I believe that is possible due to a GM event or other GM intervention, because the Guise of the Deceiver is removed from the game about 5 months before Kunark opens.

If you fully plan on maxing out stats or getting to level 60, then Iksar. Since I never fully plan on maxing out stats or getting to level 60, I personally would choose Human Monk. Roleplaying stuff like guise is purely subjective and not quantifiable.

Although regen and AC bonus is a nice perk in the early levels for an Iksar, early levels are pretty easy for either race. Humans will have more strength for killing slightly faster and level 20% faster due to no racial exp penalty.

In general, this is how leveling would go assuming killing the same things.
Level 20 Iksar = Level 24 Human
Level 30 Iksar = Level 36 Human
Level 41.67 Iksar = Level 50 Human

I don't have hard numbers, but based on my experience having leveled both, Humans don't really level faster because they tend to have longer downtime due to not having the Iksar regen. It tends to balance out. less downtime for Iksar but EXP penalty, more downtime for Humans but no EXP penalty.

I never sat as a human monk, so regen would not have made a difference as I would bind wound to 50% and go kill. I guess it depends on playstyle, if I sat til I got 100% health after each kill, then yes Iksar all day every day.

I know an Iksar Monk with guise that someone in Blood Guard bought a few years ago. Got banned like 4 days later. Wonder how much that cost him.
