If you're going to start a Mino then start the character in Antar.  You
can go to the Mushroom circle to get Mino pendants which dramatically
lower the cost for raising stats.  This can help ALOT.

If you want to start in another guild I'd suggest an half-troll.
People are just starting to run them again.  With their regeneration
ability they're among one of the most unique type of characters in AG.
Add in their recent ability to gain levels in Poison/Disease Resistance
and they're not too bad.  They're stats still suck, and in the long run
this can hamper their developement.
	People normally consider HT's  as an adventuring race.  Because of
regeneration they don't have to worry getting healed up after a fight.
Also with a couple levels of P/D resistance they can go to adventuring
sites/fight creatures that most other types of characters would be at a
big disadvantage against.  Add in good natural protection, decent armor,
and wise regeneration strategy and good HT's (like chili) is hard to put
down, and keeps coming back up when you least expect it. :)
	With a good strategy a HT can also do good in the guild.  As an example
look at Shai'taan and Agmon (79 and 81 win % in guild respectively I
think).  They're both fairly low power level and as time goes on the
high multiple may drag them down to mediocrity (especially if they don't
start adventuring alot), but it shows that a HT can do good in guild and
is a great adventuring race.
	If you wish to run a HT I'd suggest a LOW stamina, max dex and cunning,
and decent strength.  Initial stats around Str 14,Dex 14, Stam 7, Cun
11.  Don't pick a heavy fatigue weapon.  With a 5 str. multiple it's
hard for a HT to wear good armor and use a heavy weapon, especially
early in the characters career.  Better to use a medium fatigue weapon
(say a sword or mace) and still have str. for decent armor.  HT's seem
to have a good natural PF.  Combined with decent armor and it takes ALOT
to drop a HT, especially when the character has low power levels.  If
you can't drop a HT that regenerates quickly you frequently can't drop
them at all.  And remember, if a HT gets regeneration high enough they
can be dropped during a fight and still come back up.  This can make
HT's useful companions in groups.

Later,
		Todd

those 2 confused.
