I need help in setting up my Half-Erinys (singular of Erinyes).  My unmodified stats are Str: 17, Con: 14, Dex: 14; Wis: 10, Int: 11, Cha: 13  I am thinking my half-fiend's father is a Houri (Houri are Nymph/Elf corssbreed that appeared in Bastards & Bloodlines 3rd party book).  So do I get the following bonuses that a Houri has plus the half-erinys bonuses? Houri bonus to stats are: +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, +8 Charisma: Houri are graceful, bright, creative, charming, and always attractive.  My characters mortal father must have dark brown skin and black hair since my half-fiend also has that dark brown skin and black hair.  I got that I would get the following bonuses do to her being half-erinys: Str +4, Dex +4, Con +4, Cha +4.  So would my spell-like abilities be then?  Do I get a a +2 natural armor bonus due to the fact I am a half-erinys?  I am using the article in the link to make my half- fiend.  (www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/eo/200...)

Here is the only problem I have with the Houri.  Spells: Houri cast spells as 2nd-level druids. A houri druid adds her druid levels to her innate spellcasting level for purpose of spells per day, saving throw, and other level dependent effects. For example, a 5th level druid casts as a 7th level druid.

I want to go the fighter/rogue route as my classes.  I would like to have a good sneak attack bonus as a rogue.  I am thinking I want to have more levels of fighter then rogue.  I am thinking she uses a longsword or a bastard sword and a scourge as her weapons.

Half-fiend is a template that's added onto a base creature (in this case, houri), so you would use all the rules for the houri, plus the rules for half-fiend. Which means you'll get a +12 to Cha, +6 Dex, +4 Str & Con, +2 Int, and the casting of a 2nd-level Druid (which isn't much). You also need to have ALL of the houri's HD, plus the LA of both the race and the template. I'm guessing this means you're starting out as a 8th to 10th level character.

The total LA for this half-fiend would be +9.  So is there a better races that work well that i can have as her father then the Houri since I be at 1D8 for 9 levels no matter how I work it out?  I do want her as a half-erinys to attractive.  I also do not want her to be half-elf and half-erinys.  I originally had being part Unseelie Fey which meant she got -2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, -2 Constitution, +2 Charisma.  That did not work well since I need the hp from the high CON and I do not want take a hit to Strength either.

How would I explain the fact she has pointed ears as half-fiend if her father does not have pointed ears?  Also how would I go about having her be the mother to a race of half-fiends that are powerful and attractive at the same time?

If the erinyes has pointed ears, then why do you need to explain it?  Mechanically, it means nothing; it's just fluff.

What do you mean by "powerful"?

Erinyes look like female angels.

I meant that her offspring will have good SLAs, the following bounses or better Str +4, Dex +4, Con +4, Int +4, Cha +3, the ability fly at a good speed, good Damage reduction (I would go for a better DR then 5/magic (if HD 11 or less) or 10/magic (if HD 12 or more).
