    Default [3.5] Races that grant Sneak Attack dice?

    Anyone know of one from any WotC source?

    Marrulurk, from Sandstorm. Great race for any sneaky-type. That, and you have the naztharune rakshasa (MM III), but it'd likely be better to use the class here as opposed to dealing with the ridiculous LA.
    All I can think of right now, though I'm sure there's more.

    IIRC, Derro (MM1) have sneak attack... Being absolutely insane may be a drawback depending on what you are looking for.

    Rememdian from me. Might could find some way to lower the LA.

    Naztharune Rakshasa, MM3. Absurdly high ECL, but get this: The errata says they gain Sneak Attack as if every single HD they get is a Rogue level. This means their Sneak Attack goes up by one die for every 2 HD no matter what class they take.

    True that... but somehow a 7+ ECL my bad, +5 LA with 11 levels of Outsider for a grand total of ECL 16 doesnt seem that fun (I think its around there)

    Marrulurk from Sandstorm is all I got off the top of my head.

    Yeah, it's definitely unplayable. I'm not sure if it has a Savage progression, though.

    Woah, and I thought having a single level of Swordsage on a Naztharune was crazy. That is absolutely frightening.

    Look a few posts up. Granted you have to look through the list and it's homebrew. (under Base Monster Classes, thread post #2)

    Unless I'm blind and someone has already mentioned them, there are also Assassin Devils from Fiendish Codex 2 and I think another devil from the same source.
