Character Creation

Enchanters are one of the most forgiving classes when it comes to race selection because of our various illusion spells. Your choices are, ranked in my opinion from best to worst:

Race	Int	Cha	Total	Bonuses	Suggested
Dark Elf	109	70	179	Hide, Ultravision	25 int, 5 cha
Gnome	108	70	178	Wallvision	25 int, 5 cha
High Elf	102	90	192	Infravision	25 int, 5 cha
Erudite	117	80	197		20 int, 5 cha, 5 agi
Human	85	85	170		25 int, 5 cha

High Elves and Erudites tie for the best total intelligence/charisma after the 5 point Erudite agility penalty, and High Elves get infravision. Dark Elves however get Hide which is extremely useful both for breaking charm and for going AFK and in my opinion is worth some stats. Gnomes look the best, get tinkering, and most importantly can see through walls - solo enchanters should in my opinion spend all their time in Gnome illusion. Humans are traditionally the gimp race of Everquest but aren't that bad as enchanters because of their high charisma, with only 8 fewer total points than Gnomes.

Generally speaking it's hard to screw up creation as an enchanter unless you do something silly like putting all your points into stamina. I've heard people make this argument, but considering that 25 points in Stamina is worth 56HP at L60 and considerably gimps your character in the mean time its hard to make this case for Enchanters.
