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).

Well, it seems as though I'm not going to be able to do anything. I'm gone for tonight. Head to the apothecary to get those bites checked for lycanthropy.
(Turn 3)(sound of dice rolling) The Werewolf attacks Luthien, and claws him for 5 damage. Hyperion strikes, and BARELY manages to finish off the Werewolf.
Victory, the party is awarded 1,200 XP (including the Barbarian, it's only fair) After that, you explore this lair and in the far corner you find what appears to be a Drow(beholderslayer) tied up in the corner, unconcious. The Drow does not appear to have been bitten, but does appear to have been hit on the head with a blunt object, perhaps a rock. There is a strong smell of seasonings in the air, indicating that this Drow was probably going to be cooked for dinner. It appears that you interrupted the Werewolf's dinner, thus saving this poor creature, VERY WELL DONE! (whenever you finish your character beholderslayer, go ahead and post, but feel free to "role-play" what your character is going to do. btw we could use either a strong healer, or a less-martial class. We have a Barbarian, a Paladin, a Rogue(maybe), a Ranger, and a Wizard).(looks at book) The rogue's only hope to escape Lycanthropy is for someone (probably the Ranger) to find some Belladona and force him to ingest it within the day, otherwise DBLACKSTAR's character will either become a werecreature(depends on ailignment, for some reason :\\)or you are going to have to kill him and he will have to make a new character. What do you want to do now?
(sound of dice rolling) So the Ranger goes out and looks for Belladona, but after searching for hours upon hours, finds NONE! The Paladin successfully restrains the rogue.
(sound of dice rolling) You DO know where Belladonna is commonly found, but you just can't find any. It looks like the rogue managed to break free of the Paladin and in a blind rage of fury, attacks and unfortunately CRITICALLY HITS the Wizard, killing him by taking out his vital organs in a single slash. the rogue collapses from blood loss and is unfortunately kind of screwed. (Sorry, but that's how the dice roll) I'm afraid DBLACKSTAR and ThorRatFox are going to need to make new characters (I would recommened level adjustment +1 races to balance out the level 2 party. Again, sorry about your characters).
