Even if I could give him a fungi, wouldn't the fungi + iksar = domination to the point that the xp penalty was negligible?

Not really, as standing regen is i think +1 until 50, so human monk is 16/hp a tick and iksar 17/hp a tick standing. If you're leveling with a fungi as monk (at least until around 40) and have to sit and rest, you're doing it wrong. I got 1-45 on my monk in roughly 45 hours playtime, no pl no bonus xp.

Interesting. The fungi won't be likely for me... Even with leveling a druid cash cow. Is the iksar regen close to the human + fungi regen? (forgive me for my ignorance).

EDIT: Looked it up... Fungi tunic is +15 hp regen/tick.

That's absurd for either race. It gets more absurd for iksar at 51...

51 Iksar monk without Fungi = 6 standing
51 Iksar monk with Fungi = 21 standing
51 Human monk without Fungi = 2 standing
51 human monk with Fungi = 17 standing

Fungi adds +15hp/tick regen,on the following page is the chart for iksar/troll v. noniksar regen rates.

It's pretty easy to get around the faction issue for Iksar, especially as a monk (sneak).

Iksar can bank in the Qeynos sewers and sell with sneak. Once you get sneak you can sell to any vendor (assuming no guards preventing you). There are also neutral vendors in tons of zones including East Commons, West Freeport, South Ro, North Karana, South Karana, Highpass Keep, Rathe Mountains, Lake Rathetear.

Additionally, you can become non KoS in Neriak to the guards and vendors very easily via the redwine quest. Just take an inventory full of red wine and ask for an invis in Nektulos get to the npc, sneak, take off invis and then start turning them in.

One you get Neriak faction you can use a cloudy potion to train skills in Freeport. Ask for an invis in WFP, run behind the trainer on the second floor, sneak, train, and then use the cloudy potion to escape. It costs about 10p to do it this way.


That being said, IMO, the biggest not to choose an iksar (or any class) is how they will look in armor. Personally I think humans look way better in leather armor. Flying kick animation looks slightly better on Iksar, but the FK on Human isn't terrible either. I think the robe graphic looks the best on human female. That's pretty important since you will probably be spending a lot of your time wearing a robe. Attack animations look equal to me on both races.
