I didn't see one in lists of stuff, does anyone know of one out there? At the moment I'm looking for int, and so far I know of dragon disciple, chameleon, and some of the racial paragon classes.

As an aside, chameleon's stat bonus wouldn't grant skill points, but would grant bonus spells per day, right? In other words, it would work like a headband of intellect.

Uh, War Hulk gives large Str bonuses.

Tattooed Monk can give you temporary stat bonuses based on Charisma. Does temporary count?

Sure, I was just turning over in my head how high an untemplated human could pump their int to get more spells/day, but that would be good for increasing DCs. I'll start compiling this as a list for all stats though.

Should we count Rage and derivatives?

Pale Master gives a +4 to strength from it's Undead Graft. Fiend-Blooded grants you + 1 Charisma, + 1 Dexterity, +1 Intelligence and +1 Constitution, and it's capstone grants you an additional +1 to dex, int and con, and also gives you +2 strength. Walker in the Wastes grants +4 Wisdom, +2 Strength and +2 Charisma from the free Dry Lich Template that is it's capstone. Dread Necromancer grants you +2 Int, +2 Wis and +2 Cha from the lich transformation capstone, at least under some interpretations.

Some prcs grant small stat boosts. Offhand, I can think of fiend blooded (heroes of horror), swift wing (dragon magic) and dragon devotee (races of dragon).

I don't think it would be worthwhile to list them all, I think only the Cityscape one will get special attention here. If there are any that give mental stat bumps those could go in.

Crystal Master can get everything at a +3, depending on crystals used. (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20040625d)

Most of the paragon give out boosts.

Also,

heart warder, dragon devotee, and green star adept

Disciple of Arsharelon (sp?) from the Dracanomicon eventually gets the half fiend template, with all the bonuses that entails. It's dragon-only, though. Altough, a full-classed dragon disciple might be able to qualify.

Or a dragonwrought kobold, though with a prereq of +18bab, this is going to stretch way into epic.

Also, while not technically a class, the kobold fighter ACF (races of dragon) grants +2str/con, partially offsetting the kobold's racial physical stat penalties.

Thrall of Malchantent gives temporary charisma. Disciple of Baalzebul gives +4 inherent bonus to charisma.

Doomlord (Planar Handbook) gives permanent CHA or CON bonuses. Fatemaker (also Planar Handbook) gives permanent CHA bonuses.

Warchief (Miniatures Handbook) gives permanent CHA boosts.

Primeval (Frostburn) gets permanent STR/DEX/CON/WIS boosts (but permanent INT/CHA penalties), and if you count Primeval Form, they get temporary ones as well.

To the OP, I think your list is a little unwieldy to refer to. May I recommend simply listing all the prcs in alphabetical order, with the stat boosts beside them?

Also, thrall of kotschuchie in dragon 345 (or whatever that frost giant demon lord is called) makes you large and grants the appropriate physical stat adjustments.

Something like this?

Orc Paragon|Str|UA/SRD|No
Elf Paragon|Int|UA/SRD|No
Human Paragon|Any|UA/SRD|No

Yeah, the formatting is very tentative. I'm on the fence about a few things, but it'll look prettier when I table it if nothing else.

Dragon Disciples also get a +2 to Int at level 8.

Aboleth Savant, (LoM pg. 21) can add +2 int/wis/cha twice.

Acolyte of the skin (complete arcane) adds +2 to dex and int or cha, IIRC.

Warrior of Darkness (BoVD) has the potential to provide a permanet +1 inherent bonus to either Str, Dex or Con, and the same for Int, Wis and Cha.

Warmind provides an delicous temporary +2 and later +4 insight bonus on Str and Con.

You added some of the ones I mentioned, but you forgot Doomlord (PlH).

Acolyte of the Ego (ToM) can get temporary (insight) bonuses to STR, DEX, and CON.

Dragon Disciple does NOT get a Cha increase, only Str, Con, and Int.

Thrall of Malcanthet is from Dragon 353. It gets a +2 Cha at 5th and 10th level for a total of +4. Also at 10th level it can assume the form of a succubus to gain a +2 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Con, +6 Int, +4 Wis, +16 Cha (amongst other things.)

To be fair, Meditant just improves the bonuses Psychic Meditation grants.

Thrall of Malchantent gives temporary charisma. Disciple of Baalzebul gives +4 inherent bonus to charisma.

Thrall gives permant bonus. At least nothing in the wording indicates otherwise.
