[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 2756865, member: 710"] Elf is definitely a good choice, especially at low levels for the bow profiency (provided you can afford a bow, that is). At those levels, the major difference between a spellcaster and a warrior are hit points, not attack bonus, so ranged combat is a good idea. I think the only race I would avoid is a race with a charisma penalty (even though I really like the Idea of the Warforged Artillery Platform :) ), all others have their pros and no real cons. One interesting point in case of Eberron: There are a lot of nice feats there that fall outside the standard reportoire - the Dragonmarks feats, the Action Point Feats and so on. To get them, being a Human helps a lot. A Dragonmark feat and/or the Favored in House feat gives a lot of roleplaying oppertunities, and your DM nice hooks for your character. If you're interested in them, I'd defintely consider human (assuming you still want all the other important sorceror feats). Though in case of Dragonmarks, other races give access to interesting Dragonmarks (especially the Halfling houses have some nice options...). Even if you don't go for a Dragonmark now, a Heir of Siberys might later be a nice option.. [/QUOTE]
