Iksar bad for a new player?

[curtischoy]

It should not be harder for iksars to group. Maybe a bit of a pain if you want to go to high keep and camp goblins? I've never been there as an evil race.

You get invis at 29 which greatly helps you. With just invis you can bank easily at the bank in north freeport. This is my main bank on just about every character I play.

Being evil (especially iksar) is a hindrance for sure. It makes the game more challenging and makes it more fun and frustrating at the same time.
