Iksar Warrior Worth It?

[gnomishfirework]

The penalty on warrior isn't that bad. I feel like iksar level up quicker than other races anyway. Their starting area is vastly superior.

You'll be grouping on your warrior, so you won't even notice the penalty. Gear might be frustrating, but as was said, if you hold out for velious that doesn't matter.

Iksar look badass. I like them. I wanted a unique warrior and was gonna go woodelf, but ended up settling on iksar. I kind of abandoned him at level 10, but he has my fbss so I think I'm gonna start leveling up again.

You will get an AC bonus over the other races, which obviously is the biggest advantage (to a point). Regen is just a perk, while not as helpful for a warrior as a SK or Monk.

The main advantage a halfling would have, besides leveling speed, would be the ability to use cobalt for the clickies which are mostly overrated. They can also use Blazing armor off Ragefire and the Incardine bp for invis. Iksar's can use the Frostreaver though which is a fairly attainable 2h that's excludes small races (except Dwarves) and the elves/erudites.

Once you get over the look it's all details either way. I don't think a couple hundred hps, a tad of ac, or regen is going to make or break a warrior but if you are min-maxing every little bit counts.
