I'm playing a high charisma character and I want it to be even higher. Is there a race I could use with no level adjustment or +1 or whatever, that has a cha bonus. I would prefer one with no level adjustment, but whatever works.

Star Elves (Races of Faerun?) and Spellscales (Races of the Dragon) come to mind.

Lesser Aasmair(sp) from PGtF.

Bonus WIS and CHA for a +0 Level adjustment

I figured he wanted one that wasn't unbalanced or broken, which is why I didn't mention that or a Venerable Dragonwraught Kobold. :D

Thanks, I'll probably go with spellscale as it fits the flavor of the character! That's about it...

lol, most people looking for mental boost templates/races generally want it for the pure efficency so i desided to go straight for the finish line :)

And its not exactly broken. The OP might jsut be making an unusual Barbarian :confused: :D

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

Star Elf: +2 Cha -2 Con, medium, 30 ft., otherworldly touch (su), extraplanar (su), bard, humanoid (elf), unapproachable east pg.10

Spellscale: +2 Cha -2 Con, medium, 30 ft., sorcerer and same as base creature, humanoid (dragonblood), races of the dragon pg.21

Hellbred (Spirit): +2 Cha -2 Con, medium, 30 ft, hellbound (su), spirit (su), paladin, humanoid (hellbred), Fiendish Codex II pg.78

Lesser Aasimar: +2 Wis +2 Cha, medium, 30 ft., light (sp), paladin, humanoid (planetouched), player’s guide to faerun pg.191

Venerable Dragonwrought Kobold: -4 Str +2 Dex -2 Con +3 Int +3 Wis +3 Cha, small, 30 ft., sorcerer, dragon (kobold, reptilian, dragonblood), monter manual pg.161 and races of the dragon pg. 39

You can also add the Dragonborn of Bahamut pseudo-template without level adjustment to any of the races with a bonus to cha (beside the venerable dragonwrought kobold) and gain +2 con -2 dex, which stacks with your original ability adjustments. That may be helpful for a lot of these.

Dragonborn: +2 Con -2 Dex, same as base creature, same as base creature, fighter and the base creatures, humanoid (dragonblood, same as base creature), races of the dragon pg.5

Other than that, you can just increase your age level and suffer the physical ability score penalties.

+1LA gets you Catfolk, and with LA buyoff the +1 is negligible. You gain +2 CHA +4DEX and +10 move speed.

Huh? If your talking about the Cat Burglar, that's a class, not a race. Catfolk also are able to get Catfolk pounce, which is an awesome feat.

I'm currently playing a Catfolk Dread Pirate.....it's hilarious.
