Is one better than the other? I really like the looks and stats of human, but I'm not sure how hard night blindness is to deal with. I was able to snag one of the serpent sight rings, but giving up an item slot just to see seems like it could be a pain as I level up and get better gear.

My only real issue with half elf is the horrible starting wisdom. I've tried to look it up and I see some people say it doesn't matter due to mana regen being more important, and others say wisdom is the most important. Kind of lost on which one is true. They do have high dex and agility, but does that really do much?

Finally, any help with starting stats would be great. I was thinking 5 stam 15 wisdom for half elf, and 5 strength, 5 wisdom, 10 stamina for human. No real idea if that's dumb or not, the wiki says dump all in stamina but I don't know if that's accurate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I only have about 10k to gear him, if that makes a difference.
As Crede says, Nature's Defender is inferior to Paladin Epic. Paladins have one of the easier Epic quests too. Nature's Defender would be the main reason to pick Half-Elf with Tunare as deity.

Realistically it is fine if you use the serpent ring for night blindness. You'll be down 65 HP and a few AC, but you have bigger problems in a fight if 65 HP was the determining factor for life or death. Especially since Paladins can heal themselves and root.

These are the two items I use on my human mule, they take a ring and range slot. Should hold you over until you can get https://wiki.project1999.com/Eyepatch_of_the_Shadows , which has Ultravision and good melee stats.

Starting stat-wise, with 10K of gear you can get a lot of cheap STR gear and WR bags. Put all your points into WIS. If you cannot put the full 20 into WIS, put the last 5 into STA. At the end of the day starting stats aren't going to really affect your leveling experience. You'll notice them more in the endgame if you get there.

Some posters may try to tell you that putting all your points into STR is going to give you a noticeable increase to your DPS, but they have nothing to back up this idea. Getting a small increase in DPS does not always mean you are getting more kills per hour.
