Creating new character... Shadow Knight or Paladin?

Paladin it is then! now... the race? 1 vote for erudite already

Dwarf.

[Sorn]

High elf!

Odus is kind of a sucky starting place.

Shadow Knight

You can prebuild next target aggro a lot better on a SK... also your taunt spells don't cause mobs to flee, and you don't need to wait for stun to wear off before it gets to you.

Stay evil, stay SK.

I like that theory though...

Despite my heavy bias towards SKs, if you're definitely going paladin - consider a high elf/half elf Tunare paladin for "Nature's Defender"

Nothing too game changing but its another weapon to play with come Velious [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Save yourself a reroll and be an SK. FD is an incredibly useful tool and should weigh heavy in this decision. Ogre for race if you want to min max, otherwise choose whatever looks best to you in plate.

Go Tunare. We will protect the light of Norrath in the name of the Mother! With her blessing, cut down the evil that plagues the world and cure the pernicious rot that crawls through our forests and deserts, seeking to destroy all that is good.

paladin, shadowknights are garbage and server scum. except nuktari, that guys the man

[kaev]

half elf, best looking, best choice unless you go velious minmax tunare, then yuck
erudite, second best looking & rarest, second best choice
human, not common, ok choice
high elf, velious minmax choice, yuck
dorf, generic twink, kunark minmax choice, maybe 1 in 10 learns to play the class well, exceptionally poor choice unless you want to be another mindless crowd follower
