I have a PDF of the Player's Handbook, which I will e-mail to you if you don't have a copy, you don't need to memorize it or anything, but it would help to have it handy for this game.If you want to play another race,then No level adjustments above +1.If you give me a good reason to play a race that's not +1 level adjustment I might let you. If you want a different class, just ask(I know all classes for 3.5).

Allow me to quote exactly the conversation that happened.
DB: You can beat a grizzly to death with your bare hands..... don't complain.
RS: ...well? why did you tell me to be monk? I asked you a few questions earleir, and you ignored them...
Me: What? I didn't ignore any questions that hadn't already been answered. But if you have any more questions, now is the time.
RS: ...it's just a stick, dude...how is it supposed to be useful, besides kindling?
DB: You are specially trained to use the staff. It is a good weapon in the hands of a trained monk.
RS: and, also, i just started, you guys are freaking buff, while right now i'm just a scrawny priest!!!!!!!!! why CANT i have any moddifications added to my quaterstaf?!!!!!!!
DB: Just walk over and palmstrike the wall, leaving cracks in it and your hand unharmed. After that, we will stop messing with you.
RS: ...it's just a stick, dude...how is it supposed to be useful, besides kindling?
Me: *headesk* No, it's not just a stick. It's a six-foot-long double weapon that deals 1d6 damage(the same as a shortsword), you're proficient with it, and you don't even need it. You can beat **** to death with your bare hands. Where is the downside?
RS: and, also, i just started, you guys are freaking buff, while right now i'm just a scrawny priest!!!!!!!!! why CANT i have any moddifications added to my quaterstaf?!!!!!!!
Me: What? That's bull****. I leveled you up to level 5, that's the exact same level as all the other characters. You're not just a "scrawny priest" and they're not "freaking buff". You have 18 Dexterity and 40 Hit Points dude, what are you complaining about? Also; Hyperion is wearing a chain shirt and wielding a longsword. How is that any better than what you've got?
Me: And once again, your quarterstaff is JUST FINE.
Me: DB, you just HAD to make fun of the newbie, didn't you?
RS: ...wha?
DB: You can punch a hole in the wall and hit harder with a stick than with a sword. You are like fukking Bruce Lee!
RS: dude, all my stuff is cloth and wood against metal...think you see the difference now?! Me: Just say that you're a monk, and let Hyperion do his recital of monkish information. We're just playing in character, we're not actually saying your character is weak. It's player knowledge, not character knowledge.
DB: Just walk over and punch a hole in the wall. RS: fine, give me your wisdom on "being a monk" or watever...
RS: dude, all my stuff is cloth and wood against metal...think you see the difference now?!
Me; That's the WHOLE POINT of the monk! You get your Wisdom and your Dexterity added to your AC, you don't need armor, because your Armor Class has so many bonuses! And the quarterstaff is a DOUBLE WEAPON that deals the SAME DAMAGE as a shortsword. The monk is NOT an equipment character, they get deductions if they wear a lot of heavy armor or use big-*** swords. They get a ton of bonuses from their Dexterity, Strength, and Wisdom into the stuff that would normally be affected by equipment, so they're just as powerful as the other characters but they don't need as much stuff.
DB: I meant it was stronger because you get 2 hits with it instead of one.
RS: fine, give me your wisdom on "being a monk" or watever...
Me: In character... RS: ...ok...just a sec here...
Smashes DB's head in game with quaterstaff, Tom and Jerry style...
lol, you said hit something, and i did, lol
DB: Not a good idea... I can shoot acid. Just walk over and punch a hole in the wall.
Never once did I say I agreed with DB, or that you could punch holes through walls.
i said he failed to punch through the wall he didn't penatrate the hardness and he gets a minus to sundering
And he my second try on the what happend ok the monk fails horribly Hidan,Arturo and DB052 Laugh at him And then the arguement Between hyper and Neri Happend " no but i am stronger but you are strong for an elf and for a female" "Ahhh Yes" Hidan turns to the monk " I am Hidan of the moutian Tribe nice to meet you"
