I don't think Half Elf is that bad, you're -15 Wisdom compared to a Human but I could see preferring Infravision to that if you're truly starting with nothing. Being blind in the dark can suck if you're not surrounded by a bunch of other people in the same boat.

I don't think anyone can argue that half elf is has the lowest stat total amongst the races that can choose paladin. 15 wis is not
nothing
Combined str/sta/wis/cha stats:
Dwarf: 338
Erudite: 313
Half Elf: 305
High Elf: 325
Human: 330

Dwarf is easily the best stats if you don't care about Charisma, like for example planning to play with an Enchanter friend who will already pump that stat and do the Lulling, while you focus on maxing your other abilities. Really in general if you put +20 Charisma into a Dwarf when starting, your overall stats are better than any other race.

Dwarf definitely has the largest stat pool, but not by a huge margin, and losing 5 to agi at creation makes them even or worse then high elf in my opinion.

I don't like Erudite from a non-aesthetics standpoint. -30 physical stats compared to a Human with the only upside being +5 magic resist.

Definitely second worst choice stat wise.

Strength is the most important if not raiding IMO, you do more damage, which is always good, and being able to carry more means you make more money.

Str is a great stat, I went 20 str at creation and I'm still 90% happy with that decision. It helped me level faster and I'm still not str capped self buffed with yaulp with decent starter raid gear. It's a good choice, if I would swap points around now at 60 I would go charisma because it'd be so much easier to cap it without huge gear swaps.

Crit fail can always happen on lull.

Of course, especially deep in seb or in chardok, but getting 220+ makes a huge difference and everyone who has that much knows this! If you want to solo or pull you absolutely need 200+ charisma and this can be difficult to achieve.
