new player SK, Iksar or DE?

[gotrocks]

Iksar is the superior choice by far.

Essentially any class that can be an iksar is best as an iksar come velious, and generally on par with other races for that class in kunark.

Problem is you're eating a 68% xp penalty as an iksar sk, which is fucking BrutAl in every sense of the word.

If you're up to punishing yourself, and want to be among that special class of uber badasses who pick the lizardfolk, go iksar.
