I have a challenge for the playground: I want a race/template(s) combo that gives me maximum dexterity. It must follow these guidelines:
Max LA: +2, but +1 is better.
Max RHD: 1 if LA +1, 0 if LA+2. Again, 0 is preferred
Size: Medium or Small
No paragon classes.
No homebrew, no pathfinder. 3.5 (and some 3 maybe) only, but any and all 3.5 sources are okay if they're cited with books.
All races must be cited with books.
I would prefer no massive negative bonuses, but I'm willing to check out whatever you come up with.

The winner gets my gratitude and an internet high five.

Chaond (MM2) or catfolk (RotW) both give you +4 for +1 LA. A level in the half-fey savage progression (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20040213a) and the shadow walker template (UE) both give an additional +2 for +1 LA. Add unseelie fey (DrC) for a final +2 for +0 LA. So total +8 for +2 LA or +6 for +1 LA.

Petal has +10 for +2 LA, but it may only be available as a cohort.

Air Goblin is +4 and LA 0, so you can get up to +10.

I feel I should mention that anything with 1 racial HD can just replace it with a class level instead anyway.

Not a race or template, but the Deformity (Gaunt) feats adds +2 Dex at the cost of 2 Con.
