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).

(Turn 1, sound of dice rolling) Fel is the first to react to the impending threat, and shoots with his Longbow, and manages to hit one of the smugglers, but to no avail(5 damage). The Smugglers fire their "istols" at the Pirates, many of them miss completely, but a few shots managed to take down 4 Pirates quite easily. It is clear that these strange devices are incredibly inaccurate, but very devastating, seeming to ignore armor almost completely. Luthien shots at the cannon's "owder", and lights it up easily. The powder begins to burn, and it looks like it could explode soon. The Pirates pull out a second pistol and fire again, and another barrage of death cuts down 10 more smugglers. Harshblade shoots his shortbow, but was unable to hit anything. Arturo shoots with his special fire arrow, and ignites the powder yet again, this time, it explodes, killing 5 more smugglers and lighting the ship on fire. Mordoc gets out his longbow and shoots, but misses as well. Hidan uses his Lt crossbow, but FUMBLES, as he falls over from a misfire caused by over stretching the string. Judge shoots his Lt Crossbow, and manages to take down another smuggler(8 damage). Hyperion aims at the gunner and fires his shortbow, but misses. The tide has clearly turned on the smugglers, but the cannon is loaded again, so it looks like they get a final hoorah, as the cannon is aimed at the Keelboat, since it was Luthien and Aruturo's arrows that burned their "owder". The shot puts a lovely hole through the Keelboat, but the ship seemed to take it pretty well(40 damage). From what you tell, the ship is not sinking, but definitely needs repairs. You look with joy as you can see the Smuggler's ship sinking down to Davy Jones, and the Pirates can be heard cheering and celebrating. The smugglers abandoned ship, and whoever else was left is swimming for their lives. The Pirates are unfortunately in a bit of a pickle, what with no mast in the middle of a very wide river. They do as they promised, and leave without incident. However one of the crewmen(locoace3), who had no pistols, decided to jump ship, and has asked to join you. He does not appear to be evil, in fact, he seems to be of Lawful standards and did not enjoy the company of his fellow pirates.
Judge, Fel, Hidan, Mordoc, and Arturo, you have leveled up. CONGRATULATIONS! here are your extra hitpoints: Arturo-8 Fel-10 Hidan-10 Judge-4 Mordoc-9
Sorry, my internet went down, but I got to call it a night again. I volunteered at the senior citizen's center and they need me there tonight and maybe tommorow, so good night everybody.
