We are about to start a new game in the dragonlance setting and I am want to play an antihero concept like Conan, Riddick, Jack Sparrow or Snake Plissken. What good class/race combos to develop anti-heroes? No Humans or ECL please.

Not mine, but another player in my group (albeit as a Duergar, so he uses poisons all day long w/o buying the Poison Use feat :P)

Focus on Merc jobs, always look for the risk vs. profit for any adventure and use every dirty trick available to your advantage. Play up the low Cha, and be as mean as possible. Spiked chains and imp. trip/disarm work well with this, bringing down enemies for brutal kills.

Dread Necromancer (any race that will at least not penalize your Cha) any alignment.

You don't dabble in Necromancy, you live it. It's a scary thing for others to see, most people will assume you're a villain... Use that to your advantage.

Bards make great jack sparrows and han solos
Shwasbucklers have pirate all over them
Barbarians and fighters make great hatefull killers
Ninjas and assasins? antiheroes
Humans are the most corruptable of the core races
Psions may be discriminated, and therefore hatefull

In Dragonlance? The class/race doesn't so much matter as the fact that you should be further advocating the seperation of the races. I.E. "Elves need to make do on their own. We can not rely upon humans or dwarves as we have in the past. We must make a place for ourselves in the new world and let the others find their own way." As for antihero race/classes there are plenty of options. Half-elves and rouges typically are the best to start off with and build up from there.
