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).

Alright so after about a week and a half of travel the forest begins to thin slightly, and the dirt path winding through it becomes wide enough to be defined as a road. A small, crudely painted sign by the side of the road reads Welcome to Deepwood. Along the bottom, someone has carved a few additional words: As far from anywhere as you ll ever find. A newer and less inviting sign of human habitation hangs from a nearby elm tree a human corpse dangling from a noose. It is dressed in rags, and a placard reading murdering dog is affixed to its shirt.
Remiel, completely apathetic to the creepiness and gore of the scene, cuts the corpse down from the tree and examines it. He's looking for anything like cause of death, race, age, gender, time of death, etc.
