Dwarves in general have some of the best min-max stats. Barbarians can edge them out in some regards and slam is handy (especially when the max level is 50 ie no spell interrupt kicking). Crushbone, Unrest, not bad to be close to. If you want to play with friends the Barb has a long journey to make. The gnomes won’t get clockwork armor for a very long time.
Humans and halflings are solid choices. Elves are kinda meh.
Really though. Pick what you like the look of most. I wouldn’t eat exp penalties for a nominal amount of vanilla EQ regen or FSI with the ogre. In fact, there is a 10% difference between halflings and barbarians and 5% between humans and barbarians which might tip the scale towards the “inferior” race. Remember...no fungi tunics and jade maces.
