request: Iksar melee merc

Now that melee mercs are worth using, Ill like to revisit an old request. There should be Iksar mercenaries! Remember the first day of Kunark? 10000 Iksar monks fighting and dying on the Field of Bone. Iksar were made to be melee! Currently I am using the poor substitute of a lizardman. Ugly! Please allow Iksar to be melee mercenary.

Somehow, I suspect this request is a bit more involved than we’d like it to be.

If only due to two lacks, remedying either one of these would solve the problem : no Iksar Rogues, and no Monk Mercenaries.

Right now, player model mercenaries are all viable player character race/class combinations (no wood elf cleric mercs, no erudite warrior mercs, etc.). The only exceptions really are the non-player character race mercs.

Personally, I don’t care either way - I run a pair of froglok cleric mercs and I’m happy with Hippy and Hoppy. (Ok, now I really need to rename them to those names!)

easiest way i see to add this would be to have it as a special merc.. like the gargoyle or werewolf mercenaries

I'd go a an iksar melee merc that was old model only

Are the lizardman merc from TDS available as melee DPS? That's likely as close as you'll get

They are. In fact, I have one.
