What does a Human Monk get over an Iksar Monk in P99?
A Monk is the only class I can realistically see myself playing as a Human (for that swag eyepatch), but I'm trying to determine how a Human Monk is supposed to be evenly matched with an Iksar Monk in the long-term in regards to damage output and survivability, without the Iksar Monk having a clear, permanent advantage (regen and innate AC) over a Human Monk.
In other words, how is a Human Monk not inferior to an Iksar Monk in the end, assuming identical gear, stats, and player skill?

Who ever said a human monk is evenly matched with Iksar? Nobody is my guess

20% faster reaching 60?
faction? you don't have to shy away from literally every non-lizard guard. that has gotta cost you another 10% of your time to 60 probably some minimal weapon/gear choices I am unaware of as a filthy casual. (hero bracer) I would say a monk starting in qeynos with all the crazy quest xp gives you another time boost. does anybody who's 60 really give a crap about 8 extra standing regen once they're 60? | ||

Technically it's just 24% less exp required, which won't mean 24% faster. If you full grouped the whole way, it'd only be 4% faster. | |||

So in terms of overall combat performance, an Iksar Monk really outperforms a Human Monk hands down, no questions?

Iksar are meant to be better. It's a sales tool for Kunark.
That said, a human monk will kill things ever so slightly faster while on a corpse run (or otherwise using non-epic fists), and they require much less xp to level. It's not as simple as I'm about to claim, but the xp needed to get a human monk to 60 won't get an iksar past 57. The boni received for being an iksar are kind of overkill and won't stop you from being a good monk. No matter how good an iksar monk is, it will never be good at being a human monk, if that is what you want to play. If you decide on an iksar monk I suggest making sure you download one of the animation fix packs, and also roll a female. | ||
