I think Iksar existed before any idea about how best to sell an expansion. And their AC boost is the only meaningful benefit they have that you can find in another race for most of their classes (regen is the same as Troll) and even that isn’t that meaningful.

Nightvision. Before everyone and their twink had an ultravision item. Humans dont have that. Had to play with gamma cranked way up which is a pretty retarded way to bypass it.

AC bonus.

100 swim skill. Nice for a new player, less chance of drowning.

Regen. Always nice for the classes that have it. Gives iksar an advantage with monks and necros.

Advanced character model.

Forage. Again, one less thing for a new player to keep up with and need less returns to a city for food and water.

Iksars made both the monk and necro classes have pretty much one option if you wanna min/max, which raiders were all about. Before iksars, what mattered?
