I'm new to the game. I played a little single player and now later tonight two other friends who are also new to the game are going to play the story together. I'd like to make a new Sorcerer. I was looking at the Yuan Yi pureblood race for it beause it starts with +2 charisma. IS Yuan Yi a good race for a Sorcerer? Or what race would you guys suggest and for what reason? Thanks.
Best race for Sorcerer? Would yuan ti work?

Power wise, Yuan-Ti is maybe the best, but you'll level up slower than other races, and that's specially bad for casters. Personally, I recommend Human, that 2 points of CHA won't make a big difference, and it should be funnier.

Yuan-Ti is the most powerfull race for most characters really.
Except when you want to multi-class with multiple base classes taken at an uneven rate, where its favoured class: Ranger might pose a problem.
Regrdless, you do have to pay the ECL 2 price if you like the scaly ones. Which isn't always worth it.

I prefer human and not just because I favor humans in RPGs. The extra feat comes in handy since unlike wizards, sorcerers receive no bonus feats. An extra skill point per level can be helpful too depending on where it is spent. Wizards have the advantage of high intelligence increasing their skill pool. Sorcerers do not.
Finally, what Haplose mentioned about ECL is very true. I find any ECL race outside of a persistent world is rarely worth it for a sorcerer. The class's strength is in its spells. Racial bonuses rarely compare to having access to higher level spells sooner. Sorcerer spell access is already stunted by one spell level. Slowing down their progression further really weakens them.
It may not be a big deal once your character is level 20-22, but it really sucks while playing through an adventure.
