Thanks for all the responses! going to fool around a little bit with erudite. I'm really intrigued with the idea of not being Kos in some of these good cities.

It's funny that shadowknight is a really tough choice when it comes to race when all my other classes it was pretty easy picking something I wanted

I'd only go with troll, ogre, or iksar. Plan to solo/duo a lot, take iksar or troll, plan to group a lot, take ogre(frontal stun is really quite useful when splitting mobs with FD).

With Erud you trade 5 useless disease resist for 5 awesome magic resist too!

Don't forget to get your ago to 75+... I also find weapon skills accrue much faster with 75+ dex, though I'm not sure if that is just me being crazy!

Depends on who you are "trading with":

Str+stam+ int = 337 for ogre, 262 for erudites. I'd honestly give stamina a 150% modifier in usefulness, making the difference even more stark before even touching on slam or FSI.

Ogres have pretty OP stats, but I can't make myself play one. Ugly AF and you have to pay a fat tax in dungeons for eternity (shrink pots) unless you enjoy getting stuck/not being able to cast in a ton of places.

The point I was making was in reference to the comparisons and contrasts between dark elves and erudites. Though you're not wrong about overall ogre awesomeness.

Consider only sta/int, 90% of our gear has +str, if you don't cap str even on the weakest race at high lvl you have some issue...

[elwing]

If you ignore str, ogres get 197 vs erudite 192... Through sta is more important in my book...
High str definitely helps a lot to level and when undergeared... Later it's just a waste of stat points...

And even if he does start getting high end equipment, that excess strength by that point will be about as useful as all that extra erudite int you started with. Str x 0.50, stam x 1.5, int x 0.25 end game. Prior to end game more like str x 1.0, stamina x 1.5, int x 0.50.

[elwing]

I truly agree with str x 0.5...but over 255 str =0...and even as a weak race you should be at 255...
