Default Starting Race Poll

I’m considering restarting on Project 1999 (I had some sub-35 characters here previously, but they’re gone now). To that end, I’m going make 3 characters of the “same” race, according to the following rules:

One tank: Prefer Paladin or Shadow Knight over Warrior if available. If Paladin or Shadow Knight are available, prefer Shadow Knight if also picking Cleric.

One priest: Prefer Druid or Shaman over Cleric (mostly to balance the number of each)

One enchanter: Maintains racial form (with illusion) as often as is reasonable. (My main on live was an enchanter)

The breakdown is as follows:

Barbarian - Warrior, Shaman, Enchanter
Dark Elf - Shadow Knight, Cleric, Enchanter
Dwarf - Paladin, Cleric, Enchanter
Erudite - Shadow Knight, Cleric, Enchanter
Gnome - Warrior, Cleric, Enchanter
Half Elf - Paladin, Druid, Enchanter
Halfling - Warrior, Druid, Enchanter
Iksar - Shadow Knight, Shaman, Enchanter
High Elf - Paladin, Cleric, Enchanter
Human - Paladin, Druid, Enchanter
Ogre - Shadow Knight, Shaman, Enchanter
Troll - Shadow Knight, Shaman, Enchanter
Wood Elf - Warrior, Druid, Enchanter

I was originally going to roll a die and go with that, but I thought a poll might be interesting. Given these completely arbitrary rules, what would you pick and why?

Why do they need to be the same race?

Troll/ogre SK, shaman and enchanter in illusion form?

I can't see how else to do it without using humans.

Interesting idea.

It's a self-imposed rule that I felt like adding.

That's the idea. (I edited the top post to make it slightly clearer)

Voted dark elf for fashionquest.


Only reason I asked is because it made it sound like you were considering boxing.

Sounded that way to me too. Keep in mind that boxing is against the rules Op and you will lose all your stuffs when you get caught if you do it :/

That said, I vote human for fun ^^

Boxing was never the intention.

I recently did the Four Job Fiesta (an FFV challenge run) and found the game more fun that way, so I'm trying arbitrary constraints here.
