Need suggestions on a non-standard PC race...

[RigaMortus]

Grrr, damn boards erased my entire post %#$@#$@#$

So I'll make this one short and sweet.

Using Point-Buy system of 32 points...

Want to make a Wizard Class, starting at level 7 (I am gonna base this off of one of the smackdown templates I saw).

What I need is a non-standard race (can be a monster race) with a +2 or better bonus to Intelligence.

If the race has any negatives to ability scores, that is bad, although I can work with maybe a -2 in one ability score.

Of course the more pluses to ability scores, the better. But Intel is the main one I am concerned about.

Race can not be evil-aligned.

The ECL of the race can not exceed +1 ECL.

As of right now I am looking to be a Sun Elf, would rather be something a little more unique and with more then a +2 to Int.

Thx, hopefully this post makes it through.

Try a Vanara from Oriental Adventures.

+2 Int, +2 Wis, -2 Str.

I don't think there are any creatures that give a decent Int bonus that don't also have a high ECL.

No evil-aligned races?
I suppose that rules out tieflings, even though they are not always evil.
Otherwise the +2 Int, +2 Dex and -2 Cha is rather good for a Wiz.

What about an air genasi (+2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Wis, -2 Cha) or a fire genasi (+2 Int, -2 cha), both ECL +1?

And if you don't like evil, figure this: if you take one of the above and make him Good, he'll stand out like beacon if somebody casts Detect Good at you, as good outsiders count each level for their aura, as opposed to normal mortals one-fifth!
When you're 11th you can even stun Detecters of half your level
