+1/+0 LA races/templates with bonuses to Dex and Wis?

[Scarlet-Devil]

What it says on the tin; can anyone name any (non-homebrew/Dragon)?

Not off rip, but Savage Species Anthropomorphic races would fit the bill. Anthropomorphic bats get like a +4 or +6 to Wis and I think they are a +0LA..and only one monstrous HD for like a total ECL of 1 :P

[Amnestic]

Zenythri (MM2, under 'Planetouched'), +2 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Wis, -2 Cha, 1/Day True Strike SLA, +1 LA.

[Scarlet-Devil]

Zenythri are lovely; I especially like that their actual origins are left in the dark. Would Survival be the 3.5 equivalent of 'Intuit Direction'?

As per the 3.0 -> 3.5 update instructions, yes.

[NeoSeraphi]

The Jermlain (MM II) are an LA +0 race with +6 Dex and +6 Wis, but they have one Racial HD of Fey and are Tiny sized.

[wuwuwu]

The Jermlain (MM II) are an LA +0 race with +6 Dex and +6 Wis, but they have one Racial HD of Fey and are Tiny sized.

Actually, that Racial HD gets replaced by class levels. They also have -8 Str, -2 Con, -2 Int, and -6 charisma.

Assuming Wis and Dex are the ONLY two abilities you need, Jermlaine might be cool?

[NeoSeraphi]

Really? Okay. The rules for making monster PCs in the DMG always confused me.

Anyway, if you're building a monk or a divine caster or something, yes, Jermlaine would be useful (Tiny nets it +8 Hide and +2 Size to AC and Attack rolls, though it loses 5' reach.)

[DeAnno]

If a monster with one HD ever takes a class level, that class level overwrites the original HD (or so I thought) leaving it with 1 ECL of HD. On the other hand if something with 2 monster HD takes a class level, it now has 2 monster HD and one class HD for 3 ECL of HD.

[HunterOfJello]

Empty Vessels (a.k.a. Chosen) from the Eberron Campaign Setting book have -2 str, +2 dex, +2 int, +4 wis, +4 cha. They also have everything a human has and most of the benefits that kalashtar have, minus a psionic spirit inside of them (yet).

They're officially set as a +1 LA race and mostly ignored by players, but probably one of the strongest +1 LA races on the list.

[candycorn]

Jermlaine, with their substantial bonus to wis and dex, make great druids, especially with the Druid Wisdom to AC ACF in the SRD. Swordsage would be a good melee option, especially with Shape Soulmeld, as that can get you a "counts as light armor" with no max dex bonus.

I'd steer away from monk, as it doesn't increase the damage output enough to make a tiny creature worthwhile. Too many size penalties, too much strength penalty.

[Taelas]

In wild shape, that doesn't matter.

[Darcand]

Pathfinder's Tengu (crow people) are one of my favorite races. They have a +2 Dex/Wis, -2 Con, bonuses to stealth and perception, bonus languages, and they gain automatic proficiency with all swords and daggers. 0 LA

it actually isn't; those abilities are just elite array.

[KotserB]

Ive searched for the Zenythri (and found it), but where does it say you get +2 STR/DEX/WIS and -2 CHA?

[Tokuhara]

it actually isn't; those abilities are just elite array.

Eberron books don't follow the same rules as the rest of D&D: The Monsters are all Elite Array-ed, making conversion even more difficult.

Inspired get no ability score modifications, but Psionics and the Quori Spirit

It is +6 to wis for the anthropomorphic bat.

[Metahuman1]

Out of curiosity, what class(s) are you looking at for the race query?

[Tokuhara]

It is +6 to wis for the anthropomorphic bat.

Hence the now-infamous Anthropomorphic Bat Druid 20

[Gotterdammerung]

If you go anthropomorphic bat or germlaine druid, make sure to cast a maximized empowered awaken on a small plant and then make it your cohort and your mount.

10str
12dex
- con
(3d6x 50%) +18 int [22-27] (+2 more with dragon access [24-29])
(3d6x 50%) +18 wis [22-27] (+2 more with dragon access [24-29])
(3d6x 50%) +18 chr [22-27] (+2 more with dragon access [24-29])

Then replace its 1 plant hit die with a class lvl. Then you got a bush cohort mount thats stronger, smarter, wiser, and more charming than you are and you can hide in it while you ride it. :smallsmile:

Or, instead of spending feats, just wear a Gnome Twistcloak from RoS. I think thats what its called. +1 Armor bonus exotic armor with no ACP so you don't take a hit for not having proficiency. The best part, no max Dex.
