If you want to level fast, make an Elven Paladin who intends to join the Hammer or a Tribunal.
Max Charisma, you can heal/refresh/cure blind/frenzy yourself and use 2-handed swords/spears. You get BoG for leveling eventually.
Note that (elven) paladins suck aside from leveling quickly.
Aside from that, everything levels fast, if you feel like maxing your charisma.
I don't know what you're talking about. Elf paladins are tough. It's the quality of the player and their knowledge of game mechanics that makes the class/race combo work. A little preparation to cover up your character's weak points will go a long way in making your character tougher.
Bolt of glory is also terrible for leveling unless you do some work to trap a NPC in a room with no exits. It's more effort than it's worth though.
I don't think anybody can give an answer to this. Most certainly a white aura character would get bigger xp yields because of the better bonus for killing dark aura NPCs, but every class has different xp requirements. I don't know the xp requirements (nor do I care to know), but I will give some advice.
Killing NPCs that are opposite aura gives an xp bonus, grouping up gives an xp bonus. Familiarity can give an xp bonus, and having high charisma grants a bonus. XPs are rewarded based on the amount of damage your character does to a NPC so it's your job to figure out how to steal the most amount of xps from your group mates while having them preserve your bonus to area familiarity.
Elf gets the highest charisma so whatever classes an elf would be would get the highest xp yields out of anything.
