PC race with a +2 Cha?

[Lamoni]

I think this has been asked before a while ago, but I didn't pay much attention to the thread and now I can't find it.

My question is... what races are there with a +2 Charisma without any level adjustments? This has to pass my DM's approval so humanoid creatures would be preferable, but definately not required. I would also prefer to have a size of small or smaller.

Any ideas?

Also, before people give me a thousand varieties of elves, I don't really like elves. I don't want to play a dwarf either since I am currently playing one. I love dwarves, but just want a change. Thanks. I am just deciding what other good choices I have when I start a sorcerer next campaign. Nothing has to be core... it just has to be written in a book somewhere so it can be referenced.

From WotC material, I do not know of any (w/o LA that is).

Maybe in AU or other 3rd party publications?

I know of plenty that give a Charisma penalty, but none that give a bonus. Not even the "beutiful" and "graceful" Elves.

That is what I was afraid of.

If only there was a half halfling, half gnome character...
It could have a -2 Str, +2 Cha, gain all the abilities of a gnome except for the bonus to craft checks and all combat related abilities like weapon familiarity, attack bonus vs goblins, and dodge bonus vs giants. Then it could gain the +1 racial bonus on all saving throws from the halfling list. Would this be overpowered? I guess this would just be a house rule so to move back on topic, does anyone else recall anything with a Charisma bonus?

I guess it is also hard to find a bonus to intelligence or wisdom. Maybe they do it on purpose to keep spellcasters from getting out of hand?

Probably. They have done alot (alot more than they needed to, IMHO) to keep spellcasters from getting "out of hand."

Negative on that. Sun Elf, FRCS, +2 Int. No LA.

It is possible though.

I think the easiest option for +cha racial mod is Aasimar, but they have +1 LA

There is also a pretty cool race in OA with +2 Int and +2 Wis and no LA! But no +2 Cha either.

Unapproachable East, and I believe Races of Faerun, list the Star Elf race - a +0 level adjusted race that gets +2 charisma (preferred class Bard), and some other nifty benefits.

And while it's a level-adjusted race, the MM1's Nixie gets a comparatively HUGE charisma boost (+6, IIRC) - along with being amphibious, and having a decent DR (5/cold iron). That DR can really help a spellcaster survive in battle, since not many foes will be wielding cold iron weaponry ...

Hehe, of course it's an elf.
