In the end you should end up with slightly higher AC than other SKs, not that it will amount to much.

I still think Ogres are the best SK race with the frontal stun immunity, and the large size makes them even more challenging than normal-sized Iksar IMO, despite slightly better faction and slightly less of an XP penalty.
