Gnome elementalists are pretty easy to play, especially if they're born under salamander. If you dont mind scumming for gems and stone giants you can get some pretty damn good strength and learning stats pretty early on (if you can find a pick axe that is) and even better stats if you can find some herbs.

I second, and for best results Dark Elf! Only drawback IMO is shop prices in dwarftown and only a minor nuisance in the early/mid game. Now open HMW from start and its pretty much settled. As for starsings i'd choose cup over candle, because beastfighters get more powerful with xp and they have easy time increasing their awesome skills if cup-born. Only skills they're really missing is archery and food pres and i think they don't really need those (i meleed all the bosses to death with ease )
