I'm working on a Level 9 Rogue/Level 1 Master Harper and I'm trying to find what would be the best Race. It seems that all of the races which give me a Charisma bonus have a Level Adjustment.

Any help?

best race for rogues?
I can think of a few off the top of my head...
(Not in any particular order)

Halflings
Gnomes
Dwarves
Elves
Half Elves
Humans
Tieflings
Air Genasi
Fire Genasi
Humans (of course, are always an excellent choice)

I always say...
When in doubt, go human.
Humans are an excellent choice for any class.

Don't forget about goblins, theyre kinda unconventional, but they get +4 racial to move silently, +2 dex, and theyre small and can move 30 ft.

Well i don' t know what the master harper is but the race of the rogue can depend greatly on the intent for your rogue. Thug, Merc, Pick POcket, Robber, etc, etc, etc

I've always been partial to Halfling or Elven rogues. Elves get proficiency with the Longbow (which is a more common magic weapon than the shortbow IMX) and that Secret Doors ability, and Halflings are small (+ to Hide and AC) and get that save bonus.

And did I mention that both races are really cool? :D
