I'm thinking about playing an anti-paladin, but I'm not sure which race to pick. I'm trying to figure out how important the 3 stats are to anti-paladins. If everything else was equal, how important is each stat for certain strategies.

How important is intelligence to landing sleep and casting strong iceballs? Could one notice a drow iceball over a human iceball? Is the effectiveness of drow sleep over human sleep noticeable?

How important is having dexterity to the dex-based AP skills? Would I notice the difference between an arial Lashes of the Slave over a human Lashes of the Slave?


I'd like a race which lends itself to landing kills without too much help from equipment. I don't mind playing glass-cannons. I like the idea of int & dex over str & con - but I don't want to make huge sacrifices in survivability if it doesn't result in measurable gains in offense.
