So I was thinking about how you would convert the Hellbred, out of "Fiendish Codex II", to Pathfinder-y goodness. The thought that I had was to combine the bonuses where they don't contradict one another, i.e. +2 Con, +2 Cha, -2 Int. I wish that there were another way but that seems the best to me (I like my int, dangit). Thoughts, help?

Seems the most intuitive way to work it, though honestly the bonuses themselves seem a bit odd for the class description. A wisdom bonus would make more sense than charisma imo, along with a hit to charisma, or flip it, and minus to wis/ plus to con.
But just by printed material? What you suggested sounds best.
With the flavor text of the race, a -CHA would make more sense, what with them being all shameful and guilt-tripped, or a -WIS, due to having been ditzes in their former lives to have got themselves into this situation, and one doesn't imagine them being on any good god's "Nice" list when the whole point of the race is that they're basically souls kept out of Hell via a plea bargain and probation.
I'm actually handeling the Hellbred as a +1 LA template (added to a normal race).
+2 Cha or Con (depending on which form they take) and the existing abilities listed under hellbred.
Simple ;)

I hadn't thought about doing it that way, but that would work given what the hellbred really are.

I'm taking this route with a lot of the +1 LA races (Aasimir, Teifling, Dealkyre, etc...), that way you still have the flavor and abilities of the base race, as well as the abilities that make them "something more" than the usual member of their race.
