Best race for a psion with little or no LA?

[Squnk]

I've recently been playing/tryinging a verity of new characters and wanted to try my hand at a psion with a focus on mind control. Recently I have been trying my hand at many new races and classes to find my comfort zone and niche as a player, so also any helpful hints or advice in that as well would be helpful?

But like I said I'm hoping to find a race with little or no LA. And thanks for your help.

There's also Fire Elf, but I figure if you're doing Telepathy you'd rather have -2 strength than -2 charisma.

Human and Elan are always popular choices is you don't care about an int boost. Whisper Gnome (Races of Stone) and Forest Gnome are just generally nice races for caster types.

Warforged (Eberron Campaign Setting or Monster Manual III) would probably be a pretty crazy psion race.

I'll second Elan. There natural abilities come in handy quite a bit.

• Resistance (Su): Elans can use psionic energy to increase their resistance to various forms of attack. As an immediate action, an elan can spend 1 power point to gain a +4 racial bonus on saving throws until the beginning of her next action.
• Resilience (Su): When an elan takes damage, she can spend power points to reduce its severity. As an immediate action, she can reduce the damage she is about to take by 2 hit points for every 1 power point she spends.
• Repletion (Su): An elan can sustain her body without need of food or water. If she spends 1 power point, an elan does not need to eat or drink for 24 hours.

If your a Psion you should have plenty of PP to spare on these abilities too

Kalashtar (from Eberron Campagin Setting) is pretty good.

No ability bonuses but they get +1 pp/per character level and in Races of Eberron there are some pretty good racial substitution levels for a psion (telepath).

Sorry I wasn't specific but I did mean for a telepath
