Inspired by the
master player race list, here's a list of LA +1 and LA +2 races without racial HD. At this moment, the list should include all races from non-setting books + FR, Eberron & Dragonlance races + Dragon Compendium races. Templates are not included. The list also does not include various tiny dragons or phaerimm that advance by growing.
