race for Brigand?

[biosfe]

<DIV>Hello all,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>just about to start EQII (played EQ for quite some time), and was wondering what people are feeling about the different races for a Brigand?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I wanted to make a Gnome because ive always liked gnomes and they have good AGI and decent STA but low STR.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>the other option i was considering is a Half Elf. . . higher STR, slightly higher STA, and same AGI. . . does the added STR and STA make THAT much of a difference?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>thanks!</DIV>

<DIV>Play whatever you want. With skill mods readily available it wont make that much of a difference.</DIV>

<DIV>yep ...whichever you want more....</DIV>

<DIV>Like has been said, race won't matter much. For what it's worth, I chose Dark Elf because they just seem the right type to be sneaking around sticking people from behind. :smileywink:</DIV>

<DIV>Unlike in EQ 1 where everyone says omg play what you want, ones not better, blah blah blah</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It really is pretty much true in eq 2.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Pick what looks the best to you, pick because of their nifty special vision type, or go human since they get a miniscule bonus to resists...  Doesn't really matter, most armor you get post 20 will add plenty to stats so you won't be hurting no matter if you went, gnome, ogre, wood elf or whatever.</DIV> <DIV>Enjoy <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>ps. Barbarian's can choose to summon beer magically at 18th level <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

Well, i would stay far away from High Elf...Between the pitiful agility / stamina / strength,the wasted points in Wis and Int, ANDThe fact that you have to betray to even choose this raceDEFINATELY under no circumstances should you be a high elf-------

<DIV>I'm currently a Dwarven Rogue in exile (a Brigand in waiting) and can honestly say that so far the complete lack of starting agility made absolutely no difference when compared to the high agility Ratonga Rogue I played in beta.</DIV>

My friend was annoyed when he saw my half elf at 10 less str than his troll outdamged him ^^ .
