New player, Rogue religion and race question.

[Aesop]

None of the racial armor is worth mentioning for a rogue.

Asslings have pretty darn good all around stats, putting all the points into strength will net you a char with good base strength and good dex/agi and decent stam. Dwarves will have a higher base str/stam and since you won't be raiding that is a strong consideration for you. The barrel roll is nice, but the reality is you are a Dwarf.

Barbarian is the superior choice for good looks, highest base strength and northmen are in general ubermensch.

As a non-raiding rogue you want high strength because you won't be in ToV gear to make up for lower base strength on wood elves, humans, gnomes and such.

Humans ARE pretty dope looking rogues, and that Wood Elf racial helmet is the win. But you'll be happier with a dwarf or barbarian I imagine. You can spend all your time in DE illusion anyhow.

Female Barbarian is smallest large race you can get just as an FYI.

Wood Elf female helm that is, the male one is meh.
