    Default Looking for a race

    I'm looking for a race. Not a specific one, though there are some criteria that it needs to fulfill. I'm hoping someone can help.

    Criteria
    Bonus to DEX.
    No penalties to anything else but CHA.
    Medium Size
    It would be good if it came from generic D&D and not the campaign setting specific stuff.
    If build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day.

    If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

    ... Elf. +2 Dex/-2 Con?

    Er, If you're talking 3.5e that is.

    Oh you said no penalties to anything BUT Cha...

    There's a version of the elf... Painted? maybe Snow?

    Ah yes... the post below me says Snow Elf.

    Try a Savage Progression Tiefling. LA +0, and you can either take the racial template level later or just skip it. Lesser Tiefling (Player's Guide to Faerun) is also LA +0, and gets the +2 Int.

    You can also add the Arctic racial template (Dragon #306, +2 Con/-2 Cha) to most elves to switch the Con penalty over to Cha.

    Other than that, I think Hadozee (Stormwrack, +2 Dex/-2 Cha) is the only one that does't require a lot of obscure templates/optional rules.

    The Player's Guide to Faerun specifies that "All lesser planetouched have the following racial trait in common, in addition to all the racial traits detailed elsewhere in this book." If the racial traits are not detailed elsewhere in this book, there is nothing to add to, and thus the operation ends with either an error (Something + Undefined = ERROR) or merely the Planetouched trait (Something + Nothing = Something). The only racial traits mentioned anywhere in the book are those for Aasimar, Tieflings, and Genasi.

    I'm not sure how much I agree with what I just said, but food for thought.
