Gray elf, (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/elf.htm#grayElf) Fire elf, (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/races/elementalRacialVariants.htm#fireElves) or possibly Fire hobgoblin (which is right under fire elf).

They come from the monster manual and unearthed arcana respectively.

Grey elves are the obvious choice, they're core, no LA, +2 Int and Dex, -2 Str and Con. Otherwise just like the PHB high elves.

Edit: Damn, ninja'd by an ogre :smallfrown:

Grey Elves.

/Lazy, but pretty sure they are MM1 with -2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Int.

Half celestials get a decent int bonus too IIRC, as do drow. Both are in MM1.

It's 7am, don't feel like digging out books.

EDIT: Stupid ninjas.

Mindflayers get a nice +8 bonus to Int among other things.

... What?

+8 Int, +6 Wis and Cha, +4 Dex, +2 Con and Str, as well as Mind Blast, psionic powers, and the ability to kill your opponents with successful grappling.

And all that for a measly +7 LA, in addition to the 8 racial HD.:smalltongue:

I did that from memory, which scares me somewhat.

Are drow worth the LA?

Nothing with LA +2 or more is.

Usually no. Anything you can get from the drow LA you can get from a class, which gives saves, BAB, and HD. If you are playing with LA buyoff and going to a higher level it may be worthwhile.

They're iconic enough that it's nothing to be concerned about.

The massive ECL 15 is why you use a Monster Progression similar to Savage Species (But don't use the Illithid Savant PrC! It'll make Ao cry!). Eating Brains from level one is always fun.

... I'm also contributing nothing to the main topic anymore :smallsigh:
