Thnx for bothering to replying.

Unless I'm mistaken, 3.5 doesn't have a 'trait' bonus. You should probably change that to 'racial bonus' (although I'm not sure that's an offical bonus type either).


Other than that, I don't see problems with this as a LA+0 race.

Thanks for pointing out the fact that its a "trait bonus" i sort of over looked it, it will probably be renamed to "racial bonus".

In 3.5, this race's benefits would probably merit an LA of +1. Compare the Hobgoblin, which is also +1. Net bonuses to ability scores are one thing 3.5 especially doesn't like to see in an LA +0 race. Natural attacks (with some bonus damage on top) are another thing that's very useful indeed, even in a race that otherwise seems to be made for casters.

That's another concern, though: what character concepts will this race promote (mechanically speaking)? With bonuses to Wis and Cha, it looks like it's made for Clerics or Paladins, but both need good Con to function well... I'm not entirely sure this race has a good 'niche'.

I would like to use it to make a Binder (i have nice rolls for stats). So i will probably remove the +2 Wis, and then bring up the race for the DM.
