Why are Erudites even an option if you're punished just for being one?

Evil should be hated everywhere not rewarded for being evil and players shouldn't be forced to roleplay an evil race if there is good and evil on offer which in EQ there is..supposedly.

Good should not be penalised for being good and nobody should be forced to play an evil race.

Human Monks should be innately on par with Iksar Monks while both still having unique and interesting racial traits. Humans don't even get any racials what more proof do you need that there is a bias towards evil in this world?

Erudites are not an evil race.

Erudites understand the boundaries of keeping a civilised society and while they prefer not to socialise with those outside their own race, are quite capable of interacting on good terms with others.

Yes, that's my point.

Erudites are less capable Necromancers not because they're black (that probably helps them a bit) but because they are 1) not racist 2) a good race 3) More human looking 4) stylish.


It's one of those 4 why Iksar make better Necromancers but when you factor in Monks too then it's obviously number 2 as to the reason why because Humans an Erudites both have GOOD in common and they both get screwed by Iksar design.

It's a subliminal way of getting you to choose evil which is stupid because evil is hate everywhere and EQ is a social game.

They created two classes of Monk and Necromancer when they didn't need to.

They actually created two new classes.

Monk 1.5 (Iksar Exclusive Class)
Necromancer 1.5 (Iksar Exclusive Class)


Iksar: Racist, reptillian, anti-human, anti-beauty, alien
All other classes: not reptile

So if you want to be a good Monk or Necromancer you got no choice but to be a stinky evil lizard who is hated by everybody and sees itself as the master race.

I want to edit my original title.

Erudites Matter

Choice Matters.

Forcing somebody to be an evil lizard monk is anti-choice when they should be able to choose to be a good huan monk instead and they should NOT be penalised for that decision.

If you penalise Human Monks just for being Human Monks then choice has been destroyed.

The Iksars are the racists not the humans. Why do the racists make better Monks when monks are all about enlightenent?

Iksars have a more dramatic feign death animation. Humans have a better flying kick animation. Iksars get innate regent. Humans look cooler in Velious armor. Pick what suits you.

Yeah, everything you listed minues the innate regen is non-essential.

The innate regen is the problem.

They gifted a race something special for being evil or reptillian or not offering choice.

Iskar only have one choice at birth: evil.

That would be like being born in a muslim or christian society where you can't decide for yourself.

They rewarded that with innate regen maing a class which is all about enlightenment and associated with humans being played better by evil lizards who don't believe in the right to choose good over evil.

At least Erudites get some nice ERU only items.

Human monks get…. Qeynos badge of honor and an Inny neck? For the same slot.
