    I was thinking of creating a monk character and was considering the Iksar...Is that the best race for a Monk?

    I like Iksar due to the better AC and HP regen, but standard Monk 1.0 epic is much easier as a Human (or Drakkin).

    Thank you for the info... I will consider it

    If you do go Drakkin you can get iksar illusion and human illusion item clicks, but there isn't a re-useable one for Drakkin

    Iksar all the way!

    Monk epic isn't any harder for an Iksar. Sneak makes faction issues go away. Hit sneak, make sure you're behind the mob, and you'll be indifferent, good enough for 1.0 turn ins.

    And nobody likes drakkin.

    /agree

    They *are* rather fugly, and not in a good way, like ogres

    Humans are blah... and Drakkin just look goofy..

    Iksar all the way.

    There is no best race anymore racials are meaningless at high level.

    Agreed. Pick whatever you want to look at more.

    Human if you are female. Iksar otherwise. It's all about looks anyway. though the iksar AC bonus, is nothing too shabby.

    A bonus is still a bonus! And a lower levels, not powerleveling, the swimming addition may help out a lot, as will the vision.

    Iksar is alwaqys the best race if possible.

    Easy now. Just because we gnomes will never be able to go on most amusement park rides and are forever cursed to buy our clothes from Baby Gap doesn't mean we're bad. :)

    I would go with an Iksar if I was going to make a monk.

    I concur :) Although I do have a Gnome Enchanter (That's always in a non-gnome form). Someone has to do the tinkering for my toons!

    I play an enchanter just so I can go to Pellucid and play "punt" the gnomes.
