Question on race/class experience modifers

[alreadyhome]

Thanks Cormac I missed that sticky becuase I looked for the FAQ with the link at the very top which is futile. Hrmm, this is really a tough choice on which character to roll then. I'm not sure I can justify the monotomy of a warrior or penalties from the SK or PAL. Well thanks all I think this settled.

Seems like there is a slight lack of shamans and wizzies at high levels.

Tanks aren't toooo hard to come by at higher levels.

Mages/Necros/Druids there are quite a few of.

Rangers/Paladins/Rogues/Bards are fairly scarce.

I would say there is very very few 50 wizards.

Do hybrid penalties come to play on how much exp you lose when you die? I've noticed that at least during hell lvls I'd lose alot less exp.

At 42 pain and suffering ate about 1 yellow (playing an ogre SK). Is this like 1 + half a yellow to, lets say, a human cleric? =o

dark elf cleric, its ~1 yellow you loose when you die at that level

Even as a Halfling rogue I was losing ~1 yellow at most levels over 30 (can't remember when it started to be that much). So I don't think the penalty or bonuses carry over to deaths.

I could be wrong, but based on my experiences and what you're saying it doesn't seem to be the case.

Ranger / Bard -40% exp bonus

Makes absolutely no sense to me, what is the reason for it?

I can understand:
Troll -20%
Iksar -20%
Ogre -15%
Warrior +10%

But not any of the others.
Monk -20% makes no sense either. Is it because of FD? I've seen tons of monks die from failed FD.

Class penalties are retarded and illogical and that's why they were removed.

Racial penalties make sense.

Wheres the sense in it? Are do ogre/iksar have abilities that others not hve?

Iksar = AC Bonus/Regen/night vision
Ogre = No frontal stuns/slam/night vision?

I've you've ever tanked as a non-ogre you learn to live with being stunned a lot. When you play an ogre and you realize how much you were getting stunned, you never turn back.
