Wait, what? Halflings can both Hide and Sneak as racial abilities? Tell me you're mistaken 'cause if not I'm pissed for never trying a Halfling. The biggest reason I went w/ Rogue was for the Sneak+Hide combo.

Yes they get both. They just can't move while hidden like rogues can.
The abilities are also capped at 50 and you don't get a success message.

Iksar or Ogre in my opinion.

Ohhhh, right, right. I feel much better then. I was about to roll a Halfling Pally on a new, non-banned account and have him sneak-hide all over the place, but if they can't move while hidden that kills the buzz.

Troll was nice as a noob (HP Regen), but the xp penalty isn't worth the lack of utility you get with an ogre IMO. That's not to say trolls are bad. I loved my troll warrior on live but if I had to do it all over again I'd try ogre next time.

Sneak is still really useful.

My monk used it constantly when traversing dungeons, pulling, etc. As mentioned before, no success message, but still pretty handy. It was also useful against merchants - "What? You glower at me so I can't trade with you?" ::sneak behind, initiates trade activity with same merchant::

However, it's certainly not more handy (aggregated) than no frontal stun, slam, and really good stats, since you spend more time getting hit than sneaking or deceiving merchants. You're a friggin warrior, after all.

Just curious what the best warrior race is? I heard someone say Wood Elf because they get an hp bonus or something? But others say ogre.

No HP bonus, but Wood Elves are the sexiest. As yourself if you want to be ugly or sexy.

But seriously though... What you gain in Stamina by going Ogre is offset by the negatives. Not fitting into some dungeons and having to ask for shrink. Being KOS in many cities. Plus, if you are one of those folks who believe AC is king, a high starting AGI can give you a nice bonus.
