Paladin: high elf or half elf?

[falkun]

Assuming you are dead set on HIE or HEF, pick Tunare, simply for the Nature's Defender. One of the best looking weapon graphics ever, and a good sword to boot.

Then the next decision is based on looks. Here are the Velious armor textures for Half-Elf and High Elf. High Elf is better in my opinion, but you can make your own conclusions.

From a min/max perspective, HEF get slightly better base stats, but both are inferior to DWF. ERU bring up the rear in paladin starting stats.

Good luck!
