I've already asked for help with this and got a lot of much needed feedback here. I have this player that wants to play a Swiftblade that fuses with another creature using a dorje of fusion engraved on his belt. His character will probably be ECL 9 and I can't think of a way to get his fusion-companion.

First and foremost, I just noticed Fusion requires a creature of the same type. That requires me to get him a weird typing; preferably low LA. There are already THREE outsiders in my group, so I kind of don't want more. My world is kinda tight on races, also (only azurin, human, elves, dwarves, xephs, half-elves, orcs and goblinoids are commum; hengeyokai, half-orcs and tieflings do exist but are arare, assimar are super rare, githyanki/githzerai exist but rarely come to the material plane, elans exist but are usually used as mindless soldiers), but I guess I must make exceptions for this guy.

I thought of dragon cohort, but then he would be fusing with wyrmlings and gaining very little on return. I thought of a summoning effect to get him something to fuse with, but also can't find it. I throught of a familiar or exalted companion, but I don't know how to get him magical beast type.

So what I need help with is
a) ways to get non-humanoid type that are LA+0 or low LA
b) forms to fuse with of the same type (if it's Tiny it's better, for flavor)

That depends. Are you looking for templates or a starting race?

You can take a peek into the Savage Species book for a lot of monster progressions that start a character out without LA and as a DM you can rule that the character doesn't have to proceed with the progression. Same with the Libris Mortis.

I don't want to make exceptions for a single character, no player likes that kind of thing. I could check the tempaltes from save species, though, good idea.

I gave all my ideas on BG .

I really, really like the aberation idea for Elans, though... Elan + Choker = w1n.

I think you meant 15-20 instead of 5-20

A killoren (a +0 fey from Races of the Wild) could fuse with pixies, grigs, brownies, etc. Pixies in particular have some nice abilities.

But isn't this a bit of an expensive trick for an ECL 9 character (the equivalent of 1800 gp for each charge of the dorje)?

There is a feat in Eberron that allows you to burn action points insteado of charges, I'm going for that.

After a lot of consideration, I'm going with a killoren fusing with a wendigo. Thanks a lot for the help, guys.
