PC Races with Charisma Bonuses

[Kae'Yoss]

LESSER Aasimar? What, are there GREATER ones, too?

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)

Does this creature, built using official D&D3.5 books, really have those odd (+3) stat bonuses?!?

Yes. But that's because of the aging rules - for each age category you pass, you get +1 on your mental ability scores - in age category4, that's a total of +3 (and a total of -6 to all physical ones)

Except Dragonwrought Kobolds do not take the physical stat penalty.

The "lesser" aasimar is a variant of the regular aasimar that is simply toned down to reduce the LA to 0. It's meant to replace the regular aasimar.

Why not?

Here are all your choices from WOTC published material for +0 LA races that get a bonus to charisma:

Impressive! Thanks for the info.

For what its worth, I hate Star Elves.

There are only a few of them adventuring in Faerun, they know nothing about the Realms and (since their home demiplane or whatever it is has no detail at all in UE) you won't know anything about where they come from.

I'd be amazed if any DM allowed "lesser" planetouched in a standard power level D&D game. They are too powerful for a +0 LA.

Why not?

Because they are considered dragons and not reptilian humanoids.

 

[Zurai]

Why not?

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?

To be fair, Aasimar are on the low side of average for a +1 LA race, and Tieflings are positively terrible.

Dromites from the Expanded Psionics Handbook have +2 Charisma, but they are a +1 LA race.
