PC race with a +2 Cha?

[Pax]

So go with the Nixie. +2 level adjustment, yes ... but +6 (!!) charisma and a useful DR.

 

[Hardhead]

Hehe, of course it's an elf.

Thanee

You can never have enough elven subraces.

Actually, you can. And I think we crossed that point when the original FRCS came out. But that's just me.

 

[Michael Tree]

One of the Nezumi (ratling) sub-races in the Rokugan setting has a +2 Charisma.

Aside from that and the Star Elf, I can't think of anything.

I believe the point would have been with Races of Faerun my friend

FR Elves
Avariel
Aquatic Elf
Drow
Moon Elf
Star Elf
Sun Elf
Wild Elf
Wood Elf

Eight too many? Then again, there's the FR dwarves:

Arctic Dwarf
Gold Dwarf
Gray Dwarf
Jungle Dwarf
Shield Dwarf
Urdunnir
Wild Dwarf

Oh and to contribute somehting useful and meaningful to the thread: I believe you want Cansin (+2 Cha) or Deathtouched (+4 Cha & +1 LA). Unfortunately both may only be found in Dragon Mag, an "official" D&D source but always check with DM first as the stuff in there balance-wise is always hit & miss.

LA 0 race: Forest Gnome from the Kalamar Players Guide. -2 str, +2 Wis and Cha.

the game designers and playtesters were a bunch of min/maxers and they used Cha as a dump stat. so they didn't think any race should gain a benefit from it.

Nope. In the PHB, they tried to have no race with a racial bonus in a mental attribute. Good idea if you ask me. Then there was the dwarf and the halforc, traditionally mentally disadvantaged...

Later, the minmaxxing started.

 

[Stormborn]

You would think there would be, wouldn't you?
Perhaps simply ask the DM if you can add a +2 CHA, -2 WIS to a sub race of particularly friendly but impetuous halflings.
It shouldn't upset the balance of the race.

That is very tempting... but the reason why I wanted a +0 level adjustment is for the spell progression. If I played a Nixie, I'd only be able to cast level 4 spells when I'm level 11 while the party wizard would be casting level 6 spells. Having a higher charisma would help them not make their saves, but I still think it would be more useful to have the higher spell slots.

I also think it would be fun to play a character with very low hit points. I keep thinking of the Brownies from Willow. A brownie sorcerer would be hard to hit, but if you could step on him/her, they would be dead. That is why there is a cleric in the party with raise dead.
