Don't neglect adding points into Strength at creation. If you don't do that on a Wood Elf you'll be encumbered just trying to carry your armor, let alone any loot. When P99 originally opened I knew numerous smaller-race tanks who went all stamina at creation only to quit in frustration by level 30 or so. As a general rule of thumb I like to have at least 90 base strength on a race that can wear small armor (like Wood Elves) and at least 100 on races that can use medium. More is better but those represent what I've always regarded as livable values on a fresh server with little or no cheap +STR gear floating around.
Beyond that, having access to forage and hide are nice perks. The Ogre would hold a hit point advantage probably into Velious but if you're in it for the long haul eventually everyone'll wind up the same.
