Troll SK
 

Where should i allocate my stats upon creation?

int

Sta

lol. i know i need STA for hp, but how bad will my mana pool suck with like 67 int? or is it that big of a factor?

considering hybrid mana pool sucks to begin with, I wouldn't worry about int. Some SK gear will have int anyways.

Your main choice of stats will rely on tanking, and not so much casting. Disease cloud will be your most useful spell aside from feign death and unless you're casting like crazy, even low int shouldn't bother you too much.

ok, is there any reason to pick any particular deity at this point in the game? how about for the epic quest?

No epics. Troll SK is a good choice but I think the unstunnable ogre (from the front) is a better racial. Pump STA

hybrid mana pools get better in kunark iirc. dont worry about low int.

Disease cloud costs like 10 mana...you will be fine without putting any points into int.
