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).

Hey, Shadowjak here. I have played D&D 3.5 a lot, have a rule book, and everything. I want to play, may I jump in on this game at all? I will have a character ready by tommorow. Also, is there any set time when Deserthyena comes in and says something or is it pretty random? Also, is this played every day, or a set schedule? If you need some basic info about what I like to play, it is usually mages of some sort.
Welcome aboard shadowjak135, I'm usually on between 4 and 7 p.m. and maybe after 10 (depends on the day). If you don't already have a class in mind, the party good use a good "solid" healer (like a druid or cleric). we have a rogue, a wizard, a ranger, and a paladin already, but if you don't want to, there are other classes (IF you have the right book). I have the ENTIRE collection of 3.5 books at my disposal (...and that's why i don't play 4th ed. D&D) so if you know what you want to play a certain class, just ask me. I already explained where I draw the line on races(see my first post) otherwise just ask me. The schedule is whenever everyone posts, then I will post to continue the story (or combat).
Aright, I will have a barbarian character ready by tomorrow, I don't really like playing a healer. And, I also have the entire collection of 3.5 books... Lol. I want to play an elf barbarian, and I know that it's a bit off of the normal, but I think it would be fun. Anyway, thanks for letting me join in.
Ufortunately, SirNoobalot, the Dwarves are checked into the Inn, and it is getting late, so it looks like they are going to drink all night, then go to bed upstairs. It sounds like everyone agrees on talking to Gravagos and asking questions about the missing children. I will continue as soon as shadowjak135 posts his character and tells us what he wants his character to do. I will assume the character simply arrives at the Inn, unless he has something else in mind, then we can go from there.
btw,shadowjak135 I ALWAYS play elves in D&D. I think a Wild Elf Barbarian (just saying) would be a good idea for a Barbarian (again, it's your character) since you have all the books. Don't post the skill values, I assume all skill picks are automaticly maxed out (to simplify, since it's a forum RPG) and keep track of all rolls (since we don't have an in-forum dice roller, I usually roll for everyone anyway). If you have any other questions, I'll be here all night.
(sound of dice rolling) There are indeed rats in the basement and they are willing to comply with your command. It looks like the Dwarves are in for a LONG night.
What is Sirnoobalot? commanding rats? And yeah, wild elf sounds good. Anyway, I will be on tommorow with a complete character. And why shouldn't I post the skill values? I've only ever played around-a-table D&D before so I don't quite get all of the forum game rules.
I will follow the campaign closely, it seems as though this hasn't gotton too far. It seems like it will be a fun campaign. I'm going to back out of question asking at this point, and go start working on my character. Watch out for Laftharion, the only elf barbarian in the whole frickin world!!! lol. XP
If you want me to give an action now, it would be to go over to the dwarves, say "I heard that!" and punch the one that said that elves were fairies in the face. Go anger!
