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).

shadowjak135 Good luck with your character. To explain what I meant earlier, you pick your skills at max values, but when you post, don't worry about the values. I keep tabs of your skill values myself, and when you want to make a skill check, I make the rolls and tell you what happened. It's easier that way on a forum game. It would defenitely help if you could catch up with what has happened and as soon as you post your character, I will resume the session. btw, are you sure you want to attack the party of 8 Dwarves with the shiny BATTLEAXES and BREASTPLATE armor? (just an fyi). You "might" need some help there, but then again, Barbarians do have a rather nasty reputation.
Ok, I will get things moving and then we can add shadowjak135 in as soon as he posts his sheet.
So everyone leaves the Inn and begin searching for Gravagos the Sage and the missing children's parents.(sound of dice rolling) After a few hours of searching, the group looking for the Sage finds his tent on the outskirts of town, while the group looking for the parents have not a clue where they could be. They ask around to find that there is a boarding house known as "Elara's Halfway House" on the road towards a large town known as Bard's Gate(Necromancer Games, I use this town frequently in my campaigns, it also works nicely in the Forgotten Realms Setting). It looks like the best thing to do is talk to the Sage, as he is the one offering a Reward for the return of the children or knowledge of their whereabouts.(hopefully you finished your character and don't mind me just throwing him in now shadowjak135) In town, you meet a Wild Elf Barbarian who is willing to join you in the "Search for the Children".
Lol. I am not on my computer at home at the moment, so i can't post my character, wilol be home in about an hour... maybe two? Anyway, I introduce myself as only "Harshblade". I am friends with one of the parents of the missing children, have been searching on my own, no luck, and so I heard that somew more people were going to join the search, and came up and asked to join in. No angry dwarves then? lol
Alright, so "Harshblade" introduces himself, Hyper stays with Lotton and Jeff (who is studing his spellbook?) while Braenoic introduces himself the Gravagos the Sage.
Ah, welcome young Ranger, my name is Gravagos.(after explaining why you are here) So you say are going to search for the children, hmm? Well, I will gladly pay you for any information of their whereabouts. How does 200 gp sound? That's for the lot of them. I sincerely hope you find them well, for the place they were seen was near the Darkmoon Vale Mountains. "when delving into the darker places of the world, only wisdom safely lights the way"
The paladin says that no payment is required for what should be no more than a civic duty and of goodness of heart, before the other party members manage to shut her up. Let us go quickly then, I agree with the barbarian.
Oh wait, I retract my previous statement. Before we all go, perhaps we should make a plan. I mean, I know time is of the essence, but just busting in without any sort of reason or rhyme sounds like a set up to me.
