[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5140923, member: 35909"] Do you have MM3? If you really want to be a fairy type creature and a sorcerer, look at the Petal on p.120. Gives you flight with good maneuvering and size tiny (nice for a caster), along with DR and some other weak racial features. The issue with Petal is that they never really gave it a true write up as a character. In other words, the bonus stats. It's listed as "LA +2 (cohort)." Now, if it had base scores of 10 or 11 in all of its abilities, Petal is stupid broken for LA +2 and 1 HD. But that's...cohort LA. You could ask the DM to work out a "Petals as a PC race" houserule. Judging by the listed ability scores, it clearly should have a high cha and dex bonus and a large str penalty (I assume much of the dex and str adjustment is solely from being size tiny), and maybe a small boost in con and int. In your interest would be getting him to allow you to replace the racial HD with your sorc levels, if possible. [sblock] Maybe...-6 str, +6 dex, +4 cha, +2 int, +2 con? Not sure if, along with racial features that's too good for LA +2 and 1 racial HD. But...playing a spellcaster with a racial ECL is already underpowered.... [/sblock] It's a pretty strong race that seems no less suited to work as a PC than a Pixie, so just thought I'd mention it. EDIT: Any monster race can replace their single HD with a class level if all they have is the 1 racial HD.
