PC Races with Charisma Bonuses

[irdeggman]

The lesser part means that it gives away its LA and instead gets another penalty. -1 to most rolls I think it is (I prefer the "monster class" approach where you only get some of your abilities until you get all the levels of your race (basically acquiring monster HD and LA)

Nope. The become humanoid (planetouched) and not outsiders. They are subject to anything that affects humanoids and outsiders.

The rules for the "lesser" races on Player's Guide to Faerun specifically state that they should be used instead of the normal races. That is there should not be lesser drow and the drow from the MM in existance at the same time.

It is a means of having a non-LA race.

Because the entry for Dragonwrought Kobolds in the Kobolds section of Races of the Dragon specifically says they don't suffer the physical penalties but still accrue mental bonuses?

So they're setting those Kobolds up to become 4e's dwarves?

Are there any of those adventuring that are not the highest age category?

I think the greater ones are the Isaac Aasimars.

Well, it does cost your first-level feat (Dragonwrought is a feat, not a chooseable race). And Great Wyrm Dragonwrought Kobolds only have, on average, about 5-10 years left to live.

But yeah, it is kind of a no-brainer.

Catfolk - +4 DEX, +2 CHA, +1LA

A feat that gives you +9 worth of stat adjustments? No one would ever take that if they could have Toughness instead!

And Great Wyrm Dragonwrought Kobolds only have, on average, about 5-10 years left to live.

That's about 5-10 average campaigns. More than enough time to amass a ton of treasure and become a dracolich.

 

[Nazerel]

Draconic template gives a +2 Str, +2 Con, +2 Cha bonus, +1 LA (one of the better +1 LA templates)

Fire-Souled template (from Dragon magazine) gives a +4 Cha and the Leadership feat (I believe that one is a +3 LA).

 

[BiggusGeekus]

I believe the Drow in Forgotten Realms are +2 Cha, -2 Con, +2 Int, +2 Cha w/ LA +2

Yep. No WIS bonus, a CON penalty, and a preferred class of cleric. This is why drow always lose.

 

[Kae'Yoss]

and a preferred class of cleric.

Only the chicks. Even their game mechanics are sexist.

 

[Moon-Lancer]

Sun Elves (maybe) from Forgotten Realms. I dunno, some kinda FR elf has a +2 Cha, -2 Con.

They've got elves for every stat combination in that setting.

-TRRW

thats not exactly true. most elves take -con. and i don't their is are any la0 elves that get a +wisdom.
