There are a few classes in 4e that would benefit from a race with bonuses to Int and Con. Swordmages, Artificers, Warlocks, and a few Wizards in particular. The only race available is the Githyanki from the MM2, and they're fluffed to be enemies only rather than PCs.
I'd be tempted to allow Genasi to choose between Int/Con and Int/Str. It would give them a few more classes that they're really good at too. There's precedent with Changelings getting to choose their second stat.
Another option would be to change Shadar-kai to Int/Con so they're more than just "Eladrin of the Shadowfell", obviously changing their preferred classes a little.
Are there any D&D or general fantasy races that would suit Int/Con bonuses? Or does anyone have an idea for something completely new?
