As I said they all interest me... :lol: but if I must cherry pick:
Sykei
Karyai
Ameploi
See now, I was 90% sure you were setting that up to be a pun and were going to say Kraneiai, but you let me down :D

OK then, even more nymphs (because you can never have too many nymphs):

[SBLOCK]
Sykei:
+2 Dex, -2 Int, +2 Wis, +4 Cha
Friendly and full of energy, the Sykei enjoy socialising with other nymphs and different sorts of people. Like most Dryads, Sykei who take levels in Nymph can gain a Treestride ability, and they receive symbiosis from contact with fig trees, often chatting good-naturedly with friends under the fig tree's shade. Sykei often have dark violet, nearly black, hair, although red is not unknown, and their eyes tend to be either dark or a mellow pink.

Karyai:
-2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Int, +2 Wis, +4 Cha
The Karyai are coy, alluring nymphs who thrive on passion. Karyai who take levels in Nymph can gain an Attraction ability, which allows them to influence other more easily, and they receive symbiosis from contact with hazelnut trees or by lounging on large piles of the nuts themselves, often good friends with the curious squirrels who enjoy munching on the hazelnuts occassionally. Karyai usually have rich creamy brown hair, the colour of a healthy hazelnut, and their eyes tend to brown or green. If they were to meet humans, this would make them somewhat easier to disguise as such.

Ameploi:
-2 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Int, +4 Cha
The nymphs of the grape vine enjoy new experiences and guiding others towards such, often using their effusive charm to lower their companions' inhibitions. Some would call them reckless, but their search for new pleasures often keeps them well-informed. Ameploi who take levels in Nymph gain a Wisdom draining ability, much like the Siren's Intelligence-draining touch, which they use to lower the inhibitions of others who are too much of a stick-in-the-mud for the Ameploi's taste, and they receive symbiosis from entwining themselves among the vines of the grape plant. Although they do not need to eat, Ameploi enjoy having grapes placed in their mouth while they lie in comfort, savouring the delicious taste and gathering the seeds to help nw vines grow. Ameploi tend to have hair and eyes of various striking shades of violet, red-violet, and green.

K, just be careful of: +8 STR -2 DEX +4 CON -4 INT -2 WIS -4 CHA
And they also have Light Sensitivity. But they do get Twice their Con bonus to HP at level one, during their Giant level before they can take Berserker.

Sweet. Sign me up for that! :)

RA, are you going to do the Kraneiai for me? :)
Oh, I thought that your request for Kraneiai was just to follow-up on my pun ploy ;)

[SBLOCK]
Kraneiai:
-2 Str, +2 Dex, +6 Cha
Kraneiai are kind and compassionate, and the typical Kraneia is known for her good-natured ability to make friends with anyone, even those to whose goals she is mortally opposed, always willing to forgive and forget past transgressions and allow people to start anew. Even enemies feel hesitant about attacking a blithe and seemingly-naive Kraneia, so those who take levels in Nymph can gain the ability to give those striking them a morale penalty to attack and damage. They receive symbiosis from contact with cherry trees, and they are always delighted to show a new friend the beautiful rebirth of the cherry trees in the spring. Kraneiai have hair that tends to fall within the range of white to delicate pink to bright red, and their eyes are most commonly a friendly bright-pink.
[/SBLOCK]

For Eldritch Infiltrator, think a Sorcerer who has all the Rogue abilities and has sneaky Ex abilities to mask the magic auras of their magic against Detect Magic (Ex because that way you can't detect the ability, of course :) ) and pretend that they are casting their spells as if they were some other class (for deep cover as another spellcasting class) and such.

Alright, I don't think there's anything to complain about them (apart from not having full BAB, good Fort save, d10 HD, bonus feats and divine spells, that is :p).

No, really, that sounds pretty perfect for me. :D

Dolathi Eldritch Infiltrator it is, then.

Bye
Thanee

Heh, if you wanted that, you could be a Praetorian Templar :p

Excellent! :) Expect a write-up on the class from me eventually then.

I'm worried my description of the Dolathi racial stat bonuses is confusing, so I can also go over that again if you desire. And a Dolathi cultural note: Dolathi have names that are intangible nouns, like Foresight (the playtest Dolathi Eldritch Infiltrator), Truth, Arrogance, etc. Urbane and well-connected, the Dolathi know far more about Spelljamming than most of the other races and it is they who created a tentative alliance between the known worlds. The Dolathi began by sending Eldritch Infiltrators to prospective worlds to collect intelligence, before deciding whether to accept them as allies. Not all Dolathi are fully affiliated with the Archduke and connected to all of his elaborate political schemes that span the multiverse, however. Some are free-spirits who live to enjoy themselves and spend their time exploring pleasures in many different shapes.
