Hi Cyrin, and welcome to Vanguard Fighters!
One of my tank characters in the original EQ was a half-elf pally... and I always wondered how much that extra mana pool would have helped had I made a high elf
And thanks for the nice comment about the site. The majority of the credit goes to Lightning. We recently switched over from a HTML site that I had designed and without Lightning working like a rabid gnome engineer we never could have made the switch to our current setup
I'm definitely happy with the way the site looks now, but what really makes the site is the community we have on the boards - lots of great people around here.
