Hey all. I have a friend who is currently getting a half-giant started in a campaign we're playing in. She wanted a race which got a Str bonus, but looked essentially human in appearance, and was 'cute' (meaning, no Cha penalty). No more than a +1 LA, as well. Any suggestions, people? Give me some choices, here!

Wood Elf? Elf = sexy, and it gets Elf stats as well as +2 str, -2 int. Found right in the monster manual, no LA.
Found the following at Crystalkeep's:
Neanderthal (Frostburn): +2 Str +2 Con -2 Dex -2 Int: me Tarzan, you Jane.
Wood elf, as said above (MM): +2 Str +2 Dex -2 Con -2 Int
Lizardfolk (MM): +2 Str +2 Con -2 Int, LA +1
Earth Mephling (Planar Handbook): +2 Str +2 Cha -2 Dex -2 Int, LA +1
Darfellan (Stromwrack): +2 Str -2 Dex
Neanderthal (Frostburn): +2 Str +2 Con -2 Dex -2 Int: me Tarzan, you Jane.
Wood elf, as said above (MM): +2 Str +2 Dex -2 Con -2 Int
Lizardfolk (MM): +2 Str +2 Con -2 Int, LA +1
Earth Mephling (Planar Handbook): +2 Str +2 Cha -2 Dex -2 Int, LA +1
Darfellan (Stromwrack): +2 Str -2 Dex

Wait, I thought Lizard folk had HD as well. You should include ECL as well.

The Darfellan are an interesting choice, but generally are much better suited to aquatic campaigns (hence being in Stormwrack).
Nonetheless, they can function on land, though just not as well as other humanoids.
(And yes, Lizardfolk have racial HD giving ECL 3 IIRC)

I'm confused- what was wrong with the Half-Giant?

Probably the fact that the player wanted a character that looked "essentially human" in appearance.

And "cute" -- the reason I didn't bother suggesting Goliath (though I find them adorable 
).

You might also want to check "Races of Stone." The dream dwarves and whisper gnomes may be something to check out. (also the Stonechild, but that may be too powerful for your campaign)
The dream dwarf is this hippie-earthy-crunchy type that actually gets a bonus to it's CHR.
... maybe even a chaos gnome.
... I've always liked gnolls. Maybe she could fashion it to look like a Husky as opposed to the wild-heyna type.
