This is a reference for some oddstuffs I may collect at some point. Things which are too narrow and peculiar for any handbook.
Ways to gain +1 skillpoint/levelRacesAquatic Humans (UA; human++)
Sea Kin (RoD)
Underfolk (RoD)
Varsharan (BoVD; bonus feat must be vile)
Feat,
Human Blood [Racial] (Dragon #324) gives half-humans (i.e. half-elves, half-orcs) the same benefit.
Feat,
Nymph's Kiss [Exalted] (BoED) also does this, but... feels more contrived.
Template, Wild (Dragon #306) gives this, among other things
Undead that are playable (have a listed LA) and can be created via spell (so that corpsecrafter can be applied):LA+2: Cryptspawn (MoF)
LA+3: Curst (LEoF) immunity to turning, fire and cold, fast healing 1, SR, but terrible stats..I'd take the 3.0 version anyday though
[LA+4: Zin-Carla (F&P)] not a spell, but a (Su) ... hmm
LA+6: Spectral Mage (MoF)
LA+8: Silveraith (City of the Spider Queen)
Of special interest is this
update for 3.0 FR Monsters.
I also believe Mummified Creatures (LM, LA+4, really nice stats) can be created just like Mummies, but that's more of a vague guess based on flavortext. I'd allow it as a DM.
