Question about player race

[NathanB1486]

I'm starting up a 3.5 RHoD game using sainthearts guide, I have a player that wants to roll a warlock, starting at lvl 5, but for his race he wants to be a tiny doll, like a animated object, or tiny construct or something, I can find the basic templates for animated objects, but nothing on using it as a player race, or the lvl adjustment it would have attached to it, does anyone have any advice on how we can pull this off, any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are a DM so there are some more options (DM fiat/houseruling) that are availble.

Well I would start with Warforged (Eberron Campaign Setting: Medium sized, LA 0, PC friendly, Construct).
Modify it with the Dungeonbred template (Dungeonscape, does not allow constructs but you could handwave this, -1 size, no mention of LA, Worth at most +1 LA)

Wear a Ring of Reduction (Lords of Madness, 20Kgp, Continuous Reduce Person that works for any intelligent creature including non humanoids)

Total: Tiny Sized Construct using DM assistance

Instead of the ring, use the warforged scout race from MM3. It starts at small. Then dungeonbred and you have tiny.

An Effigy (http://www.realmshelps.net/monsters/templates/effigy.shtml) Jermlaine (http://www.realmshelps.net/cgi-bin/mainlist2.pl?name=Jermlaine) or repeatedly-Return To Nature-d Half-Giant could work.

We decided to go warforged scout, with a dungeonbred template applied for a LA +1, thanks for all the advice guys.
