Custom subrace

[CRGreathouse]

Ok, so we have good stat bonuses, a more powerful saving throw bonus, a free class skill, good skill bonuses, and a spell-like ability. Is there anything that every single grey elf would be able to do? Perhaps something they are known for, something not exclusively useful to spell-casters, but not overpowered either.

My Suggestions: Obscuring Mist (lvl 1), Fog Cloud, (lvl 2), Change Self (lvl 1), Alter Self (lvl 2), Comprehend Languages (lvl 1), Detect Thoughts (lvl 2)

None of those spell-like abilities fit my concept of the race -- and they don't seem to help fighters/rangers/et. al.

What about true strike 1/day? The idea of a brief flash of insight into the future seems to fit with the race, and it would be of primary use for fighter-types.

True Strike could definitely work. I was thiking about another thing that may better draw in the other classes, Natural Dodge +1 - stacks with other Dodge bonuses, provides a constant +1 AC bonus while you have your dex modifier. Sortof like natural armor, but more elven.
