I'm not interested in munchkinising the idea - a character with shedloads of cantrips would suit me fine. In the campaign, all characters are going to start at second level using the stat array 10,12,13,14,15,16 allocated to suit. My idea is to play a Duskblade (from PHBII) as Arcane Attunement with INT 16 would give some cool spell-like cantrips, 6/day. That's a good start. Add in the usual spell slots and the Magical Training feat (which I judge is good for another 3 0-level spell slots for a Duskblade as well as Sorcerer/Wizard) from Player's Guide to Faerun to snarf 7 cantrip spell slots, plus 4 1st level slots full of Duskblade spell list goodness.Next it's onto her race, there there I hit a snag. I want Medium-size race with no LA that's got a few more spell-like abilities, usable a couple of times per day. I hit the Races of books, Mythic Races and pretty much every book in my collection searching for such a race. It seems all of the races with spell-likes are either +1LA, or Small (Gnomes, etc). Grrrrr.....I finally find one race though, and it's excellent - the Drallocks from AEG's Mercenaries (Art Director:Jim Pinto. That guy is everywhere, I swear <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ). Picture pale elfin figures wrapped in tight bandages and black hooded shroud, and you're there. They get +2 DEX, -2 CHA, and can cast dancing lights, flare and ghost sound each 1/day, among  with a smattering of other abilities and light vulnerability. I fall in love with the race instantly and they become my favourite non-Drow.That gives me a total of 16 0-level spell slots and spell-like abilities, plus 4 1st level spell slots (Blade of Blood. Mmmmmm.........). She can hold her own in a fight too, which is nice.I conjour up a neato backstory why she's left the Underdark to enter Ptolus, and I'm done.It still leaves the question though - why're there to few medium races with spell-like abilities at +0LA? Any ideas? Or have I missed some in my searches?</blockquote>
