Why can't Wood Elves be Paladins (Verant's reasoning?)

[timeconsumer]

While we're at it, why can't ogres be monks? Would love to see that flying kick animation.

I am not sure what Verant's reasoning was, but it seems to be something Brad was fond of, VSoH suffered from it too for quite some time until SoE patched it out as part if its blundered attempt to save the game. I promptly rolled a halfling disciple (and monk) and never looked back. Halflings were much better looking in VSoH though. Here I'd have to roll DE monk ^^

I like having race class restrictions (although an Ogre bard would rule. Immunity to stuns). There are some that should have been allowed. Half EOF clerics and Halfling Bards should both be things

[maskedmelon]

I'd prefer to see all the restrictions lifted, but no support added. Want to be a high elf shadow knight? Go for it, but you'll die on zone in and good luck making it to FP or Neriak to train. And good luck getting the faction to do that! Of course, not classic ^^

i find wood elves being unable to roll paladin & cleric totally logical based only on their lore. I'd actually perceive it as illogical if they could.

Why can't half elfs be wizards??? The bandits in Karanas are half elf wizards.

EQ2 gave everyone the opportunity to pick any race/class combo.... totally killed it for me. I wouldn't trust an ogre with an ice comet, would you?

Depends which way he's facing...

Not sure I'd trust an Ogre with a great axe much more though.... ^^

*edit*

I thoroughly enjoyed my traitorous dark elf monk (not brawler or whatever the evil ones were called) in EQ2 ^^

But ogres are strong they summon a ball of ice the size of a comet and throw it at mobs.

I have a better question, why can't half-elves be SKs, specificly Innoruuk SKs. They get shat on by everybody, perfect recruits for the "god" of hate. No, instead they must be druids and paladins with their lowest stat as primary, lol.
