In Reply to: whats the best race for assassin... posted by smellpyussy on October 7, 2000 at 11:18:39:
Personally Im playing with humans at the moment. Arials were always the obvious choice and my first assassin was of course this. I of course miss perm fly, but im not a rager so I can use potions. I also dont have a big xp penalty, so I dont get many people who are 9 ranks above me handing me my ass, and I can rank easier, and of course, I get slightly more health and have no vulnerabilities, apposed to the arials lots of. In my opinion, none of these three races are really any better or worse than the other, and some may do better in some situations than other. I wont mention drow or half-elf as assassins, I really cant be bothered, I hope this helps.
Whilst I have never played a felar assassin, I can see how they can be good, as a few people have mentioned, backfist with claws can be damn good, and if you plan on being a rager berserker, your goingt to have fun deathblowing the backfists. You also have the most con for an assassin, 23 con must be magnificent, but of course again you get several vulnerabilities and the xp penalty again to deal with.
