EQ2 Game Data
That site shows you all the traits for each race. Race isn't that important really- you'll get a few different tricks but it won't make a gigantic change. Mine is an Arasai but I also know ones that are Human, Fae, Ogre, Half elf, High elf, Barbarian... etc.
Remember that picking a good aligned race (such as a Wood elf, which do make good healers) will mean that you have to start out as a Templar and then go through the exile/faction process.
