Magician Race Question

[Curmudgen]

Ok from the start I know the real answer is play what you want, and in the end it doesnt matter, and all the races even out...etc etc.

My question is thus. Are there any advantages other than cool looks that would make one want to play an evil race for magician...ie dark elf. I suppose you could play cazic-thule erudite or bertox gnome...but the elf is the only one KoS all over I think.

Anything?

Anything?

Ultravision without having to use an item or spell?

Best advantage of being a good race is, if you solo the hut on Sister Island in OOT from 24-32 you can actually vendor the Long Swords (11p each, weigh a shitload) to the Dwarf vendor that's on the same island like 20 feet away. On my Dark Elf Mage, I had to take boat all the way to East Freeport to unload when I did that and it's annoying as shit.

I remember comparing the base stats of each race and went with Eru. I don't recall the differences though.

[Curmudgen]

Is it worth it for being able to sell in grobb or oggok? And can a cazic Thule or bertox worshipping Mage sell in those cities?

really though, why would you play anything else?

Am I misunderstanding hide?
I always believed it was a self-only, standstill only invis.
Meaning it killed your pet when you invis, and won't take you off the aggro list.
So if you can't hide to med and keep the pet up, and cant hide to clear aggro after the pet is dead, whats the point?

yeah, that's really why i was kind of like "umm..."
because looks themselves should be enough to want you to make a dark elf, obv

Gnome...because they are superior in every way...and it's in their blood to party.

Gnomes get tinker, which might come in handy eventually. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
