It depends on the lore of the game. In old school D&D only Humans could be Paladins. It didn't fit with the lore of the other races. I know High Elves could be Paladins in EQ, but I think the only others were Erudites and Humans. I personally prefer the Paladin class being restricted to humans. It gives them something unique. It seems a bit odd for Elves to be worshipping a religious deity. In most lore, Elves worship nature and gain their magic from it.
Not quite lol. Dwarves, Half-Elves, Halflings, Gnomes, Frogloks (when they were added in LoY), and Drakkin (when they were added in TSS) could also be Paladins in EQ. But you're right, the important thing is to consider the lore of Pantheon. Other games are irrelevant. It must be that Terminus elves do not have an organized religion and therefore do not have Clerics or Paladins. As you said, perhaps they worship nature itself and don't have an actual god. That would make sense.
Azotate said:Alpha is for trying many different combos. I was hoping for another Paladin option, but will lean toward Human. Archai wizard, Halfling druid, and Gnome necro for alts subject to change based on how classes develop.
I totally agree, I can't wait for alpha to open up so I can try all race/combos out. I am very aloof when it comes to characters. I love playing them all as they all have their own uniqueness to them. it takes me forever to reach max level because I end up grouping with a class I'm curious about. So, I make an alt! and learn everything there is to know about that class. Eventually when I am suffenciently knowledged in all the classes I pick the one I like most and play it.
To start though, I will either make a Dark Myr Monk or Ogre Shaman
I'm an Alt-o-holic .. I'll play any/everything, but to start out on pre-alpha day 1, I'm looking at a Halfling Ranger.
Other notables I'll be rolling (in no particular order) is Human Cleric, Ogre Druid, Archai Wizard, and Gnome Enchanter.
Hopefully by the end of testing, I'll know every starting city and how to get to all of them from all of the others as fast as I can to be able to meet up, group up, etc. when release finally hits. This was NOT the case in EQ, and stumbled a lot in the early days trying to travel / meet friends. So I'll try to roll at least one of every race with unique starting points, even if I have to delete toons to make room to do so.

I would say there is some non 0% chance that we are not allowed free run on the class/race combos throughout pre-alpha and alpha (at least in the earliest phases), even amongst the classes VR have officially spoiled. I would guess that much of the early testing phases will see us playing specific class/race/content based on their needs. But we shall see.
On a side note, I approve of your Alex Grey artwork avatar ;)

This makes sense of course. More likely to see it in Beta methinks. But there's nothing wrong with dreaming.

Ahh, indeed. Restrictions notwithstanding.
Obviously if we're lead to certain areas / races / classes they want tested first in early phases, then that's where I (we) will go.
But by the end of all testing, I'm sure I will have tried every class and every race available, which I'm sure will influence my release day decisions far more than seeing this race / class combo chart.
Something warrior. From my understanding warrior doesn't seem like it is going to be as bland here as it was in EQ. I love to play tanks (more so warrior type tanks, unless Paladin is the only tank in X mmo). That being said, my other love is magician type classes. I always loved magician. Everything about it. Not just because people always assumed it was OP (I always felt this was false, just felt it was not as gear reliant), but I love being able to play a job that prioritizing pets. Something relaxing and fun about it. Especially with pet toys.
Ultimately though I'm hoping to become so engrossed into this game I would like to play everything and keep it up to day. We will see how well this actually goes.
Halfling enchanter is almost guaranteed for me, atleast until I get a better idea of what an enchanter in pantheon will be. small hippie punk with illusions/charms/mezzes? that just sounds fun=)

Check that chart again! No Halfling Chanters currently, though that would be a new sight to see. Kinda like the Ogre Druids.

The actual post has a new, revised, chart with a few changes, you should check it out good sir!=)

Where is this revised chart you're referring to? The charts at the tops of both Class/race threads don't show Halfling Enchanter as a choice.
I'm intrigued

I think you may be refering to the chart made by Tehtawd. If so, he just Photoshopped that in there, it's not a real chart.

Exactly, the only Class/Race combo to pay attention to is the official one I included in my OP of this thread :)

LOL. I was frantically searching around the website looking for the updated version and finding none. No wonder. ;D
