Counterpoint: enchanters can be whatever race you want them to be with the cast of a a spell.

And they're often just gnomes anyway for wall hacks, door tricks, and/or not getting stuck in tight spaces!

I would go gnome for wallvision. I rolled a erudite as my first chanter for the stats and keeping the gnome illusion up when I wanted wall vision or zoning was annoying as hell in the game. Saying you can be anything you want sounds good on paper, but when it poofs when you zone and has to be refreshed along side tons of other buffs it gets old fast. Wall vision is the best.

hide is unreliable; taper enc is unreliable - either cast ivu on self, or get the ring

[iruinedyourday]

yea but after you zone out all the npc's snicker about how you look like a frail 90 year old man

[REMEZ]

High Elf for the CHA if you can tolerate how awful they look(yes illusions, bla bla bla, but you will be looking at your cha for a long time so you may aswell like how it looks). I did Dark elf for hide. No its not reliable, but it is a great tool to go afk with with(invis fades) or try and break charm instanly instead of casting spell that takes time.

All enchanters should also be agnostic unless you are into some kinky roleplaying. It will allow you to enter all cities(almost) with illusions and not have to worry about your God getting you killed.

ironic how the ugliest character model has the highest charisma..

I also assume that HEF arnt a very funny group of people..

I just dont understand why they have highest cha.

unless draping your city in gold is all it takes.

Ok, so if you want to pick the "best" race for a certain class, the easiest way is to add up the stats that matter. Erudite 117 int + 80 cha = 197. High elf 102 int + 90 cha = 192. Erudite also has higher Sta and higher str (let's gave it, encumbered sucks). Even if you feel like you absolutely have to get to 75 agi with your starting allotment (you don't), they still have equal int/cha plus more Sta and str. Go Erudite.

INT and STA are not as important on an Enchanter as CHA. I would not add those stats up. The only thing to add is CHA + starting points.

Int is absolutely important for enchanters. Even with breeze/clarity/c2, you need a mana pool.

And I mentioned Sta and str as bonus. Having a higher health is beneficial, being slightly less encumbered is beneficial.

In the end it seems to be min/max vs RP/personal asthetics. I like my DE, he's just cool with an innate 80s mullet. Checkmate to all other arguments
