  If EQ 2 holds to the Original game mechanics, HP's are controlled by the amount of Stamina you put into your character. I never followed the game norm of following what the Uber players say your character should be made like. In the original EQ, I made my first character the way "I" liked it and it wound up kicking NPC arse in some situations that took groups of Uber Players to accomplish the same.

  If you havn't done so already you need to look at the race/class descriptions on the EQ2 home website.  There they give some indication of what is a good race/class combo, also the stats are shown; however, these are subject to change as they have already done a couple times in the last 6 months.

  Depending on class.  Mages typically require higher INT to  have a larger mana pool. Races like Erudite would fit this category.  Priests typically require higher WIS to have a larger mana pool.  High Elf and Dwarfs fit this category.   BUT in game there are stat modifier items that you can wear to change and increase certain stats as you see fit.

  You will notice that EQ2 has really leveled the playing field with respect to starting stats so it is a little harder to choose the best Race/Stat/Class combo.

  I completly agree with you Joanaho, but when playing FF XI I did notice that my Elvaan Summoner did incounter a few problems. I was never one to care as much about specific spell stats (INT, MND, Wisdom) because I could always boost them with food or accessories, but when it came to my MP pool, I always felt like I wasn't able to pull my true weight as a summoner. I loved the job, but I always wished that I played as a race that allowed me a little more MP. For EQ2 I just want to make sure that I pick a race that I not only enjoy, but also has a littl boost in the mana pool department, so that I can be the best Conjurer I can be.

  In EQ1 erudites would start with a higher base int, then humans but with items you could raise that to match anyway. but with everquest they normally have a higher int stat and lower str plus stam.

  But current NDA is stopping players and websites posting the stats that are set for now.

  EQ2 is a little different than EQ1 for hybrids (paladin, sk, ranger, etc.) in that their "power" or what we consider "mana" is dictated by a combination of STR and WIS, not just WIS alone. and also in this game SK mana/power is based on wisdom as well, not intelligence like EQ1.
