Do not do what I did and make a dark elf anti paladin as your first character :)
My first 'successful' character was a human thief - no exp penalty, hide and sneak to help evade pk's, able to tank in a pinch, and good fighter with someone else tanking.
Lately, I have found grouping to be a pain in the ass (you have to find someone of similiar alignment and cabal views while avoiding the dinks that like to jump groupmates), so I tend to get frustrated with mage types before I play them into their power.
Empowerment for communers has grown to be such a pain in the ass that, even though I like the classes, I don't even bother anymore. Hell, the last time I tried a communer, I was talking to Bria at her shrine and she was furious at me because I had looked at the help files for another imm (which I had done because of a title I saw, not because I was thinking of following that imm). Love and mercy indeed :P
Good luck.
