Footpad Questions

[Astrikken]

I am intrigued by the Footpad class, but being so new to the game, am hesitant to roll on a class which seems better suited for player killing. Not that I wouldn't mind getting in to that aspect of the game, but my supposition is I would have to do quite a bit of running to get the plats to beef up my character to be competitive.

To that end, if I were to start a Footpad, and lets say I had at least enough plats to get my statistics up to 100's fairly quickly right off the bat, what race would be a good choice? I plan to use the character to do both running (out of necessity) and pk'ing.

Any opinions as to which subclass might be a good choice? I was looking through the options and wasn't certain for a newbie which might be a good choice.

As always, I appreciate everyone's expert advice
