    Default 3.5 Races with a bonus to int and wis?

    I am looking for any and all LA+0 races that have a bonus to both inteligence and wisdom in 3.5 D&D. I only know of one(those monkey people from Oriental Adventures) though I am sure there is at least one which can be used in a non-oriental campaign. If anybody knows such a race, please, share here.

    LA+0 and +Int is pretty rare. I don't think there's a single race that gets +Wis at LA+0 (unless you count anthropomorphic bats... but I dunno the LA there). I'd say there aren't any, but I don't want to commit to that.

    Edit: Now that Djinn agrees, I'd bet money on it. Djinn is all knowing.

    It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.

    If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).

    The best answer is always to ask your DM.
    Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

    There are no other LA +0 races from official sources. Sorry. I check everything I know.

    Ingredients

    2oz Djinn
    5oz Water
    1 Lime Wedge


    Instructions

    Pour Djinn and tonic water into a glass filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Garnish with lime wedge. Serve.

    Well, there is one technicaly, but it's oriental specific. I suppose I could try and see if my DM would let me take said race despite it's oriental nature, or just use archivest instead of cleric(though that means I will have to actually hunt for my divine spells as well as arcane ones, though I suppose it's not THAT bad considering archivest gets to learn divine spells from any list, which can pay off in the long run, it just means more work to get spells.)

    Technically, if you can get your DM to go with it, nothing is ever X specific.

    Edit: Archivists get extra spells per level like a Wizard (that's two per level, IIRC), so it's not that bad. Especially since divine spells from any list is downright broken.

    I think Star Elves may have a bonus to wisdom but I can't recall,
    Anyway you won't find a LA+0 race with a bonus to two ability scores outside of pathfinder rules where +2 to two stats an -2 to another is standard.

    Step 1) Pick any LA +0 Race
    Step 2) Age up categories until Int and Wis are as high as you need
    Step 3) Profit!

    Buomman from the Planar Handbook. +2 Wis, -2 Cha, LA +0.

    They have... annoying restrictions, though.

    Yes, actually.

    Axani from dragon 297 are a LA+1 planetouched race with a bonus to intelligence and wisdom. As per Player's Guide to Faerun, you can reduce the LA of a planetouched race by 1 by making them into a lesser planetouched, changing outsider type to humanoid, adding a weakness to outsider-targeting spells, and losing darkvision.

    Full stats would violate the GPL. It's a whole article (eight total planetouched). Should be listed in the ToC.
