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.

What about risks? What are the risks of being a sk? You're all talking about leveling penelties but besides that what are the challenges of being a sk?

Faction, mostly. Sk's in general can't sell/bank/walk freely in most cities without faction work. Iksars can't bank/sell outside of their own city at all to start with.

Actually you need Iksar faction to even get Greenmist, making Iksar the only real race that can get it w/out handing in annoying amounts of bone chips.

I'm actually of the opinion that if you want to compare Greenmist vs the Shadowknight Epic, Greenmist + shield might even be a better combo. Being able to bash to interrupt spellcasters is great, not to mention you'll have an extra 30 or so AC and comparable stats. Not to mention the proc is better.
