They start with the follow base stats:
75 str
80sta
100agi
95dex
+20 points to distribute
If I were you I would put all those points into STR.
The iksar have infravision and regen as fast as trolls. They probably take
a slight XP penalty for this. Their high agility and Dex means taht you can
IGNORE those stats and go for straight AC and STR gear - something that
human monks cant do as easily.
So in a word, Yes, iksar are better at lower levels (1-40). Beyond level
40, the regen rate means squat cause you wont be soloing and you will have
over 1000 hp. The AGI and dex wont make "all that much" difference, cause
human monks would have acquired good gear by this time to compensate them
for thier innate difficiency. All in all I would have to say that an Iksar
at level 50 and a Human at level 50 would be go about 50/50 in a series of
duels, with prhaps a slight edge going to the Iksar.
I do not intend to start an iksar monk. But I think they will be great
monks to play and level from 1-35 or so. Bear in mind they will not be
liked everywhere they go and faction will be a problem for them.
