Is leveling in Unrest possible as a Iksar?

Well, after researching the game mechanics a bit more I'm going to have to pass on the Iksar Monk.

I had NO IDEA the experience penalties effect the whole group. Whoaaa. Glad no one knew about that back when I played my Paladin on live. Not to mention -20% experience is just too harsh for me personally to handle. At least I can rule out bard as a possibility also (was a close second choice for class).

Nobody is going to not take a monk in their group because it's an iksar. They'd rather have an iksar monk killing things fast than a high elf wizard sitting on his butt casting once a mob.

And don't worry about a silly 20% penalty. It's not a race to the finish line, and besides that, once you get to max level, you'll have an iksar monk with regen and innate AC instead of a human monk.

Do what you want, but don't let the exp penalty scare you off. It's not like it will take you twice as long.
