how much better is Iks Monk compared to Human?

[Ronnie555]

I miss my Iks monk.. settled on a human this time around.. but it's tempting to just wait for Kunark and make a shaman til then (barb or troll, depending on how KOS I wanna be and how much EXP penalty I'm willing to deal with)

thoughts? at high lvl lets say 40+ (I know thats not super high but still..) how big is the difference?

Check http://forums.monkly-business.net/in...geid=abilities for difference in fist damage and natural regen.

I seem to remember Iksar getting an AC bonus of around 40ac.

Iksar are hated everywhere but Cabilis.

Hope that helps.

thx, very helpful.. I guess I'll keep workin on my human for now and switch over to Iks when the time comes...

I don't mind being KOS everywhere... Kunark has zones for all levels!

I leveled 2 monks to 60, an iksar and a human. Got both their epics.

Human was FAR easier.

cool man, thanks. What factors made it easier? just being KOS as Iks? exp penalty still exist when you leveled them?

I would say iksar monk is way better, as noted before:

The only downside would be faction, but faction isn't important while grouping. Everyone who can port can also make you invisible. necro's, orges, trolls and darkelves all have to live with being Kos and they can manage too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I played an Iksar monk and didn't find it too hard to level him as there are some very nice 1hb monk weapons with kunark. Being hated everywhere wasn't a major problem either, I killed the guards at the toll booth in WC and ended up being loved by the guards in North freeport where I could go to through the secret tunnel and bank and could sell to any vendor using sneak.
