Is there a race that will give you a plus to Charisma?

[Trainz]

Umm. Hill giants. Charisma 17, according to my MM. What's that? A +6 Charisma bonus? Make a great bard.

Oh this is SO funny. I never noticed that.

The thing is, my current campaign has as it's main critter, yup, hill giants (the PC's butchered 12 in this week's game and they will attack a hill giant outpost in next game's...).

So, for and giggles, I will roleplay those beasts as very eloquent and charming until my players start thinking I'm too weird, at which point I will point them to the MM and act innocently...

Star Elves from Aglarond. -2 con +2 cha.

Can you tell im reading the unapproachable east at the moment?

uh.. least I think they get a +2cha. They may not.. I'm lazy right now.

Kalamar PG has some subraces with ECL 0.

What about a GHOUL ?

In a Dragon issue there are chaotic and lawful plane-touched race templates to balance the good and evil ones (aasimar/ not celestial). I believe the chaotic race has a +2 CHA with a favored of sorceror. ECL+1 like the aasimar.
In a different issue of Draogn there is a Draconic template/race (have dragon as a farther ancestor than half-dragon) it is reprinted in the current Dragon as well. It has a bonus to CHA I think.

 

[Grishnak]

Ogre Mades get a cha modifier as do half dragons if I recall correctly.

I created basically a sub human race that I haven't named yet, but have released has OGC. I used RaceCalc to balance this out againist the other races and has no ECL.

I'll leave out the flavor text and give you the crunchies!

They get all the human benefits except as noted below.
Stats:
+2 Wis
+2 Cha
Feat: as human
Favored : as human
No extra skill points
Low light vision

If you don't like the two stat bonuses without a corresponding penaltiy then I recommend using -2 to Con.

As it is it plays well and fits in, well at least in my games it does. I'll admit it does help out a Wis or Cha based caster out slightly

So you are trading one skill for low light vision, +2 wis and +2 cha.

Seems a touch (Hell, a lot) over generous to me.

In my campaign you can take the following feat at first level:

"Fairer Sex" (Trait)
You come from a culture that emphasizes the feminine graces.
Prerequisite: Your character must be female.
Benifit: Your character has a +2 bonus to Charisma and Wisdom, but a -4 penalty to Strength.
