I don't know much for troubadors to be honest, but really race doesn't make a huge difference in eq2. IF you really want to get down to the nitty gritty I would venture to say being a scout class that AGI is important to them? If so you might go with a race with a AGI bonus (think wood elves and frogloks have good starting agility. Ratongas I think have good AGI, but you would have to betray to be a troubador I imagine). But once again it doens't make or break you. I have a ogre necro for instance and obviously OGres don't start with a heeping amount of INT.
I like the more unique charactors like the Ogre Paladins (shadowknight who betrayed), Troll singer's, etc. There is more then enough Barbarian guardians, but how many Ogre Paladins are there?
